Just to clarify, though: 1) The brand will remain Team Liquid, right? Not aXiomatic? The intro paragraph has both listed (and aXiomatic as aXiomatic eSports) so I'm a little confused. Where does Team Liquid end and aXiomatic begin? 2) The investment group has controlling interest, but how will this be exercised? Will the regular running of the professional teams under the Liquid banner be left to Nazgul and Steve? Who handles things like, say, player contracts and salary, etc.? 3) This one's not really a concern, just curiosity. I'm sure this deal represents a greatly increased budget than before. Any big projects in the works? | ||

This is an acquisition. So congratulations (from a business point of view) are very much in order. And concerned questions too - I bet not so long from now nothing will be similar to what we see today. | ||

I see new ownership will still continue the ongoing tradition of making business announcements as obtuse as possible. But 'grats on the sale to a huge buyer (?). If that is what it is, because it's hard to tell. | ||

This is the link that has way more info on who the new owners are http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160927006174/en/aXiomatic-Acquires-Controlling-Interest-Team-Liquid-Leading Anyway, congrats Victor on the achievement. These really are some big fish investor (owning multiple real sports teams and more) so I wonder what they see in the future for TL. | ||

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that NBA players and personnel, seem to be the most open to eSports. I like to think that due to the fact that basket ball isn't a sport overly about strength, rather much more about skill sets allows them to value the virtual skills of pro gamers. Edit: Glad to hear that, the team will continue to be Team Liquid. Seems like the purchase would be counterproductive from a marketing standpoint if they were to change the name. The Liquid brand is already established, the hope is more investment will be able to put their players in a better position to dominate their respective games. | ||
