Team Liquid didn’t start as a pitch to investors.
It wasn’t hatched in the mind of a marketing executive or designed to sell ads.capture a valuable advertising demographic.
It didn’t have any sponsors, hoodies or a team-specific hashtag.
No, Team Liquid started as a group of StarCraft players trying to improve - and to share that drive to improve with others.
Over 20 years of history, some of its fans became players. And eventually, some of its players became owners.
But the team never lost the things that had made it unique. And it held on to the people who had helped it evolve - even as the entire esports landscape shifted dramatically.
There’s no other story like it in esports.
This is the Story of Team Liquid.

Team Liquid is probably number one in terms of contribution to the esports community. As a big fan of Starcraft 2, I can't imagine this game without them and how much they did for it. Truly amazing guys!

@yankees2864 Год назад

One of Team Liquids biggest impacts in esports has to be Liquipedia, it’s so helpful, and as someone who constantly writes on it for Smash, it’s so easy and useful!

dont know why but liquid always gives me these close family vibes! thats why I love them so much compared to other clans/orgs.

@gdbluefirre6749 Год назад

liquid is the north american version of G2 imo. I feel like they feel like 2 big families where you can both participate in the actions of both the players and coaches and it gives me joy to know that my 2 favourite teams are so nice to be apart off compared to other orgs.

The first esport I watched was Pubg back in 2017 and that’s when I picked Liquid as my team. Since then I’ve gotten to enjoy their numerous victories in Pubg, Smash bros, rocket league, Rainbow 6 Seige and especially the incredible run of Liquid CSGO in 2019. It’s been too fun supporting this org, from the bottom of my heart “Let’s Go Liquid!”

@TheJamesawesome Год назад

I became a fan of liquid because of there valorant team in 2021 and I have to say with things like liquid + to discord servers to the streams there players produce it really is like a close knit family such good vibes I went from sort of supporting a team I liked to a full blown liquid fan!

Another great episode. "The Story Of.." is really the reason I sub to this channel. Really hoping soon for an episode about Navi. Surprised that theScore esports still haven't released one yet, given the organization's history, reputation, and place in esports. I do believe it will be out in the future, and it's going to be a banger as always.

As someone who peeked into esports through FaZe's black ops 3 team- and then fully got into it once an introduction montage of their FaZe csgo team was posted (the g2 buyout)- it's cool to see other orgs' stories as I thought they were sort of NPC teams that just grew through placings which led to higher funding and financial worth. Aside from FaZe, I thought OpTic were the only orgs that seemed to have a family-like connection with their fans which led to them growing over time. Im not really into the old esports games but it's cool to see how, even back then, the esports scene still grew and contributed to what it is today

@nonformalis Год назад

I know it's off-topic and late, nonetheless where is a video about DOTA major and incredible OG's run? You've created great content about LoL, CS, Valorant but not DOTA.

@LanceVanceDance214 Год назад

Sadly, none of them are "DOTA guys" I know Dimitri follows the scene but he mainly covers FPS like CS and R6. It's sad that Dota doesn't get a lot of coverage in this channel especially this year where there is so much hype and drama from each region. OG winning the major with a bunch of youngsters and a retired Ceb, Tundra with their unorthodox drafts. NA Dota steadily growing with TSM entering the scene and a new team, Nouns currently on top. SA dota who performed very well in the last major. CIS with the VP/Pure drama and thei region's current DPC tour where 3 CIS giants (VP, Navi, Spirit) and 1 talented and upcoming team (BetBoom) are in a 4 way tie for the 3 major slots So much hype but rarely gets content from this page. Hope they can get someone to cover dota.

@amplesstratleholm7609 Год назад

Just blabbering here. Could it be that Liquid offering part-owner status to their current legends is a response to Kuroky leaving and making his own team back on 2019? I have a feeling that may have a hand in it. I'd imagine that Kuroky would have a greater impact on the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) scene if he's still partnered with the Liquid org instead of Galaxy Racer.
