Fortunately, the times when eSports were a niche are over. Gaming houses, trainers, team psychologists, etc. are now firmly established. The well-known eSports Team Liquid go one step further and open up Team Liquid Head Quarter -TLHQ. For 1.1 million US dollars, an extensive building complex is being built in Los Angeles to accommodate all eSports teams.

The offices and training rooms will be built on 9,000 m². There will be meeting rooms for the individual teams, for example to analyze their opponents. Practice rooms for CS: GO, as well as for that League of League LCS team, plus a training room for the new LoL Academy team.
The Liquid team owns "1UP" production team for videos about your eSportspeople, you get a complete studio with everything you need.

Separation of work and private
In contrast to the usual gaming houses in the scene, the Liquid team members will have their own apartments near the headquarters. So far, the teams have mostly lived in one house, have to share rooms and accordingly spend 24 hours a day together. This often led to unnecessary tension, also with regard to housekeeping, order and nutrition. Nobody would expect the entire Bayern Munich soccer team to live in one house.
Thus, the Team Liquid players have their own apartments with a cleaning service, so that they can concentrate completely on the sport and have the separation of work and private life.
The team doesn't have to worry about funding. With sponsors from the world of American professional sports and the $ 10 million win from DOTA 2 The International 2017, Liquid can dare to make such investments.
