Watching video games has never been more popular than it is now. With the rise of streaming, services like Twitch have popped up to see the best of the best gamers show off their skills to thousands upon thousands of viewers. The natural next step, of course, is esports.
If you’re somehow not familiar with esports or the concept of professional, competitive video gaming, you’re a bit behind the curve. Of those professional groups, Team Liquid is among one the most popular; the group has been around (in one form or fashion) since 2000, where it was initially a website for news around the video game Starcraft. Over the years, it expanded into esports before being eventually bought by aXiomatic Gaming. This investment group includes Golden State Warriors co-owner Peter Guber, entrepreneur, and Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, motivational speaker Tony Robbins, NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, and AOL co-founder Steve Case. Team Liquid has rosters for several high profile games, including Starcraft, Fornite, League of Legends, Super Smash Brothers, Call of Duty, and more.
