The Russian eSports industry is about to punch a hole in the global scheme of things after a Russian oligarch plunges $100 million into a top Russian eSports clan.

The gaming world has come a long way since 1984.

In those heady days, a talented Russian named Alexey Pajitnov created a simple looking game called Tetris. Many years later and those falling blocks had enthralled the lives of millions of people. Psychologists have even proven that playing the game can help reduce flashbacks for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) sufferers.

Pajitnov must have made millions.
