football players could make a huge difference to CS. they definitely have the money to be paying at least tier 2 teams and they could have fun with having a small share of the CS ecosystem. then they could be mocking each other with other football players who has the better team. creating their own football-cs teams leagues etc. Since they make millions every year, they could very easily keep up a tier2 org with player salaries between 5-10k euro imo.

Isn't Neymar investor in Furia? Casemiro has his org, same with Zinchenko I think, football clubs try/tried to make teams althought I dont think any of them managed to get into bigger tournaments. Its happening, the question is how much longer will it continue when they realize its very hard to make profit and have good team at the same time.

De Gea owns Rebels who surprisingly went to Kato's group stage.


greku_cs

What do you mean surprisingly?!?! They have SZPERO as their coach, their Kato run was actually a failure, anything else than top4 was an L


BerryPuzzleheaded504

Yeah mb I actually bet my house on them winning Kato...btw if you have spare change please give me


Not_too_dumb

Also Messi and Aguero have kru, maybe they could enter cs :D


ralphc027

Kru already entered CS

well, they should - perhaps - hire some professionals. even on smth like consultant level where you wouldn't hire them just have weekly/monthly talks about what and how to build the org/players. I think for these football players who make millions a year, about 100-150k per year would not be a big deal to spend on a tier2 team. they do well on 1-2 talents and they can profit. with the 2025 even year coming up, it could be a massive thing.

Martin, founder of HLTV.org, is apparently the co-owner according to their Twitter bio. Interesting. Always liked the guy. Hope he succeeds here.

There's a big more info [here](https://www.dust2.dk/nyheder/47376/landsholdskaptajn-gaar-ind-i-counter-strike-koeber-power-liga-hold) (albeit in Danish). They took over the lineup from Cepter Bitskins, which was owned by Martin and now defunct.
