Boston Celtics Star Buys eSports Franchise; ESIC Commish Warns of Organised Crime; Yahoo Ink Deal With ESL

Three tales of an eSports flavour including the news that a Boston Celtics star has bought an eSports franchise, a corruption specialist believes organised crime is just around the eSports corner, and Yahoo agrees to a two-year deal with ESL.

There was a time when professional sports stars would head down to GAME and buy a copy of Call of Duty (COD), or FIFA, and fire up a few games with their mates.

How times have changed.

These days, the professional sports stars aren’t interested in buying the games, they are too busy buying the teams. The latest to decide to buy an eSports team instead of another sports car is the NBA star Jonas Jerebko.
