“New era for the organization”: Team Vitality announces €50 million investment into CS: GO and League of Legends ‘super teams’
France's leading Esports team, Vitality, has just announced a huge investment of €50 million that will be spread across their talent pool over the next three years. The investment started with hiring some of the most talented top players in both CS:GO and League of Legends history.
Team Vitality star player Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut said:
This new expansive roster addition is big news not just for their competition but for the whole competitive gaming world. An esports organization paying this amount of money may seem absurd at first, but esports has shown to be immensely popular.
Its popularity is growing every year, and if significant investments like this continue, it'll surely keep growing. That being said, fans can be quite sure that this wasn't the news that competing esports organizations wanted to wake up to today, especially team Astralis, who has been on a losing streak against Vitality.
Vitality's acquisition of top players is certainly going to make them a powerhouse in the years to come, and it seems as though their plan doesn't end there. They intend to be the number one esports organization in Europe, and with these new teammates and crazy investments, they may have a chance.
However, large investments like this raise the bar for other organizations, so if they want to properly compete, they'll have to make some investments of their own.
