The Ongoing Conflict Since PGL Major in Copenhagen

To grasp the situation, it's important to recall what happened at PGL Major Copenhagen. At that time, representatives of the group associated with CSGOEmpire stormed the stage in protest against the site scamming users, CSGORoll. Disputes between these platforms were the reason for this audacious act. However, CSGOEmpire later issued an official apology, stating that their message was simple: "scamming is never okay," and added: "We'd hereby like to make a commitment - we will never disrupt a Counter-Strike or Valve event again."

Nevertheless, when the group's plans for the Perfect World Shanghai Major came to light, speculation began - who is behind this? The founder of CSGOEmpire, Monarch, reposted the video hinting at Shanghai on his page, raising even more questions regarding CSGOEmpire's involvement in future events. Or is this just a coincidence?
