Canadian CS star Russell "Twistzz" Van Dulken has reached a verbal agreement with Team Liquid to return to the team where he made his name.
Judging by the report of the Dust2.us portal, huge changes are being prepared in Liquid, most of the negotiations have been finalized orally and only a paper signature is waiting. The first rumor that surfaced for Liquid was that they were close to bringing in former Heroic leader, Casper "cadiaN" Moller, who was choosing between Ninjas in Pajamas and Liquid and ended up choosing Team USA.
In the meantime, it was revealed that FaZe Clan is being sold to a company that already has a CS2 team - Complexity, which is why the fate of the team is uncertain despite the fact that they just won IEM Sydney 2023, the first major CS2 LAN event.
It looks like offers for FaZe players have taken off in a big way, and according to Dust2.us, Twistzz is personally mulling over Vitality and returning to Liquid.
Let us remind you that he joined Team Liquid in April 2017, and at the beginning of 2021 he decided to move to Europe and join the FaZe Clan team. This turned out to be a career move for him, as he won his first Major title with them and became only the sixth player from the NA region to win the biggest trophy, as well as his second Intel Grand Slam award.
Rumors about the transfer were further fueled by Twistzz himself with his enigmatic tweet.
The team should be completed by the great Brazilian talent Felipe "skullz" Medeiros, who is interested in many teams, and the new team coach Wilton "zews" Prado will come from Brazil.
This means that Liquid would once again be the majority team from the NA region and would once again play in the qualifiers for the next Major. Once again, if all deals go through the final signing process, the new Team Liquid will:
Kaeith "NAF" Markowitz
Mareks "YEKINDAR" Galinskis
Casper "cadiaN" Moller
Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken
Felipe "skullz" Medeiros
Wilton "zews" Prado - Trainer
