Randy "nanonoko" Lew Joins Team Liquid
Esports organisation, Team Liquid, recently welcomed Team PokerStars pro Randy "nanonoko" Lew to their team.
Lew joined the team while attending Dreamhack Winter 2016 last week, which is a big Swedish computer festival.
This means Lew is now the second Team PokerStars player to be sponsored by both a poker site (PokerStars) and an eSports Team - Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier joined the team last year as a Hearthstone pro.
Here is what Lew had to say after joining Team Liquid:
I started playing video games competitively with the fighting game community through 'Marvel vs Capcom 2' and transitioned into playing poker full-time. Poker was a natural fit as I had the right mindset to figure out how to beat my opponents and the drive to put in the hard work and dedication necessary to be one of the best. Hearthstone has many similarities to poker in that it’s a turn based card game where you are trying to figure out your opponent’s moves so you can optimize your turn. I think my experience in poker will allow me to learn quickly and fulfill my desire to be one of the best in Hearthstone. As a member of Team PokerStars, I’m honored to be back in the esports competitive scene playing Hearthstone as a part of Team Liquid.
