In his reality show \u2018Bendtner & Philine\u2019, which aired on Discovery+, the Dane spoke with reverence about esports\u2019 potential as a form of competition and business opportunity. \u201cI have no doubt that, within 10-20 years, esports will be one of the biggest sports in the world, if not the biggest,\u201d Bendtner is quoted by Dust2.dk as saying. \u201cIt would be stupid of me not to go in and invest in it in a relatively early process where you can still be involved without having to spend really, really big money.\u201d In 2018, Bendtner posted an Instagram story of him watching an IEM Katowice CS:GO match between FaZe Clan and Fnatic. \u201cCS on DR3,\u201d he wrote, referencing the Danish TV channel that was broadcasting the series.
