Team Liquid Rumored to Acquire RUSH and mixwell from OpTic Gaming
It seems that Team Liquid is in talks to bring on Will “RUSH” Wierzba and Oscar “mixwell” Cañellas from OpTic Gaming, as reported by Jarek “DeKay” Lewis. This potential roster change adds to the recent shakeups within OpTic.
OpTic Gaming Facing Roster Changes
OpTic Gaming has been experiencing some changes lately, with players like Peter “stanislaw” Jarguz leaving and Spencer “Hiko” Martin joining on a trial basis before ultimately departing. Now, RUSH and mixwell could be following stanislaw to Hiko’s former team.
Roster Swap Details
According to DeKay’s report, RUSH and mixwell would join Team Liquid in exchange for Jacob “Pimp” Winneche and Josh “jdm64” Marzano being transferred to OpTic Gaming. This surprising move comes just weeks after stanislaw left OpTic to join Liquid. It appears that the situation became untenable for several team members, leading to RUSH and mixwell’s decision to part ways.
New Players Joining All-Star Lineup
Replacing players like jdm and Pimp on Team Liquid might seem unexpected, as they both hold crucial roles. However, Liquid has chosen to make changes and replace two players from their all-star lineup that was initially formed in July. Many people would have speculated that players like ELiGE or nitr0 might be the ones to leave, but that is not the case.
It is worth considering how coach Luis “Peacemaker” Tadeu will handle these roster changes, as he has had difficulties with roster adjustments in the past.
