Summary

At the start of 2024 Team Liquid's lineup of YEKINDAR, NAF, skullz, Twistzz and cadiaN seemed to be a winner. A few months in rumblings began that IGL cadiaN was on his way out and fans were surprised... and a little bit shocked. Fast forward to the player break: cadiaN is gone, skullz is heading to FURIA and coach zews has been let go as well. YNk joins @Thooorin and I to talk about what went wrong at Liquid and how (more like if) they can fix this before the next Major... or if fans need to wait another year to see their team rise up again. 0:00 Introduction with YNk and the Team Liquid conversation 01:50 Why we loved the Liquid line up 06:25 cadiaN's villain to hero to villain arcs 12:04 Where does cadiaN go from here? 18:14 Liquid's team building pre-season 19:29 Is Liquid's management to blame? 27:21 Was skullz the wrong pick up? 33:09 How to coach super star Counter-Strike players 40:55 The partnership and working relationship of IGL & coach as well as team hierarchy 45:07 Thorin explains the internal workings of Team Liquid 48:36 nitr0 returns to CS2 52:23 Twistzz as an IGL 56:30 The Liquid roster moving forward 58:05 America RMRs spot 01:00:18 +s1mple +jks Follow YNk on X: http://www.x.com/YNk Follow Thorin on X: http://www.x.com/thorin Find me on the socials: Blog - http://www.techgirlblog.com Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/techgirlza Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/techgirlza Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/techgirlza Twitch - http://www.twitch.tv/techgirlza Discord - https://discord.gg/SKvCd82nv4 TikTok - http://www.tiktok.com/@TechGirlZA My gear: - Canon EOS M50 Mark ii - My PC: Z590-GUNDAM (Wi-Fi) Motherboard, ROG Strix RTX3080 Graphics Card, PSU ROG Strix 850G GUNDAM edition, Intel Core i7-10700 Processor & ROG Strix Helios GUNDAM edition case. - ROG Strix XG27AQV Gaming Monitor - TUF Gaming VG27VH1B
