Liquid CSGO Update

June 07 2016
Dear Liquid fans,

Rumors have been flying about the status of our Counter-Strike roster since the conclusion of our ELeague season. Today, we want to update you with the first bit of information on what the future holds for us.

We’ve decided to part ways with Eric ”adreN” Hoag. Eric has been released from his contract, and is now a free agent. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Eric through the good and the bad, and we will always remember the great moments that we had together. We genuinely hope that he will find a new place to call home in Counter-Strike very quickly.

In the past ten days, we have been working at full capacity to find Eric’s replacement and we are happy to say that we have signed a new rifler to the team. However, we are not ready to announce our new recruit at this time. We are not sure when we’ll be able to tell you guys who it is, but what we can say is that he is not going to be playing ECS Season 1 Finals with us in London, nor attend the ESL One Cologne Major as a part of our roster. It's unfortunate that he won't be on board sooner, but we know that you'll be delighted once he makes his debut.

With that said, it’s with a bit of a grin on our faces and a lot of excitement that we’re bringing s1mple and all of his cheeky shenanigans with us to London and Cologne. He'll be standing in for us during these two events, and we know the fans will be eager to see him in Liquid colors once more.

To prepare for our upcoming events, we’ll be flying to the Netherlands on June 14th to boot-camp for a week leading up to ECS in London. Following our visit to Wembley, we will immediately return to the Netherlands and train intensively for the Major. Despite the busy schedule we had around the last Major, we had always intended to do boot-camps with our team. We hope that these two boot-camps will allow us to create better structure for practice and teamwork, which will hopefully propel us to better results at both ECS and the Cologne Major.

Thanks once again for all of your support. It is deeply felt and appreciated throughout difficult periods. We hope that we will see all of the Liquid jerseys at the Major once again.
