This a real thing or just some trolls? I haven't heard anything about it so I'm assuming the latter.

This seems to be a real, local Bangladeshi pool operation that is stealing the Matchroom name and logo.

The entry fee of 4000 Bangladeshi currency (Taka) is about $40 at current exchange rates.

They use the correct color pool balls like the rest of the world so clearly they aren't the "real" Matchroom, and thankfully so.

On a funny side note they have "Matchroom" in their name but they are basically using the format from Matchroom's competitor the Predator Pro Billiard Series (just with 9 ball and alternating breaks), so I'm sure Matchroom is getting their hide chapped over the whole thing just that much more lol.
