It's Liquid`Sjowtime!
April 20 2015
I'm very excited to announce that Jeffrey" Sjow" Brusi will be joining Liquid as part of our Hearthstone team, effective immediately.
Those of you who have been fans of Liquid since our StarCraft roots will be no strangers to Sjow, one of the top Europeans throughout his entire StarCraft II career. As a testament to his skill in all games, he remains the only player in the world to hold both a StarCraft and Hearthstone championship. And who could forget one of the most exciting moments in all of Starcraft history, the match when he upset current world champion Life?
Sjow's dominance in Blizzard games precedes StarCraft, however. Though most Sjow fans are aware of his SC2 history, very few are aware of his background in Warcraft III (and even fewer are aware of my involvement in Warcraft). Back in the day, as predominately a 2v2 player myself, I was a huge fan of the once best 2v2 Warcraft III team in the world, Sjow and Delicato. Even 10 years ago, Sjow was excelling at the game he chose as I'm sure he will also continue to excel in Hearthstone.
Through some coincidence Sjow and I have taken the same path through esports, from Warcraft III to StarCraft II, finally landing on Hearthstone as a part of TeamLiquid. In that way, I feel a special connection with Sjow and I'm sure that together as a team we can accomplish great things. Welcome, Liquid`Sjow.

Words from the Hearthstone team
"I'm very glad that Sjow is with us now! He's a cool guy who's always helping me with viewers:D. Also I used to watch his stream and learned a lot about Control Warrior back in the days. Now that we are sharing knowledge about Hearthstone, TL will become even stronger!"
-Liquid`Neirea
"I'm very excited to have Sjow on the team. I feel like Sjow is the perfect fit for TL. He's not only good at the game, but also a very nice guy."

A word from SjoW
"I'm really happy to join Liquid and represent their brand. Coming from a Starcraft background I know how Teamliquid operates and how much the brand have grown over the past years. I also know Victor and Robin from my sc2 days and I've only seen and heard good thing about the people in TL and the team. I am mainly a competitor in Hearthstone and having teammates such as Savjz and Neirea will take me to the next level. My goal is to win a premier event this year and with the help of TL I'm sure I will reach it!"
