Team Liquid, a big name in esports, has welcomed Dutch EA FC club Team Gullit into its family. This move was announced on a recent Friday. It's a big step for both teams as they look to grow their impact in the gaming world.
The financial details of the deal are not shared, but its impact is huge. This partnership could change the game in EA FC esports. Team Gullit, founded by Ruud Gullit, has been respected in gaming since 2018. It's known for its success in EA FC competitions.
With Team Liquid's support, Team Gullit will keep its brand and sponsors, like Philips OneBlade. Corné Dubelaar, Team Gullit's co-founder, will step back but stay as an advisor. He believes the merger will help Team Gullit grow even more.
Several top players from Team Gullit are joining Team Liquid. They include Emre Yilmaz, European Champion Levi de Weerd, and 2023 FIFA World Champion Manuel Bachoore. This move makes Team Liquid even stronger in esports.
The partnership is about more than just joining forces. It's about starting new projects and partnerships. Team Liquid will use advanced tech from SAP to improve player skills. This tech is key in esports, where players need to be at the top of their game.
This merger comes after a successful partnership in 2024. Team Gullit's Manuel Bachoore helped Team Liquid finish second at the Esports World Cup. This shows the teams work well together, even before becoming one.
Team Liquid is growing its global presence with Team Gullit. This move shows their dedication to esports talent and innovation. Fans and players are excited for what's next in this new chapter of esports.
