With the help of Valve and Dota, Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, the Danish player and captain for OG has raked in close to $7 million throughout his gaming career. He has been the most successful Esports player to walk the earth. However, he intends to give back to the industry that helped him reach such great heights. Therefore, he recently invested a huge chunk of his earnings to buy an Esports facility in Lisbon.

British Public Broadcast service BBC recently interviewed the Dota 2 player. Additionally, they also went on a tour of his mansion, which they posted in a recent YouTube video. In the video, N0tail gave an idea behind the purpose of his mansion and what went into making the decision to spend such a huge chunk of his earnings.

This brings the total of his mansion to about €1.8 million or $2.2 million. Moreover, the mansion has 17 bedrooms in which N0tail intends to house his teammates and other players.

The professional Dota 2 player said, “Growing up, I really wanted to revolve my life around games, and now I have this thing dedicated to games. It’s a wonderful thing.”

As most of the competitions are currently happening online, Johan has been housing two of the newest OG recruits. As the captain of the team, he has been giving them training and teaching them the tricks of the trade.

The mansion is currently also housing Johan’s support staff. These include the social media manager, sports psychologist, and a full-time chef. The mansion also has a recreational area containing a ping-pong table as well as a full-fledged gym.

Till then, he can take turns sleeping in the 17 bedrooms of his $2.2 million mansion.
