Roster Overhaul and Expectations

This roster overhaul follows a disappointing season where Liquid failed to qualify for the Copenhagen Major and struggled to secure trophies.

The addition of jks and ultimate, along with the leadership of Twistzz as the IGL, is expected to bring fresh energy and strategic depth to the team.

jks has been out of the competitive scene since November, but his return is highly anticipated. In a recent statement, he expressed his eagerness to compete at the top level again. With jks and ultimate, Liquid now has a diverse lineup that includes players from North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, allowing them flexibility in qualification for major events.

The CS community has shown mixed reactions to the new roster. Some analysts are excited about the potential of this new lineup, while others are cautiously optimistic. Twistzz’s transition to the IGL role is particularly noteworthy, as he has expressed confidence in his ability to lead the team.

The BLAST Premier Fall Groups will be the first major test for this revamped roster. The event will take place in Copenhagen from July 29 to August 4, featuring 16 top-tier teams.
