The last string that held Team Liquid together broke. The multi-time LCS champion team committed millions of dollars this past November, signing two high-profile free agents and renewing its mid laner to one of the biggest extensions in the league—and now, it looked all for naught.  It had already been a rough June for Liquid. One of those stars, top laner Alphari, got benched amid behavioral issues early in the month, and the other, Santorin, played through debilitating migraines and needed time to recover. Yet there was one more unforeseen

With news that the fifth season of the league will kick off in April 2022 on an early build of Overwatch 2, teams are now looking to build rosters worthy of taking on the Dragons next year. Unfortunately for most fans, this means it’s time for the most difficult part of the year: the offseason “rosterpocalypse.” Because Overwatch 2 runs on a five-vs-five competitive
