Building with Liquid: The visionaries behind the Alienware Training Facility

Like so many stories in the Netherlands, it began on a train. A Dutch architect took a seat on his way home. He was a fresh graduate, still wearing his nametag from the networking event he had just left. Marcel Schakenraad, Partnership Manager at Team Liquid, was sat across from him and noticed. Schakenraad quipped a joke which got the two to talking. As he prepared to go into the song and dance of explaining what esports was, the architect replied: “I know what esports is.” The architect knew another architect who had, the year before, completed her graduation project by designing a conceptual esports hub for Fnatic.
