Team Liquid is currently undergoing a significant overhaul of its CS2 roster, but it will not include the addition of Brazilian star Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato. In an interview with HLTV on November 15, KSCERATO revealed that Liquid had extended an invitation to him, but he declined, expressing his commitment to FURIA due to his affection for the team, organization, and the people associated with it.
The ongoing CS2 roster changes across various teams, including Heroic, FaZe Clan, and Vitality, are creating substantial content. Team Liquid appears to be one of the major beneficiaries of this roster shuffle, despite not securing KSCERATO. The team has initiated a comprehensive overhaul, starting with its coach, and is rumored to be acquiring cadiaN, a prominent in-game leader and skilled AWPer. Additionally, reports suggest the signing of Twistzz, the most decorated player in North America. The team is also said to be adding the young Brazilian talent Felipe “skullz” Medeiros while retaining YEKINDAR and NAF. Although missing out on KSCERATO, who has consistently ranked among HLTV’s top 20 players for three consecutive years, is a setback, the reported accumulation of talent helps mitigate the impact.
Team Liquid is sparing no expenses in its pursuit of success in CS2. The assembled roster, as per reports, comes at a significant cost, and the team is likely aiming for swift success. With the firepower it has reportedly gathered, victories should come quickly. If this formidable team fails to bring glory back to North America, it raises questions about who else could achieve that feat.
