Team Liquid and Intel have invited esports and tech fans to join them at the League of Legends Worlds 2024 takeover at Intel’s first Team Liquid pop-up store in London.
Adorned with screens from floor to ceiling and the latest Intel equipment, visitors to the store this weekend will be able to meet esports pro players, streamers, and actor and ‘Sex Education’ star Asa Butterfield, who will be streaming with Nihachu.
Intel is the first tenant of Future Stores’ pop-up store on 95 Oxford Street, London, where the tech company will be showcasing AI technology. From Friday November 1st to Sunday 3rd 2024, Team Liquid will takeover the store as part of the League of Legends Worlds Championship.
Visitors will get a chance to play against Liquid’s esports players, win prizes and grab some Team Liquid merch to take home, including licensed Star Wars jackets and Team Liquid jerseys.
Liquid and Intel also held a networking drinks event on the evening of November 1st too, with streamers, players and personalities in attendance, including thebausffs, Miaowiee, Spearshot, Yinsu, Broxah, Midbeast, Nihachu, Liquid League of Legends players including the likes of APA, management and more.
It all comes after Intel hosted an IEM Rio watch party in Manchester with Esports News UK.
North American side Team Liquid competed at Worlds this year, exiting in the Swiss stage in Berlin. You can see our Worlds 2024 interview with Team Liquid’s APA and FlyQuest’s Massu here, and our interview with a family that travelled across the world to support Team Liquid at Worlds.
