René Romann is a huge fan of esports outfit Team Liquid and says following his favorite organization has provided respite during such difficult times. "Like [how] other people check the newspapers, it's more for me that I check what they [Team Liquid] are doing. Keeping those fans engaged is paramount for an organization like Team Liquid, which says its supporters are at the heart of everything it does. "I think it's good that other esports teams are thinking about it in this way, and I think it will overall help the esports ecosystem," he says. Being able to provide this "virtual stadium" will also help esports stay ahead of the curve in terms of more traditional sports, says Arhancet.
