Esports Giant Team Liquid Taps Walrus to Future-Proof 250TB of Match Footage and Brand Content
The move unlocks new fan experience and content monetization opportunities.
Team Liquid, the most successful organization in esports history, today announced a major migration of content to Walrus. The collaboration sees the largest single dataset entrusted to the protocol to date, transitioning years of match footage, behind-the-scenes clips, and other beloved Team Liquid content from physical storage to the highly performant, decentralized data layer.
The move creates immediate efficiencies for Team Liquid: streamlining data access for its global team, removing silos, eliminating single points of failure, and future-proofing the organization’s core data infrastructure.
By entrusting Walrus with its vast library of multimedia content, Team Liquid transforms its archive from static files into onchain-compatible assets. This provides Team Liquid with the optionality to leverage the Sui Stack for future novel use cases, such as granting access to never-before-seen content or opening up new monetization opportunities, without ever needing to migrate the data again.
Team Liquid’s 250TB migration marks another milestone moment for Walrus, driving total data stored to new highs. It is further proof that Walrus is engineered for the world’s biggest stages, capable of handling enterprise-scale data and meeting the performance requirements of major global organizations.
Rebecca Simmonds, Managing Executive of the Walrus Foundation, commented on the announcement: “This partnership is about what becomes possible with data beyond storage. For Team Liquid, moving content to Walrus provides a foundation that’s reliable at scale, fast to work with across teams, and flexible enough to support new ways of using and monetising content over time, without needing to move or rebuild data as new use cases emerge. That’s becoming essential for organizations whose data is meant to both last and be actively leveraged.”
“Team Liquid is a global organization and we frequently have multiple people around the world producing content. This presents challenges in managing massive amounts of data that is siloed on physical drives across our facilities and teams,” said Claire Hungate, Team Liquid President and Chief Operating Officer. “Collaborating with Walrus not only makes our content easily accessible and secure, but makes it usable as an asset. This critical infrastructure upgrade ensures our most valuable footage and memories are preserved, while giving us the technical platform to explore new ways to engage our most important stakeholders: the fans.”
Team Liquid will execute this migration through Zarklab, utilizing its specialized UX and UI features, such as AI meta-tagging. This allows internal teams to expedite file searches across multiple drives and locations. This long-term, configurable access to the archive unlocks Team Liquid’s content for easier use in documentaries and legacy campaigns, while enabling granular access control for the organization.
