Game On: How Esports Giant Team Liquid is Leveling Up its Data Storage With Walrus
Esports organizations like Team Liquid manage enormous volumes of data, including match footage, behind-the-scenes content, and brand assets, totaling hundreds of terabytes stored on physical drives across global locations. This fragmented storage caused issues with access, collaboration, and data security. To address these challenges, Team Liquid migrated about 250TB of its content to Walrus, a decentralized, onchain-compatible data storage platform. This transition enables faster access, improved organization, and global collaboration while eliminating single points of failure and reducing operational friction. The new system also integrates with blockchain environments, providing future-proofed, verifiable, and auditable storage, as well as support for new use cases like interactive fan experiences. Advanced features, such as AI-powered metadata tagging via Zarklab tools, make it easier for the organization to search, manage, and share its content securely. This upgrade positions Team Liquid to scale its operations, create new forms of content engagement, and safely preserve its digital history for long-term use and monetization, reflecting a broader industry shift to robust, flexible data management solutions.
