After their unprecedented move earlier in the year to expand upon providing solely professional StarCraft coverage with their move into Dota 2 media, Team Liquid has today gone one step further, with the announcement of their very own Dota 2 team.


The brand new us Team Liquid Dota 2 squad is comprised of arguably some of the finest and most famous players in North America, with the majority being bought-out from us compLexity Gaming: captain us Brian 'FLUFFNSTUFF' Lee, ca Tyler 'TC' Cook and us Michael 'ixmike88' Ghannam. That trio are joined in their new endeavour by us Sam 'BuLba' Sosale and us Steven 'Korok' Ashworth, former stars of us Evil Geniuses and us Quantic Gaming respectively.

Team Liquid co-owner nl Victor 'Nazgul' Goossens gave a lengthy and impassionate statement regarding his new Dota 2 team, of which a choice excerpt reads:

I saw that it may be possible to get five players together who could really represent Liquid in the way I had envisioned a team under our banner, and this happened much sooner than I expected. The first player to grab our interest was BuLba. From the very beginning, Sam "BuLba" Sosale understood that forming the right team under the Liquid brand could be a huge opportunity for all of us. He followed and played SC2 and as such, he knew what we were looking for. In forming this team we have a lot to thank BuLba for, as he was there from the beginning, walking with us through the possibilities and helping us try and figure it all out. This is where we came up with the idea of forming a team with FLUFF, ixmike88, TC, and Korok.


Though the squad have already played together under the compLexity tag in the joinDOTA Masters Special Edition II last month, their competitive activity has been minimal since, and it remains to be seen when and where they will make their official debut under the Team Liquid name.

Full statements and an interview with the players can be read at Team Liquid via the link below.
