Team Liquid told us this weekend of his desire to export himself to MMO games and more particularly on World of Warcraft. It is in particular by signing the limit guild, one of the most powerful in Blizzard’s game, which TL is trying to put a foot in the esports scene of the famous MMO. If anyone can lead Liquid to victory in an MMO, it is undoubtedly Limit, entrusts the Dutch structure. The team is ready to support them no matter what.
The Limit guild is made up of absolute legends and is still World of Warcraft’s first raid guild
After almost a year of collaboration, we couldn’t be more stoked to enter the world of MMOs as Limit – the best PvE team in the world – becomes @liquidguild

When Limit was with the Complexity organization for the past three years, they went by the name Complexity Limit. This time they should pass 100% under Liquid branding, even dropping the Limit name. This decision was made mainly because the guild leader, Max “Maximum” Smith, and incidentally captain of the team, arrives at Team Liquid as co-owner of the structure. The result is therefore a complete merger of the two entities.
Alongside Complexity, Limit had had a brilliant run, winning two Race to World First titles in 2020, then securing a second-place finish last summer. In January 2020, Limit becomes the first North American team winning a Race to World First event on World of Warcraft since 2012.
The new World of Warcraft raid, “The Sepulcher of the First Ones” will arrive later this year, although no date has been communicated. The new team of Team Liquid will obviously participate in the race but also stream their attempt on the organization’s Twitch channel.
Team Liquid also intends to invest outside of PvE since the structure has announced a future desire to participate in PvP events on World of Warcraft, despite no official roster yet. The structure will not stop at World of Warcraft since it has expressed its will to export to other MMOs, such as Final Fantasy XIV or the future MMO from Riot Games.
“The contract is specifically long to obviously capitalize on WoW, but also watching other MMOs, and certainly – without making a transition – being very involved in Riot’s MMO” declares Maximum on his Twitch channel in relation to the acquisition of their guild by Liquid. It only remains to see what this will hold for the future of the esports MMO scene.
