Team Liquid makes CS:GO move to Europe official with EliGE departure

As the CS:GO era comes to an end, Team Liquid has officially entered their own new Counter-Strike era today, moving on from long-standing North American player Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski and signing two new players today that confirm the team’s switch to competing in Europe.

Joining the roster in place of EliGE and the already departed, recently retired Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella are two new European additions in Bulgarian rifler Aleks “⁠Rainwaker⁠” Petrov from 500, and Russian rifler Robert “Patsi” Isyanov from Team Spirit. Between the two of them and full-time in-game leader YEKINDAR, Liquid will operate as a European roster and compete in the European RMRs going forward in CS2. The official roster moves confirm the reported ones from earlier this week.
