Putting together the puzzle: Team Liquid’s rocky return to the Worlds stage

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.

Yet there was one more unforeseen
