Nexus Gaming has announced its withdrawal from the CSGOEmpire Cup tournament, as stated in a recent tweet. This decision was made in light of a manifesto published by the tournament organizers on stage at the PGL Major, which has sparked controversy within the esports community.
In a blog post, CSGOEmpire declared a "war" against scam sites, specifically naming CSGORoll and criticizing G2 for advertising them. They have called for G2 to end their partnership with CSGORoll, citing ethical concerns and the integrity of the esports industry.
