When they built the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center in Eagan, the Wilf family touted the Vikings' new practice facility as the penultimate goal of sorts in their ownership of the team, with the final objective being a world championship.

WISE Ventures, the Manhattan-based investment fund the Wilfs launched last year, announced Monday it will field a team in Activision Blizzard's upcoming Call of Duty e-sports league, to be based in the Viking Lakes development in Eagan.
