Saudi Arabian Prince Crazy Playing Dota 2 and Call of Duty Games

 


Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman is the person responsible for diversifying Saudi Arabia's businesses, so they don't depend on oil. Including into the game industry, which turns out to be because he really likes playing games.

The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has clearly expressed his fondness for Activision's best-selling game series, Call of Duty. To the New Yorker magazine in 2018, Prince Salman called his most favorite distraction game Call of Duty (CoD).


Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the consortium he leads, then bought 14.9 million shares of Activision Blizzard - the maker of CoD - at the end of 2020 for USD 1.4 billion.



Not only that, Prince Salman is also rumored to be an urban legend in the Steam and Dota 2 communities. Because there is an account on Steam that names himself as '(His Royal Highness) Prince Abdullah bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud'.


The account name keeps changing, according to win.gg, it also changed to 'Pls watch my Dota Anime! Thx', and with the nickname 'Yuki Yukeo'.



This account is allegedly owned by the Prince of Saudi Arabia, but of course not just because of the name of the account. But because this account is the biggest contributor to The International 10 competition prize, whose total contribution reaches USD 11 thousand.


This account also spent USD 40 thousand to have the highest TI10 battle pass level, which is level 107,584.


Of course it is difficult to confirm whether this account is actually owned by Prince Salman. However, his own profile page is quite interesting to follow, for example in his profile he admits that he often passes invitations to play games. The cause? It took him more than 30 minutes to move from room to room in his house.


The account owner also admitted that he felt he didn't need to stream while playing games, because he already owned a large amount of Twitch's parent stock - Amazon -.



"I don't need to stream, because we already have billions of shares in Amazon, Twitch's parent company," he wrote.


In his inventory, it can be seen that this account has almost all the expensive skins in Dota 2. He has 14 different versions of the Baby Roshan courier. He also has exclusive weapons from Weta Workshop, namely the Ax of Phractos and the Monarch Bow. What's so special about it?


These two weapons are sold in packages, namely in physical form, at a price of USD 1,563. He also has the Golden Nether Lord's Regalia, of which there are only 25 units in the world
