History

The website was founded in 2006, [1] originally to educate people on the best builds in StarCraft: Brood War . [4]

The website expanded to League of Legends in 2017. [4] In 2022, OVHcloud partnered with the website, providing it with cloud servers to run on. [1] An app version of the encyclopedia was also released in October of that year. [5] In 2023, it expanded to regular sports through Formula One, after noticing the large overlap between fans of the sport and esports. Liquipedia plans on furthering its reach to more traditional sports. [3] In 2024, it began hosting the Dota 2 wiki, after its move from Fandom. This was the first general gaming wiki on the website, away from esports. Liquipedia said that they were "open to hosting more gaming wikis in the future." [6] [7]
