FalleN on Liquid's IGL status: We may return to Stewie2K as the main-caller
Are we seeing another IGL shift on the iconic NA team?
The star-studded North-Americans from Liquid has not been up to their usual top levels throughout the last 12 months, with Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo and company presenting one disappointing tournament after another.
A tough period that started after their win at ESL Pro League Season 11 NA in April 2020, where they afterwards lost their in-game leader Nicholas "nitr0" Cannella to the rival FPS shooter Valorant. A move, which meant a rather significant reshuffle within the team, as Stewie2K took over the IGL position.
The former SK and Luminosity icon joined Liquid in January this year
Something the profiled rifler continued to do so until February this year, where FalleN obtained the leader role from "Jake "Stewie2K" Yip. The rotation worked out fine in the beginning, showing a glimpse of promise. – However, it may look like another change is on the way.
In a post-match interview with the cs_summit desk, FalleN hints towards an IGL-shift on the Liquid roster, as the Brazilian AWPer states that Stewie2K has been the main-caller for some time now – With great success, FalleN explains.
Liquid has not only made some role changes within the team, but they have also re-signed their former head coach Eric "adreN" Hoag. In the interview, FalleN also touches on the impact of the signing of adreN and what that will mean for the team.
Liquid is at the moment competing at the vital Major Qualifier of cs_summit 8, where FalleN and the rest of Liquid has fought their way through to the playoff stages.
