Reports: Liquid makes big change ahead of BLAST Showdown

According to an exclusive report by Dust2.us, released late on October 1, 2023, Liquid are going to head into BLAST Premier Fall Showdown Americas 2023 without their main roster.

The report states that according to Alexey 'OverDrive' Birukov, Liquid will be replacing Rainwaker with daps for the tournament with the former moved to the bench. Rainwaker, who joined the team earlier this year, as they went European, has failed to make an impact on the big stage and Liquid have struggled to find any form or consistency. The Bulgarian will be replaced by Liquid's head coach daps, who will also take over the in-game leader (IGL) role from YEKINDAR, freeing up the rifler.

The report states that while Rainwaker hasn't been removed from the team yet, the team are evaluating the option. Rainwaker joined the team earlier this year and replaced nitr0 on the team, and along with Rainwaker, Liquid also signed Patsi.

Liquid kick off their BLAST Showdown campaign against Forsaken on October 5, 2023.

If the report is true, Liquid's lineup at the BLAST Showdown will be the following:

• YEKINDAR

• NAF

• daps

• oSee

• Patsi
