Biography[edit]

Steve "LiQuiD112" Arhancet was the founder of Team XXX. He was an active member of team XXX in the competitive multiplayer Civilization IV. Eventually, LiQuiD's focus switched to League of Legends, where he played competitively as a support player throughout Season 1 and Season 2. Though no longer on the main roster for Curse, LiQuiD112 now manages the team, as well as oversees all eSports operations at Curse Inc.

Steve started his professional life with an interest in the financial world. He dedicated himself to finance for 1 year before he found a valuable opportunity as an Independent Wealth Management Advisor for American Express where he worked for nearly 5 years. After working with over 110 clients and processing over 57 million dollars in assets and coverage, Steve took a higher position as a Director of Consultant Services for MBO partners where he worked for 6 years.

After 12 years in the financial industry, Steve found his opportunity to apply his skill to the eSports world in August of 2011. He gained the position of "Director of Esports" at Curse Inc after his League of Legends team (Under the sponsorship of Unrestricted Esports) was signed by Curse, where he primarily manages the North American eSports teams.

In January 2015, Team Curse merged with Team Liquid, and Steve became the co-owner of the organization alongside Victor "Nazgul" Goossens.
