A New Team Liquid Loyalty Platform
As you know, Team Liquid is an international eSports organization that cooperates with many industry influencers and companies. Recently, it announced a multi-year agreement with web3 Mysten Labs to develop its own Sui blockchain platform.
In fact, Team Liquid’s loyalty platform has been around for a while and has been running successfully. However, recent changes were essential in order to support Sui.
What is currently known about this innovation? To get started, you can visit the Team Liquid fan site and see the updated scoring system. Using special points, program participants can receive tempting rewards. What’s more, after recent changes, you have the option to change the avatar and personalize it as the Team Liquid Blue mascot.
However, the deal between companies will go even deeper. For example, the plan is to increase cooperation in the field of marketing initiatives and game support on the Sui platform. What does this mean for fans? First of all, it is about more entertainment in the form of new content, events, sponsored streams, etc.
Most likely, such an initiative will be successful and will bring multi-million dollar investments. There are enough reasons for optimism. First, Team Liquid is not a newcomer but a reputable company that has been in the market for more than 24 years and has teams in all the leading eSports titles, including Valorant and CS2.
What’s more, it has already successfully collaborated with Shikenso Analytics to optimize streaming broadcasts, including on social networks. Also, Team Liquid is not new to Web 3 and blockchain technologies. Those who follow the company know its effective cooperation with Illuvium and the Guild of Guardians.
