The North American squad is on the verge of adding another European to the roster.

    Where were you when NA was kill

    But I do wonder what prompted Liquid to get rid of basically their only selling point (majority NA roster)

      I assume they came to the conclusion that NA just doesn’t have good options for players?

      But at the same time I don’t think Patsi and Rainwaker are necessarily the answer - but I could be wrong, of course, haven’t followed them very closely. But someone like Yekindar at least was clearly a star level player, even if he hasn’t always shown that in Liquid.

      I imagine it was more of a case that either Elige wanted out or Liquid wanted Elige gone, doesn’t really matter which as he’s been dropping for a while now, and there just wasn’t any NA talent to replace Nitr0 and Elige.

    Oh man, this sucks as an NA fan. Feels like Yekindar is pulling a leaf out of the book of LeGM. Patsi is a good player in a slump but he plays a lot of the same roles as Yekindar does. Rainwaker admittedly I don’t know much about but I don’t know if he was worth moving to EU for.

    Honestly, shocked that Osee survived the roster shuffle. I guess Liquid would have to give up all of their HLTV/ESL ranking points if they switched out a third member, so I’m guessing it’s sink or swim for Osee at Blast/Cologne.
