Team Liquid, a multinational esports organization, has announced a collaboration with manga publisher Viz Media to introduce a merchandise collection inspired by the popular anime series Death Note. The collection, which includes a variety of items such as hoodies, t-shirts, hats, keycaps, and mouse mats, is set to be released on April 12th. This line of merchandise is a testament to the growing intersection between esports and popular culture, particularly anime and manga fandoms.

The Death Note-themed collection is part of Team Liquid’s broader strategy to engage with its fanbase through culturally relevant partnerships. The merchandise features designs themed around the show’s main characters, including Ryuk, and offers keycaps compatible with most standard keyboard sizes. This initiative follows other recent esports and anime partnerships, highlighting a trend where stakeholders in the esports industry leverage the shared interests of its audiences.
