TL Look To Sign Russian Roster

#1

Team Liquid is currently evaluating roster changes for its Valorant division, with plans to build around established stars Nats and Trexx.

The core lineup moving forward is expected to feature:

Nats – Sentinel / In-Game Leader
Trexx – Initiator

Ongoing trials and scouting efforts have included:

Kr1stal – Flex
Demon1 – Controller
Purp0 – Flex / Duelist

Additional targets under consideration may join the roster pending the resolution of contractual and competitive obligations:

Chronicle – Flex (contract with Fnatic concluding after Champions)
Vo0kashu – Controller / Duelist (currently with DRG; subject to results of the Ascension tournament)

if im liquid im looking at something not purp0. it would be exactly like the kamo situation again, hope for him to succeed after a while. would just be a big waste of time. liquid i think has enough pull to get something also, if they make a good enough roster, around nats and trexx it could entice something to join.

can demon1 even speak russian?

Demon1 probably speaks minimal Russian but the rest can definitely speak in English so Demon1 would get mostly English comms

I mean I'm assuming the post says they want all russian players so that they feel the most comfortable and speak their language.

nah. not in this meta atleast. i dont think chronicle is possible, i did see something back in 2023/24 rostermania that nAts wanted to make a team with Leo, and Chronicle. But, liquid said it would cost too much iirc that is. (was at the time when liquid picked up mistic, enzo, and keiko) (apparently chronicle and leo were down for that aswell)

Yes, my point being; qn org kicking a pllauer doesn't prove anything in terms of how good the player in question is

they can always just drop him mid season if it doesnt work out and sign some random t2 duelist talent
everyone can speak english anyway so I doubt there will be issues if they move to an english roster

then why hand him a contract? i'd much rather they sign kolosha or GSR. they're actually sneakily good, and could prolly be more beneficial than the failed experiment that is purp0

purp0 hahaha, we just be forgetting about his repeated failures in t1 because he farmed shitters like hyp, enzo and keloqz
