PokerStars Sponsor Team Liquid; Kevin Martin Joins Online Roster; SCOOP Gets Even Bigger

PokerStars has entered into a sponsorship agreement with eSports outfit Team Liquid that will see the eSports stars introduce the PokerStars brand to their live stream audience on Twitch; Canadian Kevin Martin joins PokerStars Pro Online; and the world’s largest ever Spring Championships of Online Poker just got even bigger.

PokerStars are an official sponsor of eSports outfit Team Liquid.

The pair has struck a deal that will see various members of Team Liquid introduce the PokerStars brand during their live streams on Twitch. It’s the perfect opportunity for Stars to cross-pollinate their suite of games to eSports fans who might never have played the game before.

Three members of Team Liquid will wear the Stars patch. The first is Janne ‘Savjz’ Mikkonen from Finland. Savjz represents Team Liquid in professional Hearthstone tournaments and has previous poker experience.
