Leading professional eSports team, Team Liquid, have joined forces with PokerStars to hone their skills at the world’s largest poker site! Are you ready to challenge them?

The global eSports organisation is one of the most feared in the industry, and over the coming weeks and months, Team Liquid will be playing and streaming PokerStars games exclusively on Twitch.

Each player’s poker journey will be aided by fellow Team Liquid, and Team PokerStars, members Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier and Lex Veldhuis, who will keep a close eye on their progress. Watch as they get to know exciting PokerStars games like KO Poker and Spin & Go’s via each player’s Twitch channel – and don’t miss their exclusive documentary from EPT Barcelona.

Plus, as an added bonus, PokerStars and Team Liquid are giving new PokerStars players the chance to get $20 worth of free play, 1 Million free Play Money chips, and a ticket to a monthly Team Liquid home game freeroll with a $500 prize pool!
