This almost never happens in Esports. A team to stand up to the dirty bloody millions of esport-washing of saudi arabia. 99% of your gaming heros, once offered with the cash, bent their knees then streched and lubricated their buttocks wide open with that saudi oil for it. It's too hard for young dumb fucks who only care about games to not sellout and take blood-stained dirty money taken from the taxes and wealth of poor oppressed unrepresented people in a murderous dictatorship. Same happened for saudi soccer/golf/mma/boxing sportwashing.

8 out of the top 10 athlete earners in 2024 ($100millions+ earned each) got their money from saudi arabia. that tells you all need to know:

Farming Simulator has an esport. Microsoft Excel has an esport. At this point it'd be weird if Geoguessr didn't have an esport.

But are you an esport?

Yep. The Geoguessr World Cup happens regularly.
