Still, I feel compelled to begin our November Review of all things Team Liquid by expressing how grateful I am to be in this community, to trace its arc across the last 20 years from an old school StarCraft forum to an international conglomerate with headquarters on three different continents, and competitive rosters in about 20 different esports. I feel lucky that the forum I shitposted on grew up to be such a monumental force in the scene. And I\u2019m thankful to see Team Liquid working hard to be a force for positive change in the industry &#8211; to strive for excellence in game, and goodness everywhere else.<\/p>\n<p> This month, Liquid\u2019s Brazilian squads both found the podium at massive international events hosted in Europe, the Rocket League team flexed their clutch muscles in the last qualification tournament before the first Major of the season, and Liquid\u2019s Counter-Strike team snatched the last spot in the BLAST World Final. And of course, the release of the new WoW expansion can mean only one thing: the Race to World First is about to begin again.<\/p>\n<p>Out of game, Liquid has had a busy month as well. Going into December, there are two player experiences over at <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/liquidplus.com\/\">Liquid+<\/a>. Brazilian League of Legends streamer Rakin is the Liquid+ Spotlight Player for the upcoming month, and <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.teamliquid.com\/news\/2022\/11\/25\/rakin-chasing-that-feeling\">his article<\/a> has already dropped! Meanwhile, Hbox is the center of another Liquid+ experience, where he\u2019ll judge fan drawings (that you can submit!) of his infamous popoffs. Liquid`LoL also hosted a tryout for North American academy talent featuring 23 up-and-coming League players homegrown on the NA server. <\/p>\n<p>In roster news, <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=si6tDKO1o4Y\">Liquid\u2019s brand new EU VALORANT roster has been announced<\/a>. Sayf, Redgar, and nAts join returning members soulcas and Jamppi on their quest for European dominance next year. You can learn more about our new players in <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.teamliquid.com\/news\/2022\/11\/11\/team-liquid-vct-2023-roster-get-to-know-the-squad\">this article<\/a>. Sadly, this means the departure of <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oUmRt4Zlgp4\">Nivera<\/a> and <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DtZyMVwWY0M\">ScreaM<\/a>, two incredible players who embodied everything that makes Team Liquid great. As they depart for the new French partner team, Karmine Corp, words cannot do justice to the impact they left on this organization. I can only be thankful that we had got the chance to see in a Liquid jersey, and watch them carry this roster out of its infancy and into the exciting new world of competitive VALORANT.<\/p>\n<p>Surely the same goes for <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gS5NTB2I8zQ\">Santorin<\/a> and <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nA36qiUm9GU\">Bjergsen<\/a>, the two Danish dynamites who recently departed our League of Legends roster. Bjergsen\u2019s career speaks for itself, and despite the heartbreaking end to last year\u2019s season, his stay at Team Liquid will forever be a chapter in his historic legacy. I\u2019ll really miss Santorin. For two years, he was an anchor in the jungle, holding Team Liquid together, and making major contributions on the rift. Through his migraine troubles in 2021, Santorin showed real grit and dedication to the team in circumstances that would have made a lot of lesser competitors quit. I hope <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LEC_Wooloo\/status\/1593453922169012224\">Santorin<\/a> and <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LEC_Wooloo\/status\/1594054029910237184\">Bjergsen<\/a> find success with their new teams.<\/p>\n<p>But that leaves the matter of Liquid\u2019s leaked LCS roster. The Cavalry has already announced that world-champion top laner <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamLiquidLoL\/status\/1593711261338017792\">Marin has joined as head coach<\/a>. The rumor is that Liquid will field a Korean-speaking team including <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LEC_Wooloo\/status\/1594934759754534913\">Summit<\/a>, CoreJJ, and two of Liquid\u2019s academy players last year &#8211; Haeri and Yeon. That leaves an unknown jungler. Some insiders have speculated that UmTi from LCK team Brion will fill that role, while others have been clawing for world champion Pyosik from the recently-disintegrated DRX team. We\u2019ll know this weekend, however, as <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamLiquidLoL\/status\/1597703851913908224\">Liquid will announce its full starting LCS roster tomorrow, this Friday at 6:00 EST<\/a>. Right after, the team will host an AMA on <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/reddit.com\/r\/teamliquid\">Team Liquid\u2019s subreddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And with that unusually long introduction, let\u2019s get back to the basics.

Although Cloud9\u2019s early departure from the tournament prevented the Cloud9\/Liquid matchup I was looking forward to, the games against Shopify Rebellion were even more exciting for SR\u2019s underdog story, and the match with G2 delivered on all fronts.<\/p>\n<p>After an opening win against FENNEL from Japan, Liquid\u2019s first match against the North American Shopify Rebellion team balances on the edge of a knife on map two. Down one map already, and facing map and series point on Bind, Liquid enters B site with a numbers advantage, but no information on Shopify\u2019s last player &#8211; Flowerful &#8211; hiding on B site. Flowerful manages to sneak around Container and into Elbow, allowing her to isolate the first fight and pick off daiki hiding in Hookah. Liquid still thinks Flowerful is in Elbow as nat1 plants, but Flowerful is really creeping around the other side of Container. She and bstrdd don\u2019t see each other as they cross. nat1 finishes the plant, giving her just enough points to use her ultimate &#8211; a seeker with 150 hp that looks like a cabbage. nat1 doesn\u2019t have enough time to pull her rifle back out after ulting before Flowerful kills her, but the seeker soaks enough damage to allow bstrdd to turn and trade nat1, winning the round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">One Cabbage to rule them all \/ One Cabbage to find them \/ One Cabbage to bring them back \/ And in the darkness Bind them.<\/p>\n<p>The Cabbage Incident, as it\u2019s now called, gave Liquid a massive momentum shift, and the Cavalry won the next three rounds in a row to win the map in overtime. The momentum lasted through the whole series too, as Liquid handily beat Shopify on the next map, Icebox.<\/p>\n<p>Things started off well against G2 as well. Liquid put up 5 unanswered rounds attacking on Ascent, and we were poised to take a 6th with G2 relegated to buying pistols. But G2 Mary had other ideas. <\/p>\n<p>Armed with Chamber\u2019s quick-scope sniper ultimate, Mary quickly finds an opening pick onto drn, then repositions for another freebie on nat1.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Top 10 moments before disaster<\/p>\n<p>Liquid manages to get the plant down, and bstrdd holds Door, waiting for Mary to peek through. bstrdd swings wide after hearing Mary running, but the G2 star still manages to decapitate Liquid\u2019s Jett player, and follow it up with another quick shot on daiki. From there the round has completely collapsed, and G2 easily defuses before naxy can even get back to the site (though Mary does finish off the ace for good measure).<\/p>\n<p>The round totally broke Liquid\u2019s mojo, and we never truly recovered from it. The Cavalry was able to string some rounds together towards the end of the map, but G2 outmaneuvered and outshot us in the end, took the map, and grinded us down 13-10 on Breeze to close out the series 2-0. We seemed to kind of lose our luster after that, and a surging Shopify Rebellion steamrolled past Liquid in the Lower Bracket Final, beating us comfortably on both Fracture and Icebox. All told, Liquid finished the inaugural Game Changers Championship as the third best team in the world, and earned an $80,000 prize in the bargain.<\/p>\n<p>Up next for Team Liquid BR are the VCT Challengers 1 open qualifiers, taking place this month. Liquid will begin the process with the second open qualifier starting tomorrow (the Squad decided to opt out of the first open tournament to get some well-earned rest). This weekend, we\u2019ll work through the 128-team single-elimination tournament, aiming for top 8 to make it to the closed qualifier. If Liquid gets there, we\u2019ll need to finish in the top 4 of that event to make it to Brazil Challengers 1, beginning next January.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Liquid\u2019s new European roster will take to the server for the first time as a group this month at Red Bull Home Ground 3. Liquid returns to the event as the defending champion from the second Home Ground Event last year. The tournament features a unique format, allowing each team to pick a \u201chome ground\u201d map. When teams face off, they\u2019ll play a game on each home ground map. If one team wins 2-0, the series is over. But if they split the maps, the series becomes a full best of 5. Last year, the Home Ground event was one leg in Liquid\u2019s historic winning streak lasting from Nivera joining the team through Liquid\u2019s fall in the semi-finals of Champions. This time, Liquid will test three new members instead of one, and against a wider field. Instead of just EMEA competitors, the field will include NA favorites 100Thieves and LATAM\u2019s KR\u00dc Esports. Home Ground sports a prize pool of $100,000, but perhaps more importantly, this event gives Liquid the chance to showcase what our new roster will look like before the VCT starts back up again next year.<\/p>\n<h3>CS:GO:<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><button data-id=\"CSGO\"><\/button><\/div>\n<div id=\"CSGO\"><\/p>\n<div><\/p>\n<h3>CS:GO \/\/ Results <\/h3>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>IEM Masters Rio Major 2022:<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u>Legend Stage &#8211; 2-3<\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>2-16 vs MOUZ on Inferno<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>16-5 vs Sprout on Inferno<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>16-14 vs Na\u2019Vi on Ancient<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>1-2 vs Heroic<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>16-10 on Inferno<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>16-11 on Ancient<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Cloud9 &#8211; 2-1[<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>16-11 on Inferno<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>13-16 on Ancient<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>16-13 on Dust II<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<li><u><b>BLAST Fall Finals:<\/b><\/u> <\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u>Groups<\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>2-0 vs G2<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>16-10 on Vertigo<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>16-14 on Mirage<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li>2-1 vs Na\u2019Vi<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>16-14 on Inferno<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>12-16 on Dust II<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>16-7 on Mirage<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<li><u>Playoffs<\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>1-2 vs Heroic<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>10-16 on Overpass<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>19-17 on Inferno<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>16-9 on Vertigo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>CS:GO \/\/ AHEAD <\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u><b>BLAST Premier: World Final 2022 &#8211; December 14-18<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Liquid`CounterStrike\u2019s November provided heartbreak, triumph, and other wildly inconsistent results. After securing our spot in the Legends Stage, Liquid headed to Rio with our eyes on winning our organization\u2019s first Major. It began poorly with a crushing 2-16 defeat to MOUZ. Liquid bounced back, comfortably beating Sprout, and winning an upset victory against S1mple\u2019s Na\u2019Vi to go up 2-1 in the Swiss System. Liquid had two chances to win a best of three to make it to the Major playoffs, and compete for the championship.<\/p>\n<p>First up, Heroic &#8211; the Danish squad led by veteran cadiaN. Liquid kept things competitive in the first half of Vertigo, but fell to pieces against Heroic\u2019s attack. The Cavalry bounced back on Mirage, completely crushing our opponents 16-5. On the decider map, Overpass, Liquid once again started slow, unable to win rounds on our Terrorist side. But we rallied in the second half, pulling our way back from the deficit, and tying the game at 11-11. Sadly, Heroic flipped a switch from there, winning the next 5 rounds in a row to put us at 2-2. Russian squad Spirit punched the final nail in our major coffin, beating us 2-1, and sending Liquid home without a playoff appearance. And it\u2019s a devastating disappointment.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HLTVorg\/status\/1590151761435987968\">HLTV.org on Twitter: &#8220;\ud83d\udc94\ud83d\ude22 When the loss is unbearable \ud83d\udcf8 @theMAKKU | #IEM <a>https:\/\/t.co\/Na0qWPdgGR&#8221;<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">EliGe here reminds us that no matter how bad it hurts as a fan to watch our team lose, it hits the players so much harder.<\/p>\n<p>Heroic also proved to be a thorn in our paw at the BLAST Fall Finals. Liquid cruised through the group stage of the event, comfortably beating G2, and once again upsetting Na\u2019Vi 2-1. Liquid earned a direct seed into the semi-finals, where we once again faced off against Heroic. And Liquid was once again unable to figure out how to beat Heroic on Vertigo and Overpass, leaving Liquid with a semi-final finish.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Liquid\u2019s group-stage performance was enough to get us to fifth on the HLTV World Rankings, and secure the Cavalry a spot in the BLAST World Finals this month. Liquid will once again be North America\u2019s sole representative in a field of 7 other European and CIS teams. Team Liquid\u2019s journey through this million dollar tournament begins with a four-team group stage on December 14th. If Liquid wins the group, they\u2019ll head directly to the semifinals. A second or third place finish earns the Squad a spot in the quarterfinals, and fourth place teams are eliminated. The groups have not yet been announced yet, but the action kicks off in two weeks. Then, a break until 2023.<\/p>\n<h3> Rainbow 6 Siege:<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><button data-id=\"R6S\"><\/button><\/div>\n<div id=\"R6S\">\n<div>\n<h3> Rainbow 6 Siege \/\/ Results <\/h3>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>Six J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping Major 2022 &#8211; 2nd!<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Group Stage &#8211; 5-1<\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>7&#215;1 vs SANDBOX on Oregon<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>7&#215;5 vs Heroic on Theme Park<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>7&#215;5 vs TSM on Border<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>7&#215;5 vs SANDBOX on Oregon<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>7&#215;2 vs Heroic on Border<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>5&#215;7 vs TSM on Villa<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li><u>Playoffs<\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>2-0 vs FaZe<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>7&#215;4 on Clubhouse<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>0x7 on Skyscraper<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li>2-3 vs BDS<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>1&#215;7 on Theme Park<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>7&#215;4 on Bank<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>7&#215;4 on Oregon<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>5&#215;7 on Kafe Dostoyevsky<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>4&#215;7 on Skyscraper<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<h3> Rainbow 6 Siege \/\/ Ahead <\/h3>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>Brasileir\u00e3o 2022 &#8211; Finals vs w7m &#8211; December 4 at 11:00 EST<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Liquid\u2019s Siege team has been hunting a Major victory since the system began in 2018.

In the quarterfinals, we snatched a close overtime win against FaZe on the first map, and blew them out of the server on the second. Liquid took revenge against w7m for Copa Elite Six in the semifinals, overcoming an 0x7 loss in map 2 to grind out another overtime win to make it to the finals. There, we faced French team BDS. Once again, Liquid came back from a 1&#215;7 stomp in game one to comfortably win the next two maps of the best of 5. Kafe Dostoyevsky was as close as it gets, with the teams trading blows round by round, handing the lead back and forth until it was all tied up at 5&#215;5. Liquid was unable to hold on, however, and dropped the next two rounds to bring the series to one final map. BDS had our number on Skyscraper, winning the first half 5&#215;1. Though the Cavalry made an effort to come back, we were simply too far behind, and BDS took the series and the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Liquid has only one more competitive game to play this year &#8211; the grand final of Brasileir\u00e3o, the Brazilian regional tournament. Liquid already prevailed over Team oNe in our semifinal match all the way back in mid-October. The tournament took a break for Copa Elite Six and the Major, but the conclusion of Liquid\u2019s year will take place this Sunday at 11:00 EST.

The action begins Friday, December 16th, starting bright and early at 3:00 am EST.<\/p>\n<h3>Rocket League:<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><button data-id=\"RKTL\"><\/button><\/div>\n<div id=\"RKTL\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Rocket League \/\/ Results:<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>RLCS 2022-23 &#8211; Fall: Europe Regional 3 &#8211; Fall Invitational &#8211; 1st!!<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u>Swiss Stage &#8211; 3-2<\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>1-3 vs G1<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>3-0 vs Aogiri<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>3-0 vs Quadrant<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>2-3 vs Oxygen<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>3-0 vs BDS<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li><u>Playoffs<\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>4-1 vs Vitality<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>4-1 vs EG<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>4-2 vs Karmine Corp<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p><\/ul>\n<h3>Rocket League \/\/ Ahead:<\/h3>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>RLCS 2022-23 &#8211; Fall Split Major &#8211; December 8-11<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Going into the final Major qualifier, Liquid was in an extremely tight race with several other teams. Three of Europe\u2019s five slots at the Rotterdam Major were already gone, leaving only two left for six or so teams that could qualify. With only one tournament left to earn qualification points, the heat was on for Liquid to step up during the Fall Invitational.<\/p>\n<p>And boy oh boy did the Cavalry deliver. Not only did Liquid secure a spot at the Major this month, they won the whole frickin\u2019 tournament! Liquid struggled to make it through the initial swiss system, losing their opening match to another Major hopeful &#8211; G1. The team won the next two matches, but fell in a close 2-3 against Oxygen, leaving Team Liquid with just one more chance to make the playoffs. With the pressure of elimination at our backs, Liquid delivered a 3-0 walloping of BDS, securing our spot in the playoffs, and keeping our Major hopes alive.<\/p>\n<p>After the dust settled in the Swiss rounds, Liquid had only four competitors left for a major spot: Williams Resolve, G1, EG, and Vitality. As luck would have it, Liquid drew Vitality in the first round of playoffs. Their 4-1 routing of the French team narrowed their competition even further, and EG beat Williams Resolve. All this meant that a win against EG would essentially lock Liquid into the major. But Liquid didn\u2019t stop at beating EG. Liquid went into the finals against Karmine Corp and beat the top seed at the Major 4-2, winning the tournament to boot. Liquid\u2019s spoils guaranteed the Cavalry\u2019s spot in the major, and included a $30,000 prize as well.<\/p>\n<p>Next weekend, Liquid`CarSoccer heads to the stadium Rotterdam Ahoy to battle it out against 15 of the best teams in the world. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.jpg\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">For the record, &#8220;Rotterdam Ahoy&#8221; is the funniest name for a stadium I&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>The Major, just like the qualifiers, begins with a Swiss round, requiring each team to win 3 series to advance to the single-elimination playoffs. Liquid\u2019s first swiss opponent will be Team Secret from Brazil. They\u2019ll battle it out over three days for a share of the $310,000, and a pile of the qualification points used to determine invitations to the $2 million Rocket League World Championship next August.<\/p>\n<h3>StarCraft II: <\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><button data-id=\"SC2\"><\/button><\/div>\n<div id=\"SC2\"><\/p>\n<div><\/p>\n<h3>StarCraft II \/\/ Results:<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>World Team League 2022 Winter &#8211; 3-5<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>3-4 vs Onsyde<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>4-2 vs CranKy<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>2-4 vs KaiZi<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li><u><b>DH SC2 Masters 2022 Atlanta<\/b><\/u>:<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Clem &#8211; Top 16<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Elazer &#8211; Top 16<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Kelazhur &#8211; Top 32<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>MaNa &#8211; Top 40<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li><u><b>WardiTV Team Liquid Map Contest Tournament 9<\/b><\/u>:<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Clem &#8211; Top 12<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Kelazhur &#8211; Top 16<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>MaNa &#8211; Top 16<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Elazer &#8211; Top 20<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li><u><b>AfreecaTV Champions Cup<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Clem &#8211; 3rd<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Elzazer &#8211; Top 12<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li><u><b>HomeStory Cup 22 Qualifiers:<\/b><\/u>:<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Kelazhur in LATAM &#8211; Qualified!<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Elazer in EU &#8211; DNQ<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>MaNa in EU &#8211; DNQ<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li><u><b>WardiTV 2022:<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>MaNa: 3-2<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>0-2 vs Trigger<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>3-2 vs Elazer<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>3-2 vs Krystianer<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li>Elazer: 0-2<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>0-2 vs Krystianer<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>2-3 vs MaNa<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p><\/ul>\n<h3>StarCraft II \/\/ Ahead:<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>World Team League 2022 Winter<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>iG &#8211; December 3 at 9:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>SSLT &#8211; December 11 at 7:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>PSIS &#8211; December 24 at 9:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<li><u><b> Clem, Kelazhur, and MaNa in WardiTV 2022 &#8211; December 6-11 <\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Group Stage &#8211; December 6-8 starting at 7:00 EST each day<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Playoffs &#8211; December 9-11<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Quarterfinals &#8211; December 9th at 7:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Semifinals &#8211; December 10th at 7:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Finals &#8211; December 11th at 9:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<li><u><b> HomeStory Cup XXII &#8211; December 15-18 <\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Clem<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Kelazhur<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Although Clem was the only member of Team Liquid to qualify directly to the main event of DreamHack, the rest of Team Liquid still met up in Atlanta to test themselves against the open tournament. So for Kelazhur, MaNa, and Elazer, the road to the top of the tournament was long and brutal. Their journeys began in the first round of group stages, where each successfully finished in the the top 2 of their 4-player group to advance to the cleverly-named Group Stage # 2. Things got dicey for a moment as MaNa and Elazer were placed in the same group, but after Elazer overcome MaNa to advance in the first seed, MaNa was able to beat down Polish Terran Spirit to advance as well. Kelazhur was also able to take second place in his group behind Korean Protoss Creator, who made the finals of GSL Code S back in May.<\/p>\n<p>With their successes in the two preliminary group stages, Kelazhur, MaNa, and Elazer joined Clem for the main event, starting off with\u2026 yet another group stage. Elazer and Clem managed to finish top of their group, earning a spot in the round of 16. Kelazhur and MaNa weren\u2019t so lucky, and their third and fourth place group finishes sent them to the Knockout Bracket &#8211; a sort of play-in providing players with a second chance to run through the bracket if they didn\u2019t do well in any of the three previous group stages. Their runs didn\u2019t last long, however, as both were dispatched in their first rounds of the bracket. Clem and Elazer also fell in their first rounds of playoffs. Unfortunately, Clem had to play against Bunny, who finished the tournament in 2nd place. Elazer, meanwhile, had to face herO, who went on to win the tournament. Clem and Elazer both earned $2,000 for their sweet-sixteen finishes, and a bundle of points towards qualifying to the Global Finals that are helpful for Elazer, but that Clem absolutely does not need.<\/p>\n<p>Over in the World Team League, Liquid has not improved its position much since last month. The loss to first place Onsyde was fairly predictable, as well as the win against last place CranKy. But Liquid\u2019s most recent match was against KaiZi Gaming, who had an equal record with us. Our loss to KaiZi puts us right on the cusp of qualifying for playoffs, which only takes the top 7 teams. We still have room to make up our lost ground, however. This month, Liquid should have favorable matchups against both iG and SSLT, who have been struggling. Our toughest challenge will be PSISTORM Gaming, currently in 3rd place with a 6-2 record.<\/p>\n<p>Coming up for our individual players, this week Clem, Kelazhur, and MaNa will finish off the Wardii 2022 tournament. Clem and Kelazhur qualified directly to the top 16. MaNa managed to join Liquid\u2019s Terrans after an impressive reverse-sweep against fellow-Polish Protoss Krystianer. Also ahead is the 22nd HomeStory Cup, featuring Clem and Kelazhur. Liquid\u2019s Terrans head back to Krefeld, Germany for the second HSC of the year. Clem was able to grab 2nd place at HSC 21 back in July, and he\u2019ll be hungry for revenge against Serral, who beat him in the finals.<\/p>\n<h3>Smash:<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><button data-id=\"SMASH\"><\/button><\/div>\n<div id=\"SMASH\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Smash \/\/ Results:<\/h3>\n<h3>Smash \/\/ Ahead:<\/h3>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hungrybox continued his run of excellent finishes this month, taking 4th at Summit 14, and 3rd at Apex 2022. Hbox\u2019s results this year have been truly remarkable. Over the course of 19 LANs, Juan has reached the podium 14 times, including 6 first place finishes. And the most insane thing is that the Jigglypuff GOAT has a whole new level he\u2019s working to unlock.<\/p>\n<p>Over in Ultimate, Dabuz grabbed 4th place at Apex, losing a nail biting series to Jakal 2-3 after making a heroic climb through the lower bracket after an upset loss in the upper bracket quarterfinals. Additionally, Riddles won Path to Glory, a $37,000 tournament in Regina, Saskatchewan that somehow went under the radar. His most notable win was against Ouch!? &#8211; a humorously named Wolf main who is one of Canada\u2019s best players.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4.jpg\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">I don&#8217;t get it, why didn&#8217;t MKLeo want to come here?<\/p>\n<p>On the horizon this month for Liquid`Smash, there are three massive tournaments coming up. Dabuz, Atelier, Riddles, and Hbox will all compete at Mainstage 2022 in Ontario, California this weekend. Then, over the two following weeks, Hungrybox, Riddles, and Dabuz will head first to San Antonio, Texas for the Smash World Tour Championship, and then to Los Angeles, California for the Panda Cup Finale. Both of these latter tournaments are the culmination of a full year Smash. Each event this year has earned players qualification points towards the grand finals. And the payoff is unbelievably huge for the scene. The Smash World Tour Championship boasts an unheard of prize pool of more than $250,000 (a little over $125,000 each for Melee and Ultimate). The Panda Cup Finale brings a more modest $100,000 between the Melee and Ultimate to the table. Still, both events will bring the absolute best Smash out of every player attending, so get ready for back-to-back-to-back banger tournaments unlike anything the scene has ever seen before.<\/p>\n<h3>Apex Legends:<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><button data-id=\"apex\"><\/button><\/div>\n<div id=\"apex\"><\/p>\n<div><\/p>\n<h3>Apex Legends \/\/ Results:<\/h3>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>ALGS 2022-23: Split 1 Pro League &#8211; 74 points<\/b><\/u>:<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Day 1 &#8211; 3rd (18 points)<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Day 2 &#8211; 3rd (18 points)<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Day 4 &#8211; 7th (13 points)<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Day 5 &#8211; 1st (25 points)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Apex Legends \/\/ Ahead:<\/h3>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><u><b>ALGS 2022-23: Split 1 Pro League<\/b><\/u>:<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Day 7 &#8211; December 4 at 17:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Day 8 &#8211; December 11 at 17:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Final &#8211; December 18 at 17:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last month, I cavalierly declared that Liquid`Apex is still alive and well, and I guess technically, that\u2019s still true. But co-CEO <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiQuiD112\/status\/1591546229015842816\">Liquid`Steve clarified the organization\u2019s relationship with the game:<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"quotation\">It\u2019s not complicated: I love Apex Legends. Team Liquid loves Apex Legends. We want to support the game\u2019s creators and community. We want to re-enter competitive Apex, but right now, the ecosystem isn\u2019t sustainable enough for that. When it is, we\u2019ll be there. I want to thank our roster [hodsic] [Nocturnal] [Fun] and [sSikezz] for their effort and representation. We will continue to support and cheer for them until they find a new home. This roster is truly something special, and it&#8217;s heartbreaking to have to let them move on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Steve\u2019s tweets come off the back of an announcement that Liquid has signed Rogue as an Apex streamer and content creator. The signing itself lends a weight of credibility to Liquid\u2019s love for Apex that Steve\u2019s words alone wouldn\u2019t be able to muster.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the dead team walking fights in the ALGS under the Cavalry\u2019s banner, and their first four days of competition have yielded exceptional results. Over the first four days of competition, Liquid have won two maps, and placed second in four more. This has put us in 1st place after four of our six rounds of competition. The ALGS awards points to teams based on how well they do over the course of six maps on each day. Liquid\u2019s consistent results on each day earned the team 18 points each on the first two days for being the third best team on the day, 13 points for their 7th place finish on their third day of competition, and 25 for their first place finish on their fourth appearance. This last day shot Liquid ahead of TSM to take 1st place in the standings so far.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next month, Liquid will face off one more time against both of the other groups. If we maintain our form and finish in the top 20, we\u2019ll play in the Regional Final match on December 18th. A top 10 finish there qualifies Liquid to the Split 1 playoff, an international tournament with a date and location to be determined.<\/p>\n<h3> Teamfight Tactics:<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><button data-id=\"TFT\"><\/button><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"TFT\">\n<div>\n<h3> Teamfight Tactics \/\/ Results<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3> Teamfight Tactics \/\/ Ahead:<\/h3>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This month spelled the end to another season of TFT, and for the first time since the very first championship, Liquid wasn\u2019t able to qualify to Worlds. During the North America regional finals, both Kurum and robin survived the first two days of competition to make it to the final lobby, but both fell short, placing fifth and seventh respectively. Kurum\u2019s fifth place finish earned him a spot in the last chance qualifier, but six games later, he was once again on the outside looking in, finishing the event in sixth place when he needed a top two to make Worlds.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Worlds qualification process didn\u2019t go as planned, the new season of competitive TFT will begin this month with a brand new set. Summit (the tournament organizer, not Liquid`LoL\u2019s unconfirmed new top laner) and RIOT have teamed up to launch a <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/en-us\/news\/esports\/tft-summit-monsters-attack\/\">pre-season TFT tournament<\/a> featuring 24 professional players and streamers in North America, including both Kurum and robin. Liquid\u2019s TFTers will battle it out for a share of a $25,000 prize pool at an actual real-live LAN event, maybe the first ever for TFT. The tournament is using what they\u2019re calling \u201ca unique solo-duo teams format using composite scoring.\u201d It\u2019s not exactly clear what this means, but we know that Liquid`TFT will enter a grudging alliance with TSM for this event. Kurumx has been paired with TSM Souless, and robinsongz will compete with TSM Kiyoon.<\/p>\n<p>Much like other Summit events (read: Smash), the tournament will place a big focus on player commentary too, so be on the lookout for top-level TFT insight straight from the Horses\u2019 mouths.<\/p>\n<h3> Age of Empires IV:<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><button data-id=\"AOE\"><\/button><\/div>\n<div id=\"AOE\">\n<div>\n<h3> Age of Empires \/\/ Results <\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u><b>Winter Team Championship<\/b><\/u><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>DeMusliM in C H I M P S<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>2-0 vs FYF<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>2-1 vs A Fat Penguin<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<h3> Age of Empires \/\/ Ahead <\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><u>Winter Team Championship<\/u><\/b><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>DeMusliM in C H I M P S<\/li>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Semifinals &#8211; December 4 at 10:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Finals &#8211; December11 at 10:00 EST<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> Although DeMusliM\u2019s solo season did not end in a \u2018Ship, Liquid\u2019s AOE IV star has teamed up with Beastyqt, MarineLorD, and Serral on Team C H I M P S in the inaugural Winter Team Championship, a 2v2 and 3v3 tournament sporting a $40,000 prize pool. Through the first two days of competition last weekend, DeMusliM and Co. zoomed through the group stage, beating two Chinese Teams &#8211; FYF and A Fat Penguin &#8211; to earn first in their group and a semi-final berth. DeMusliM will play the semi this Sunday. If he and his team prevail, the grand final is December 11th.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p class=\"credits\"><b>Writer<\/b> \/\/ <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/trtioustortoise\">Tortious Tortoise<\/a>\t\t<br \/><b>Graphics<\/b> \/\/ <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shiroiusagi_\">Stacey &#8220;Shiroiusagi&#8221; Yamada<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamliquid.com\/staff\/shiroiusagi\/tlpro\/lplus\/checkin.png\" alt=\"image\" \/><br \/><a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lqd.plus\/UaH_9t\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"lqd-button\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamliquid.com\/staff\/shiroiusagi\/tlpro\/lplus\/ctxt.png\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1790723,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","type":"","auto_type":false,"post":"","stream":"","stream_url":"","waveform_data":[],"duration":0,"bpm":0,"downloadable":false,"download_url":"","purchase_title":"","purchase_url":"","post-count-all":0,"like_count":0,"download_count":0,"editor_note":"","copyright":"","captions":[]},"genre":[78],"artist":[84],"mood":[],"activity":[],"station_tag":[18744,18711,7387,18723,18119,10610,177,18710,18750,18732,3862,9445,18726,13258,18715,18719,18742,18712,18714,18729,5227,18749,19113,14112,16767,3702,18708],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station\/1790722"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/station"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1790723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1790722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=1790722"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=1790722"},{"taxonomy":"mood","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mood?post=1790722"},{"taxonomy":"activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity?post=1790722"},{"taxonomy":"station_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station_tag?post=1790722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
