TNC Predator's Carlo 'Kuku' Palad could be banned from playing at the Chongqing Major in China, according to unconfirmed reports.

The Filipino star was earlier this month accused of using terms offensive to Chinese opponents, prompting apologies and a statement from Valve ordering teams to get tough on descrimination..

The ban would also apparently apply to Kuku's compatriot Rolen Andrei Gabriel 'Skemberlu' Ong, who is currently inactive after being dropped from the compLexity roster.

Valve's actions - effectively ordering teams to get their own houses in order - have not been strong enough in the view of Chinese officials, if indeed the ban is to be put in place.

CHONGQING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) – A new China-Europe freight train carrying commercial vehicles, the first of its kind, arrived Thursday in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.

The train, carrying 112 Mercedes-Benz cars, started its trip in Bremen, Germany on Oct. 29, and traveled 14,000 km across Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan, and arrived in Chongqing via the Horgos Port, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The one-way trip took 16 days and 16 hours, reducing transportation time by more than two-thirds compared with by sea. Compared with shipping containers, train carriages are larger and less restricted by seasonal changes.

According to the China Railway Special Cargo Services CO., Ltd., the new train will attract more car companies in China and the Belt and Road countries to utilize it, adding an import and export of 50,000 to 100,000 commercial cars via railway every year.
