The obvious Engrish of "prizing" aside, look at what surrounds it:

In the tournament itself blitzchung *played* fair. We now believe he should receive his prizing. We understand that for some this is not about the prize, and perhaps for others it is disrespectful to even discuss it. That is not our intention.

English writers don't structure sentences that way.
Check out the way the release veers between first person singular ("I"), first person plural ("we"), and third person singular ("Blizzard").
And check out this grammatical clusterfuck:

When we think about the suspension, six months for blitzchung is more appropriate, after which time he can compete in the Hearthstone pro circuit again if he so chooses. There is a consequence for taking the conversation away from the purpose of the event and disrupting or derailing the broadcast.

No way a native English speaker wrote that. Especially not a professional public relations communicator (who also wouldn't use *asterisks* for emphasis).
