Welcome, Midbeast!

December 05 2017

The off-season has been quite an eventful time for League of Legends, but we're not just busy on the pro team side. We've also been scouting talents that offer more than high level play, and we're stoked to announce that Drew "Midbeast" Timbs has joined the Team Liquid family as a streamer and content creator!

Midbeast is a familiar name to fans in the OCE region, and his 1-year old Youtube channel is starting to become known to fans across the globe. By combining articulate and concise explanations with a solid foundation in the game, Midbeast has developed an audience that wants to learn — and fast.


Midbeast’s claim to fame is his Challenger in 3 Minute series, teaching players at all levels the essential fundamentals to specific champions in only 3 minutes. Midbeast’s philosophy is to keep his content short and sweet, making the most of his viewer's time without added filler and fluff content. A former national swimmer, Midbeast took the summer of 2011 to recover from an injury and decided to play video games to pass the time. He created a League of Legends account called Drewbeast, falling in love with mid lane, thus creating a smurf called Midbeast. In his first ranked season in 2013, Midbeast climbed from Bronze to Diamond, then hit challenger the season after and has retained challenger every season since. He debuted in Australia’s top league, the OPL, in 2015, having breakout performances on Leblanc and Twisted Fate. Midbeast continued to play in the OPL every year since, while completing a dual degree in Marketing and Journalism at the University of Queensland. Midbeast travelled to Korea earlier this year, staying with LCK team Ever8 Winners, reaching Master tier in SoloQ and playing with countless LPL and LCK pros.

  The Liquid Review - March 2023 If you asked a Team Liquid fan how the Cavalry did in February, you’d get drastically different answers depending on what games they follow. A CS:GO fan might give you a cautiously optimistic take that Liquid is a solidly top-ten team and a dark horse to win any tournament we go to. On the other hand, a League fan might be frustrated that we’ve failed to close out a lot of winnable games, and a little worried about our chances at making playoffs. Or you could ask a deliriously happy DotA fan, who would tell you with complete confidence that Team Liquid is the best team in the world, destined to win the Lima Major.
  The Black Roots of the Fighting Game Community Despite how diverse gaming is, there's no denying that in most esports, there's a real lack of Black titles. Most titles, but not the Fighting Game Community - or FGC for short. The world of fighting games is much more diverse than most esports - and not only more Black, but more influenced by Black culture,athletes, and talent. Why is that? De'Angelo Epps asked community figures Majin Obama, Salt, and Professor High Kick to find out - and to find out the areas where the FGC still needs a little work.
