PUBG Roster Update: Jeemzz, Sambty, and Ibiza join
January 22 2018
After holding open tryouts over the holiday season, we've finalized our lineup for the upcoming Auzom Premier League Season 2 and beyond. Keiron "Scoom" Prescott returns as our team captain, and he will be joined by Jim Gunnar "Jeemzz" Eliassen, Samu "Sambty" Kauppinen, and Jord "Ibiza" van Geldere.
I joined Liquid back in August 2017, and being part of Team Liquid has been amazing. The org is super supportive and encouraging, wanting just the best for the players and pushing us to succeed in this game. I feel extremely excited about the future of this team. With Ibiza, Jeemzz & Sambty joining, we might have one of the strongest rosters on an individual level. The guys were star players from their previous teams which they also had a lot of success with. So I feel super confident that with this roster we are gonna take PUBG by storm.

Jim Gunnar "Jeemzz" Eliassen
Jeemzz is an AK-wielding entry-fragger who has spent time atop the EU leaderboards. He joins us as a brief stint on PENTA, and despite being fairly new to professional gaming, Jeemzz has an outstanding history in the games he has played. He showed immediate promise in PUBG, scoring 8 kills in his very first match. Aggressive yet versatile, the only thing that can stop him is sharks — a fear that causes him to avoid taking a swim, even in-game!

"Really looking forward to joining Team Liquid, and I'm really happy to get the offer to do so. This is a really talented line-up that could become the best PUBG team in the world."
Samu "Sambty" Kauppinen
In the support role, Sambty's calculated play holds the team together. With a knack for competitive gaming that once led him to Challenger ranking in League of Legends, the Finnish pro already touts a successful history in professional PUBG. Most recently, during his time on Tempo Storm, Sambty and his team placed second at IEM Oakland. Despite this success, Sambty wants to achieve even greater things with his new team.

Jord "Ibiza" van Geldere
Formerly of Kinguin, Ibiza is a fragger that balances out Jeemzz' aggression and Sambty's methodical play. The M4 expert has been dedicated to PUBG since early access, and he has made a name for himself as one of Europe's best players since breaking out onto the scene. Make sure to follow him on Twitch as he streams his exploits daily.

"It's a sick opportunity and I feel really strong about the team."
We would like to express our gratitude to Hayz, Molnman and Ollywood for representing Team Liquid in PUBG's debut as an esport. Hayz and Ollywood have found new homes, while Molnman is open to offers.
