Immediately after the autograph session ended, offers appeared on Chinese marketplaces to sell items with autographs starting at $100. The rifler of FaZe Clan, Robin "ropz" Kool, and the rifler of Ninjas in Pyjamas, Fredrik "REZ" Sterner, have already expressed their dissatisfaction.

I enjoy interacting with fans, but obviously, it's disappointing that these items appeared for sale on the same day. We don't have the best security at this event, so please respect our personal space when we say 'no'.
Meanwhile, REZ was succinct in his Twitter, but clearly unhappy with this turn of events:
