Drake Now Co-Owning An Esports Team Puts The "Video Games Are For LOSERS" Crowd In Quite The Pickle

Forbes – In November 2017, former professional gamer Matt “Nadeshot” Haag took to his YouTube channel to announce that his apparel company, 100 Thieves, received a multimillion-dollar investment from Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken Loans owner Dan Gilbert, allowing him to expand into a full-fledged esports organization. Less than a year later, 100 Thieves is one of the fastest-rising brands in the industry, and Haag is partnering with a few more notable names. 100 Thieves announced Tuesday that it completed its Series A funding round, which was co-led by SB Projects founder Scooter Braun and Grammy-winning artist Drake, who both become co-owners. Braun, who represents artists like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, also joins the company’s board. Included in the round is Sequoia Capital, WondrCo, Marc Benioff, Drew Houston, Green Bay Ventures, Tao Capital and Advancit Capital. Along with last year’s investment, 100 Thieves now has $25 million in total funding, and the new influx of capital will go toward building out its content team, acquiring new talent and continuing to expand its apparel line.

HA! Why would the world most famous rapper EVER wanna be associated with these nerd turds? The only people involved with video games live in their mother’s basement and provide very little to society, and NOTHING in the amount of money/respect. That’s what 7th place bloggers who piggyback off cickbait and other people’s work say, so that’s the way it goes. I don’t care about these “Numbers” and “Facts”. Yeah, 100 Thieves may be backed by big time names in sports, media, and entertainment while garnering $25 million+ in funding to expand in a market worth BILLIONS, so what? Gamers are LOSERS with a capital L, even if it’s easily one of the fastest growing, most profitable industries in the world. Hey Drake –

PS – Chances Drake will switch allegiances to whatever Esports team is winning at the time? 10000%. And yo, Drakey, if you need someone to carry you in Duos/life, forget about Ninja (who, for some reason, said you used him for exposure). You know where to cook. We can wait up (almost) all night.

PPS – We’re streaming today in the office for an Ad deal from 2ish-4ish if you wanna hop in at Twitch.tv/barstoolsports. Like last time, I was gonna ask Nate for his permission to play at HQ and pay his salary, but again remembered he can go fuck himself.
