It was their last chance for playoffs, and Team Liquid did not answer the call. By losing to Flyquest and Cloud9, they were unable to clinch a spot, and their LCS Spring season<\/a> essentially ends tonight (29th March). <\/p>\n

This cannot come as a shock to anyone; most expected Team Liquid to sit this out given their abysmal record this split; a fall from grace from the team that dominated and won the last four splits.<\/p>\n

Liquid have had a tough go of it since the beginning, when they were unable to fully acquire their new jungler, Mads “Broxah” Brock-Pedersen due to visa issues. They subbed in Shern “Shernfire” Cherng Tai, their new jungler for their academy team, but he did not have much time to scrim with the team and it seemed to translate to issues on the main stage. <\/p>\n

Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng also seemed to be having issues playing with Senna, a new AD Carry\/Support hybrid (that most have been playing in the AD Carry role specifically), and not too long later, suffered from laryngitis and was subbed by another academy substitute, Edward “Tactical” Ra.<\/p>\n

We gave it everything we had.<\/p>\n

This is not the team that brought you four repeat titles, but hopefully that performance showed that, with time, we can be once again.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who stuck with us through it all. We’ll see you in the summer. 💙<\/p>\n
