LIQUID HACKS 2.0 / NOVEMBER 5-13, 2021
Liquid Hacks, founded in November 2020, is Team Liquid’s annual hackathon series where gamers and hackers alike can come together to bring their own value into the esports and gaming space. We aim to redefine how people in esports explore various realms of knowledge that are out there given the tools and resources that are available. In other words, we’re hacking esports education.
We encourage everyone of all skill levels to apply. Join as a team or compete solo - we’d love to see you there. Good luck!
THEMES
TEAM LIQUID
Team Liquid is all about being the best esports org in the world, and that means smoking out the competition with new and innovative projects that keep the fans on the edge of their seats. We want to give them the opportunity to add their legacy to the Team Liquid name by creating software or hardware that shows their love for the org.
COMPETITIVE ESPORTS
Competition is the core of esports. Professional esports players are hungry for the next big win, and they’ll do whatever it takes to get it. Rally your team to build a project that could help aspiring esports pros to be at their best in their career - and stay that way.
ACCESSIBILITY
Gaming is for everyone - and we really do mean everyone. The theme of accessibility is all about changing the way that games are played - from the controller to the interface - so that more people can share the experience of gaming with their friends (and soon-to-be friends!).
EDUCATION
The classroom has changed significantly, and students are finding other ways of obtaining their education. Building technology that professors and faculty can use to engage their students will not only give a fresh perspective on the way education is taught, but also inspire a future generation to keep learning.
AGENDA
All times are Pacific Time
Every session will be livestreamed on twitch.tv/teamliquid

Participants can compete in a team of up to four (4) people. Feel free to work individually as well! Additionally, there is a #team-formation channel in our Discord server where you can find other participants with shared interests to collaborate with!
