steelega in for Stanislaw
November 13 2017
We would like to announce that we have signed Lucas "steelega" Lopes from Immortals. He will be replacing Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz as our permanent fifth player starting at IEM Oakland this week.
steel is a talented and experienced player who accomplished much during his time on Immortals. As the team's leader, steel helped his team to a silver medal at the Krakow Major among other achievements. He is a well-respected figure in Counter-Strike and a consummate professional, and he will add both firepower and leadership to our squad. We hope that this change will propel us further and give us more tools to compete against the best teams in the world.
"Steel is the most professional player I know. His positive attitude and skillset fit our needs perfectly and we are excited with what's ahead of us."
"Feliz demais em ter o leguinha no Liquid! Ele vai trazer toda raça e garra Brasileira e espero que todos continuem torcendo por nós!!"

A Game of Superlatives With the Rocket League Team
The Liquid Rocket League players all have different talents, in and out of the game. One player might counter their opponents the best and be the friendliest to fans, whereas someone else might work the hardest, or make his teammates laugh the most. To figure out who excels at what, we played a game of superlatives. We asked the squad to pick who on the team is the best passer, communicator, LANimal, cook, banterer, and much more!.
