The owner of the Esports Aurora Gaming, Valery "L3rich" Kharitonov, made a bold move when betting $ 700,000 in Inter Milan will win PSG in the UEFA Champions League final on May 31, 2025. With a betting rate of 3.53, this bet can bring the potential of $ 2,471,000, which is rumored Tell Türkiye's CS2 squad.

The bet has become a fierce debate topic in the Esports community, when experts estimate that the Turkish team may have cost about $ 2,000,000.

Its bet and context

Betting was placed on May 30, 2025, and its state was marked as "accepted." L3rich, famous for active participation in Esports, commented on his dynamic, explaining that this is part of the strategy to compensate for investments in the team.

The most common question in the past month: "How much is the Turkish team bought for?" 

Of course, I couldn't say it for NDA, but maybe this bet I would overcome him? Or maybe I won't, who knows. One thing I know for sure: Hakan çalhanoğlu will score from a free kick and Inter will win 1-0.

According to unofficial data, Türkiye's CS2 squad that Aurora has just bought may have cost from 1,800,000 to 2,200,000 dollars, depending on the contract and bonus of the players. If the bet is successful, the victory can help L3rich get closer to the recovery of these expenses, although the risk of losing a large part of the budget is also very high.




This Turkish squad has just joined Aurora Gaming, which is the result of a cult transfer: The organization bought the entire squad of Eternal Fire, one of the strongest teams on the stage of Türkiye CS2. The transfer took place on April 5, 2025, when Aurora announced the signing of a contract with the team.

The move was surprised for the community, when Eternal Fire had a reputation as the first Turkish team to reach the level of top teams, and their transfer to Aurora has caused many discussions about the organization's financial capacity and their ambition on the international stage.
