Scott Harrison’s journey into the world of professional gaming began in 2015 when he and fellow gaming enthusiasts formed a guild centered around “World of Warcraft.” Initially, they played casually, establishing bonds without the pressure of competition. However, as the guild gained traction, they transitioned to formal tournaments, leading to their acquisition by Team Liquid in 2022.
The rise and fall of the esports industry has seen significant financial fluctuations. In 2022, the U.S. esports market was valued at approximately $4.8 billion. However, by 2025, many esports companies, especially in Los Angeles, faced closures. Survivors like Team Liquid and M80 are now focusing on sustainable business practices over relying solely on investor funding.
Team Liquid has worked to become a leading organization in esports, with multiple teams across various games and state-of-the-art training facilities. Co-CEOs Steve Arhancet and Victor Goossens prioritize building a legacy through consistent success and revenue generation while maintaining an authentic connection to the gaming community. Harrison emphasizes a shared passion for gaming as a driving force behind the organization’s direction.
