Fans Express Discontent with Streamer Nemo's Invite to WSOP Paradise

​

Very soon there will be a large-scale poker festival WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas, which will bring together celebrities from various fields from all over the world. And the first scandal related to it happened even before its official start. The fact is that the dissatisfaction of the fans and a flurry of criticism caused the decision of the organizers to invite the scandalously famous streamer Nemo to the series (her real name is Qiyu Zhou and in addition to poker, she is a chess grandmaster). The WSOP coordinators announced on Twitter that Nemo will be participating in the WSOP Paradise in December and immediately received a barrage of hate so strong that they even had to close the comment section.

Apparently, the organizers hoped that the fans had already forgotten about this incident, but everything turned out the other way around. Currently, comments under the post announcing Nemo's participation in WSOP Paradise are closed, but the announcement itself remains on the official WSOP page on the X-network. It is not known whether the organizers will change their decision regarding this invitation.

Chess Grandmaster @akaNemsko will also be chasing bracelets during WSOP Paradise, will you ?
