The owner of Aurora Gaming placed a $700,000 bet to recoup the money spent on the CS2 roster

The owner of the esports organization Aurora Gaming , Valery “L3rich” Kharitonov, made a bold move by betting $700,000 on Inter Milan to win their match against PSG in the UEFA Champions League final on May 31, 2025. The bet, with odds of 3.53, could yield a potential win of $2,471,000, which is rumored to help offset the significant financial costs of acquiring the Turkish CS2 roster.

The amount of the bet has been the subject of heated debate in the esports community, as experts estimate that the Turkish team could have cost around $2,000,000.

The bet and its context
The bet was placed on May 30, 2025, and its status is already marked as “Accepted.” L3rich, known for his active involvement in esports, commented on his move, explaining that it is part of a strategy to cover investments in the team.

The most popular question over the past month: “How much was the Turkish team bought for?”
Of course, I can't say because of the NDA, but maybe thanks to this bet I'll beat 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, the Turkish CS2 roster, which Aurora recently acquired, could have cost between $1,800,000 and $2,200,000, depending on player contracts and bonuses. If the bet proves successful, the winnings could bring L3rich significantly closer to recouping these costs, although the risk of losing a significant portion of the budget also remains high.

This Turkish roster, which recently joined Aurora Gaming , is the result of a high-profile transfer: the organization bought out the entire roster of Eternal Fire , one of the strongest teams on the Turkish CS2 scene. The transfer took place on April 5, 2025, when Aurora announced the signing of the team.

This move came as a surprise to the community, as Eternal Fire had earned a reputation as the first Turkish team to reach the echelon of the best teams, and their transition to Aurora sparked much discussion about the organization's financial capabilities and its ambitions on the international stage.
