The news first came to light through a report by Jarek “DeKay” Lewis<\/a>, which claimed Team Liquid were looking for a change following average results in 2020. The rumour said about removing nitr0 with 19-year old Grim, who had an exceptional past few months in another team, Triumph.<\/p>\n

Nitr0 stepping down from the roster came as a bit of a shock to Counter-Strike’s community, as he was the longest-standing player in Team Liquid, playing with the team since 2015.<\/p>\n

This year’s achievements however have been far below the expectations set by the squad, especially following their successful 2019 when Team Liquid won several S-Tier tournaments, as well as Intel Grand Slam season 2 in a record-breaking time frame of 63 days.<\/p>\n

    In the past few months, Team Liquid failed to raise a single cup. Poor form and no signs of improvement from the squad were warning signs for fans, which pointed to a possible roster change.<\/p>\n

    Shortly after the report went public, the organisation confirmed the rumours in response to Rush B Media. In response, Team Liquid stated the change is indeed true, and Grim will be starting for the team at DreamHack next weekend.<\/p>\n
