Team Liquid is raking in the green according to recent reports. As one of the busiest organizations in the business, Team Liquid has brought in a stunning $34.5 million since the team was founded 20 years ago, making them the top earner in the world. Rival team OG is not too far behind, with a total haul of $33.4 million.
With their hands in practically any game that will qualify as an esports title, Liquid’s success is a case of both quantity and quality that has earned their spot as a top earner. Since the team’s inception in 2000, Team Liquid has become one of the most prestigious esports teams in the entire world and has acquired major sponsors such as Honda, Twitch and Marvel.
The full report shows that the top-ten esports teams have made a total of $180 million since they came onto the scene. Last year alone, Team Liquid participated in 200 events that resulted in $9.4 million worth of winnings to have them edge OG in overall earnings. With their visibility at an all-time high and no indication that their teams and players are slowing down, they are in a position to continue climbing upwards as the undisputed top earners in the industry.
As it currently stands, the team is looking to win their fifth League Championship Series title in a row and will be a top contender at the 2020 Dota 2 International after finishing second to OG in the grand finals next year. Their CS:GO team also went on a tear last year, winning several ESL and Intel Extreme Masters events last season. With the debuting Call of Duty League now underway, they have another chance to pad their earnings as they take place in one of the most lucrative events in all of esports right now.
When it comes to the money race, there’s a good chance the winner of this year’s Dota 2 International will claim the top spot. When OG won last year, they brought in a $15.8 payday that put them in striking range of the top overall spot and Dota 2 is practically the only game that OG consistently performs well in.
All things considered, the message is clear that a chance to join Team Liquid or any of the top-ten teams has to be one of the most coveted positions in all of esports.
