Whoever is making roster decisions for Liquid CSGO teams needs to be replaced. Switching NAF for Elige didn't work. Switching a2z for daps is backfiring. Nazgul needs to take the reigns from liquid112 and clean house.

Rose-colored glasses.
EliGE has been doing better than NAF. a2z hasn't been officially announced as daps' replacement so nothing is set in stone there. daps' calling is worse than adreN's anyway even though adreN's T-side calling is horrid.

Naf was never the problem though. It was the shotcalling and daps. I dunno why they waited so long to make the appropriate changes.
They are SO bad at T side it's kinda hard to see how they qualified for FaceIT. I used to think they lost so badly on MIrage since they faced Fnatic but now I know it's because they just suck overall on Mirage T sides.
Maps like this make me think Hiko was right , these guys are far too comfortable and far too shit at their jobs since they got picked up by a big organization.

NAF was still never at a sufficient level. For someone who wasn't IGLing he played horrible. EliGE gives them the better shot at doing something.

Well that's why adreN's IGLing although he hasn't even had a week yet to acclimate. At this point you either hope adreN adapts and improves or bring on someone else to IGL, but there aren't many good IGLs in NA.
Fuck this , I'm gonna sleep earlier. They are just gonna get mollywhopped by LG later too.
This team is going nowhere with Adren as shotcaller. I've never such horrible T side rounds and shit retakes from one of the premier esports organization in the world. This is pretty much just dragging Liquid's name through the mud.

Only hades would be poachable probably.
Adren has been IGL'ing before FaceIT LAN (Dustmouret confirmed in his video.). They really need a better IGL or a good coach (warden is a shit player/coach)

adren confirmed himself at Faceit that he only became IGL one day before the LAN. The only other time adren was IGL it was a short stint in the beginning and then he decided to focus on his AWPing.

adreN can generally frag and clutch well enough when he's not calling. Really all they need is a good IGL and this team will go places.

This team is not going anywhere. They simply aren't fraggers except for nitr0. No IGL alive is going to fix a team that can't kill anyone. For real, nitr0 is the only player somewhat worth keeping, maybe elige on a good day. There is a reason adren retired from csgo in the first year after its release, and bringing him back was a mistake from the getgo. Don't even get me started on daps. This team is doing more harm to the liquid brand than good.

I agree , they have 3 insane fraggers in Elige , Fugly and Nitro and Adren is a decent awper (NA Smithzz). I'm really confused with this A2Z pickup , what's his role in the team?

Uhm, have you been watching Liquid? Their best player has been FugLy in most games, nitr0 in others. EliGE not really ever but they're using him wrong (that's an IGL thing).

Not really sure. Maybe they're hoping he'll bring some experience to the team? He's been around the NA scene for a while though not for any top teams.

Honestly, no I don't watch them anymore, I learned my lesson since when I had my hopes up int he beginning. I like adren, he is a good guy, he just isnt fit for the level of play that is needed for a top 10 team. And now I see they kicked daps. Thank god. Thats a start I guess, but best bet is to blow the whole team up and build one from scratch. Liquid really dropped the ball when hiko and skadoodle were available.

There's constructive criticism and then there's hate posts like yours. Fugly has been outperforming Nitro for the past 2 months. Nitro and Elige have already shown that they're beasts on LAN and Daps isn't even on the team.
Adren when he's not shotcalling is a pretty decent awper.

I hate to post this here but , How Much?
I don't play csgo anymore nor have I ever bet a single skin so you can save it. They didn't want to join because they didnt want to play with this team as it stands now. Hiko knows better than anyone that adren has no place on this roster. He has been crushing adren since the game was released.
Please show me a single csgo roster under contract for a major esports org with results as dismal as liquid's that hasn't already been blown up. There is none. Its not hate its truth.

Hiko didn't want to join Liquid because he dislikes the organization for whatever reason. Hiko, Skadoodle, adreN nitr0 and FugLy was actually a thing during the shuffle until Ska went to C9. If Hiko actually wanted to join Liquid the team woulda happened.
But yeah, I have my reservations about adreN like you guys. His ceiling is not as high as nitr0's/FugLy's/EliGE's but really he's the best and most experienced AWPer available atm and he has shown some crazy clutch potential if nothing else.
But we have a strong core. Just missing an IGL. The question is: who's good and available? In NA the best available is probably hades. If we looked to EU... I don't know who'd be poachable.
Edit: And while we've been discussing this Liquid is back 10-13. :o

Hiko wanted Adren + Fugly + nitro for his team but Hiko knows Adren has no place on this roster? Do you even think before you type ? You are a hate poster , posting just for the sake of bashing the team instead of any constructive criticism. Also just so you don't spew this shit somewhere else , Hiko didn't join Liquid because he had a problem with the Org , not the players.Even then , liquid made an offer for Skadoodle but he chose C9.
Anyways , I hope Liquid wins against LG tonight but it seems highly unlikely considering their T sides. Everyone on that team knows what they have to fix but somehow they do the same mistake again and again. Still very interested to see what A2Z brings to the team.
So, Adren shotcalling seems to have improved. Anyone think flowsick is worse than a2z? Man whoever is making these roster decisions need to be fired lol.

I think you watch these games with your eyes closed TBH. They've improved massively since last night and the only difference is flowsick on that team. Do you think that's a coincidence ?
He's played better than a2z individually and they've played better as a team. Man whoever allowed you on a pc needs to take your privileges away.

They improved because of adren's shot calling imo. He's getting comfortable as an igl. Liquid's rotations and movement was way better than yesterday.
I haven't bet on csgl in like 6 months (and barely did even then) but Liquid at 16%? what the lol. I was trying to put something on it but was too late.
that c9 vs lunatik game 1 was hilarious. fReakazoid p-90 pushing through their own smoke to finish the game was a good sample on how the rest of the game went lol.
They are already qualilfied for CEVO so they aren't really giving strats away and just having fun before going on their busy LAN lineup soon if someone was wondering.
