The Philadelphia 76ers bought Dignitas' league of legends team last year. There are lots of other instances popping up with owners/part owners investing in e-sports in the US as well, but not the official organizations as far as I know.
In Europe its happening a bit more frequently to see well known soccer orgs purchasing e-sports teams and branding them the same as their sports organizations. There is an "FC Schalke 04" in European LCS for example.
