Liquipedia, as the name suggests, is an online encyclopedia that saves information for more than 30 games and esports games. Founded in 2006, Liquipedia is the world’s largest esports database.

“OVHcloud’s approach is different – rooted in better performance and reliability through excellent uptime; burstable bandwidth capabilities that allow us to deal with immense traffic peaks; superior DDoS protection that’s critical in absorbing and fighting against cyberattacks; and lower total cost of ownership considering the unlimited bandwidth and bare-metal servers that we rely on to service millions of gamers and developers worldwide”

Liquipedia is a favorite source of information for esports fans. The new partnership with a known cloud computing provider will allow the website to scale faster and be more stable while doing it.
