Outside of its professional gaming endeavours, Team Liquid hosts the most-visited ''StarCraft''-related website in the world (TeamLiquid.net); both Ken and KoreanDJ actually had registered and used the forums prior to joining Team Liquid. Since then, it has opened its own ''Smash'' forums and has also added ''Smash'' to its wiki, Liquipedia, which already includes sections for ''StarCraft II'', ''StarCraft: Brood War'', ''DotA 2'' and ''Hearthstone: Heroes of WarCraft''.
