    It was very funny at a tournament a few weeks ago which was sponsored by a gambling website (as most are), two of the teams were named and sponsored after two other gambling sites (BetBoom, Paravision). The tournament organizer I guess wasn't allowed by their gambling sponsor to say the team names so the casters and analyst referred to them as PVision and BBTeam.

    There's a bunch of shit in ProCs: Other common sponsors include Durex, the US Airforce, potnoodle. Not to mention how Malta is a tax haven for esports through "Gaming Malta" and the Saudis own their own team (Falcons) and one of the largest Tournament Organizers (ESL/FaceIt). Saudi is trying a lot of sports washing stuff, they started the Esports World Cup in Riyadh.
