Each team who is participating in the event has stands where fans can get goodies and experience the products that are out for display by the sponsors. The G2 stand, though, got a very different experience as a protestor glued his hand onto the CS:GORoll slot machine.

CS:GO faces a strange protest amidst the ongoing Majors

The FPS community is vast, and amidst them stands CS:GO with its broad fan base. This game, through these years, has become more than just an FPS title. The passion shown by gamers worldwide has pushed more activities outside the in-game environment. Among these are the third-party skin trades.

The skin trade market in the gaming biz is one of the most dollar-heavy spaces. CS:GO, which has a trading system, has been a pioneer in this market. Thus, the need for more unique skins gave rise to organizations like CS:GORoll. This particular trade platform has been subjected to quite many allegations over the years. The latest one on the list was the inclusion of m0NESY in a promotional video right after he turned 18.

Nevertheless, this particular individual decided to glue his hand onto the slot machine that was present in the G2 booth as a protest against CS:GORoll. This soon got the attention of the crowd, especially as there was quite a long line of people waiting to use the machine.

The unknown protestor started accusing CS:GORoll with countless statements. “I lost my f*****g house, to this f*****g company,” he screamed as the security guard tried to talk him out. He called the organization of its alleged scamming methods and was not ready to leave the premises.

Later, a few more security guards showed up and escorted the protestor out of the premises. Interestingly, after this drama unfolded, CS:GORoll posted a Tweet (deleted now) on Twitter. It alleged a competitor for setting up such a protestor to defame the organization.

CS:GORoll is the self-acclaimed ‘Largest CSGO P2P Skins Marketplace’. But apparently, the company has faced its fair share of bans. The ban in Australia is a prime example. The skin marketplace walks on a very thin line, and there are countless arguments raised against companies like CS:GORoll for their involvement in the biz. But for now, everything seems to have stabilized, and the fans can enjoy their favorite tournament without any hindrance.
