The Alienware Training Facility is Steve’s statement of intent.

Steve really wants to win it all and this facility shows the foundations he’s willing to put in place to achieve that.

I’ve been excited about the facility from the moment I heard about it; a separation between my work and personal life is something I’ve wanted for a long time.

When I first started out, I didn’t care one bit about the environment I was in – I barely even cared about how much I was getting paid at the time – my life was just about playing the game.

At 26, I’m now one of the oldest players in the NA LCS and the older you get, the more responsibilities you take on in your life outside of just playing League of Legends 24/7. In esports, it seems that we’re still figuring out what the best environment is to work and improve in.

Sure, a lot of organizations and team owners say: ‘oh, we’ll do everything to win’, but that’s not enough, you have to show it in your actions, you have to work towards it – it’s one of the things I really like about Steve and Team Liquid.
