ec1s removed from Team Liquid's active roster

Team Liquid have announced that Adam "ec1s" Eccles will be moved to an inactive status with the team.

ec1s has played a number of supportive roles, including Omen and Breach, for the team since they began as a core in VALORANT’s beta. He also served as the team’s In-Game Leader, if not for all of Fish123/Team Liquid’s time in VALORANT then certainly for some. Throughout all his time with the team, he helped them to 2nd place in the WePlay! VALORANT Invitational, third place in Allied Esports Odyssey, an appearance in the First Strike Europe Regional Final, and most recently, a 2nd place finish in the Red Bull Home Ground Red Bull Home Ground - #1 - Main Event. However, with the team’s results slipping lately, as they only made top 8 in VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - Europe - Challengers 1 and failed to reach even the play-ins for Challengers 2, changes were inevitable. ec1s has posted stats of 184 ACS and 0.94 KD throughout his recorded VALORANT games.

While Team Liquid have not announced a replacement, a recent report by George Geddes for Daily Esports suggests that former CS:GO pro Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen is under consideration for the spot. Throughout his CS time, Jamppi was known as a highly skilled player that was hampered by a VAC Ban, keeping him off some of the top teams.

Team Liquid are now:

James “Kryptix” Affleck Travis “L1NK” Mendoza Dom “soulcas” Sulcas Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom

Adam “ec1s” Eccles (Benched)

Connor “Sliggy” Blomfield (Coach)
