Jonas Jerebko buys professional gaming team

Professional gaming is becoming more and more popular and has started to get more into the mainstream by popping up from time to time on TV. Boston Celtics forward Jonas Jerebko has noticed the trend and has jumped into the business side of gaming…..

He bought the rights to the team from former owner Christopher “Montecristo” Mykles. As part of the deal, he also gets the team’s stake in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in the WME | IMG Eleague and the ESL. Additionally, Jerebko will have the first right of refusal to negotiate new team contracts.

Members of the Renegades lived in Australia, but Jerebko moved them into a house/training center in Rochester, Michigan, also bringing on a coach and a team manager.
