Do they make their players' salaries really high and start buying all the CIS players and forming VP.young, VP.potential and VP.wanzhou?

Lot of unnecessary flamebait for China I guess? No. I wish people understood why these brands exist..

What they do is everything else you said. They make VP the subsidiary of a larger organization that manages CIS sports in general. That $100M~ figure can be seen as a kickstarter to fund the CIS version of ESPN for esports. This opens up worlds of opportunity and can expand the brand of VP itself but I'd say it's a large business venture to get a grasp on a market that is completely underdeveloped in a shaky region of the world.

In America, if you're not first to patent something, you're basically last place. These guys are gonna try to do it as big as they can and strong-arm the entire market. That's how I'm seeing it anyway.

I highly doubt they're gonna make 50 teams and try to scoop up/poach every good player out there in every game. But they may expand their brand as widely as they can so that they take the majority of highly paid sponsorships in their region. That is entirely likely to happen, and would probably change a lot of things for CIS Dota.

The biggest change this could have, at least in my opinion, is that CIS may have many more LANs and separated qualifiers for existing LANs from Europe. This is probably the best news you can hope for since it finally shows that esports are becoming much more specific. Based on the results of the Frankfurt Major qualifiers, we may see South American and SEA separated from NA/Korea after TI6. The scene is growing incredibly rapidly, we just need more money thrown at teams.
