Team Liquid
Team Liquid is one of the most successful and recognizable esports organizations in the world, founded in the Netherlands in 2000 as a StarCraft: Brood War team. Originally a small clan, the organization quickly grew into a powerhouse across multiple gaming titles.

Team Liquid has won multiple LCS championships in League of Legends, including a historic four-peat from 2019 to 2022, making them the winningest team in NA LCS history. Their success extends beyond League of Legends to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, where they've claimed major titles including the Intel Grand Slam and multiple international championships.

They've been home to legendary players like Doublelift, CoreJJ, and NAF, and have consistently fielded competitive teams across various titles. The organization's commitment to excellence is evident in their state-of-the-art training facilities and comprehensive support staff.
Beyond competitive success, Team Liquid has built a strong brand identity and community presence. They've partnered with major sponsors like Alienware, Monster Energy, and VISA, and have expanded their reach through content creation and streaming. The organization's influence extends to being one of the most-visited esports websites globally, with their news platform providing coverage across multiple gaming titles.
