Please edit. edit: I have no idea why Azubu has "AG" in their name since their are not listed in DAX. Frankly speaking, I also wonder how much resources Azubu is investing on E-Sport without secure business model. winning LoL $2 million dollars winning SC2 $1.6 miilion dollars winning WoTank $2.5 million dollar Net profit 2013 $5.1 million dollars Solid buziness model if you ask me  and oh, notidehunter announces to be sponsored by Azubu, so put that DotA2 $1 million in the gross income too. | ||

TLDR: Rich people waste tons of money, dont know why people are expecting that Azubu wants to get a financial return on their money. | ||

If I was still in Berlin I would visit the Handelzentrum just to see if there is indeed anything space lent by Azubu. azubu has actually more than 1 office in berlin, a friend of mine worked there for a couple of months - i got told that it was very chaotic and unprofessional there, i cant go into anymore details without makin it possible to find out who i am talking about | ||

The DAX is an index of 30 major companies of Frankfurt Stock Exchange, that has nothing to do with anything. Also, you can be an AG without being a publicly traded company at all. Aktiengesellschaft just means that the company is owned through shares. Those shares could be held by a single person without any trading at all. | ||

[Lars Windhorst]'s been managing Sapinda International, a company owned by Robert Hersov. As well as Vatas Holding, owned by Hersov, too. Vatas Holding owned over 8% of Balda AG shares at one point, Balda is a manufacturer of plastic materials and electronic parts. In 2008, Vatas was sentenced to pay EUR29m to Audley Capital, a British hegde fund. In 2009, German Bank NORD/LB sued Vatas for EUR150m, after they were supposedly ordered by Vatas to buy 13 million shares of Balda. Vatas filed for insolvency after this. [...] Note that Hersov originates from the owners family of Anglovaal Mining, a South African mining company related to illegal weapon smuggling and bribaries of BAE Systems, a british weapons contractor. Now that is some really shady stuff right there. | ||

You can easily connect any noteworthy businessman with any other noteworthy (and shady) businessman like that with just a few steps. I think there even used to be a website that did that for you. Still, great OP! I was having similar thoughts about FXO back then, too. | ||

Shadow_Broker (the user on reddit) said Hersov and Lars both showed up at the summer finals tournament of LoL during the prize ceremony, that and the SYSK LTD link as owners of the name Asubu is the only connection. Still trying to find images/video of the award ceremony where both can be seen, or at least Lars Windhorst. | ||
