Team Liquid joins the ranks of esports organizations partnering with The Scholars, with Gen.G, another global esports brand, set to present the 'Global Impact of The Year Award' in recognition of those supporting the growth of the collegiate esports industry.

Michael Ashford, CEO of the Esports Awards, expressed, "The Good in Gaming Award stands as a symbol of our collective commitment to celebrate and honor the outstanding efforts and contributions of those fostering a more diverse and inclusive gaming community."
