Russia's 3rd richest man invests 100$ million dollar into a russian dota 2 team.
“Our main goal is to increase the popularity of e-sports in Russia, and this is what USM’s investment will go towards. The funds will primarily be used to launch new tournaments and various new gaming disciplines, as well to create media channels to cover the sport and to construct e-sports arenas.”
" Media channels " is what makes me the happiest, having esports on television is huge.

Well they have a dota 2 team but they started out in 2003 as a counterstrike team. The same year DotA was released in warcraft 3.

There were quite a lot of people on reddit saying that the investor is basically using this investment to launder money and bla bla bla i kinda agree too, i mean he might spend few hundred thousands on esports but i dont really think that this whole $100 million is going there

Hide'n'seek has more sports to it than playing PvP video games will ever have.

The **** with NaVi is money laundering, not actually funding the company.
