According to HLTV, the North American CS2 team is considering the possibility of benching one of their newest additions, cadiaN. However, the report notes that the decision won’t be made until IEM Dallas 2024, which, if it goes ahead, could be the Dane’s final event under the Liquid banner. The news quickly spread on social media, with fans expressing their anger.
"You gotta be kidding… so possibly bench the IGL and awper," one Liquid fan said on Reddit. And they're not alone in their opinion. Others pointed out that giving such a lineup enough time was crucial. "I can't say I understand getting rid of cadiaN. I've always thought that this is effectively a brand new team and patience is key, and that we've seen some encouraging improvements lately," another fan added. "Jesus christ, fuck this team," another wrote.
They’re not wrong about improvements. Liquid had a terrible start to the year and their new journey with this roster, as they failed to qualify for the PGL Copenhagen CS2 Major. They also failed to achieve any success at BLAST Premier Spring Groups and Showdown. However, the roster has improved recently, reaching the quarterfinals at IEM Chengdu 2024 and ESL Pro League Season 19.
