Over $500,000 won and 309,000 Peak Viewers reached — Team Liquid stats in Rocket League
In November, the esports organization Team Liquid announced its departure from Rocket League. The club's team had been competing in tournaments since 2020 and became one of the strongest in Europe. According to Team Liquid management, the decision to leave Rocket League after 3.5 years in the discipline is related to several factors, but the main one is the current economic model of the game.
“The current ecosystem lacks the sponsorship and digital item revenue needed to let a team build off of fandom, content, and community. Despite having a successful and popular team, in a very popular esport, Rocket League provided us less revenue than esports that are smaller in size”. — Team Liquid
In 3.5 years, Team Liquid in Rocket League has accumulated over 6.7 million Hours Watched and reached 48.2K Average Viewers per match. Overall, the team has won over $500K in prize money from tournaments. Some of its top achievements include victories at the RLCS 2022-23 - Fall: EU Regional 3 - Fall Invitational and the RLCS 2022-23 - Winter: EU Regional 3 - Winter Invitational, as well as a 3-4th place at the RLCS 2022-23 - World Championship.
Team Liquid's game against Team BDS in the RLCS 2022-23 World Championship Playoffs drew the largest audience of all their Rocket League matches — 309.8K Peak Viewers. When it comes to its most significant rivalries, Team Liquid has faced off against Team Vitality the most, having 15 official matches in tournaments against each other.
The management of Team Liquid thanked the Rocket League community in an official speech and assured the supporters that the team will return to the discipline if conditions improve. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long!
