In a groundbreaking move for esports fan engagement, Team Liquid has launched its innovative MyBlue platform on the Sui blockchain. According to the Sui Foundation, this new platform will allow fans to engage with their team through a unique digital experience.
Enhancing fan engagement
MyBlue offers fans the opportunity to win a custom avatar of Blue, the Team Liquid mascot, which can be customized with digital items earned by completing quests. These avatars and accessories will be stored on the Sui blockchain, ensuring fans have true ownership of their digital journey with their team.
Team Liquid’s Esports Legacy
Founded in 2000, Team Liquid is a powerhouse in esports, competing in major titles such as League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, VALORANT, and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. The MyBlue platform aims to bridge the gap between the global esports community and Team Liquid and foster closer connections between fans around the world.
Innovative features and rewards
The MyBlue platform leverages Sui’s advanced technology to provide fans with a rewarding experience. Fans can complete quests, earn items, and compete on leaderboards with items serving as digital collectibles and exclusive prize tickets. Prizes include signed jerseys, partner perks, and unique experiences such as attendance at esports events.
Sui’s role in the fan experience
Built on Sui, MyBlue emphasizes a user-friendly experience, especially for fans new to blockchain and Web3. The platform uses Sui’s zkLogin to allow fans to create accounts with familiar credentials like Google or Twitch. Sponsorship transactions also allow fans to transparently obtain avatars and items without requiring in-depth blockchain knowledge.
With MyBlue, Team Liquid not only improves fan engagement, but sets a new standard for how esports teams connect with their communities through blockchain technology.
