Will the ban on Belarussian flag revoked?

Flags aren't banned, that's what I am talking about.
Many sports are now vexed by the vexilological question. Watching the ongoing Counterstrike PGL tournament, I saw that Team Spirit who were eliminated this week, had four Russian flags and one Ukrainian flag. It was surprising and inspiring to me to see these players fight side by side. These flags show that even though they hail from different countries, they can work together as a team and have peaceful gaming fun. I wish everyone here on Lichess the same.

Your claim are wrong. In the candidates tournament page flags are still banned.

I still cannot find any official documents or sources about your sayings. Only the bans can be found.
Please do NOT make fake news like Russia.
