He mentioned that he joined the team not only because of the organization, but also because of the opportunity to play with legends like Twistzzzz. In the interview jks also emphasized the importance of Mareks "YEKINDAR" Gaļinskis, who due to his experience as an IGL and aggressive player, has an important place in the new team.
Successes and challenges at the tournament
At BLAST Premier Fall Groups Team Liquid has already shown great results, defeating Virtus.pro and NAVI. Now the team awaits their next opponent in the Group D finals. Jks admitted that despite his desire to show the best result in front of the Cologne crowd, he doesn't expect to repeat last year's success, when he managed to win the whole tournament with G2 team.
Expert opinion and future prospects
Comparing Liquid to the champion G2 squad, jks noted the difference in play styles, emphasizing that in Liquid all players share the burden of frags and the game is more team-oriented. Jks also mentioned that he may have previously been in Apeks under Torbjørn "mithR" Nyborg, which adds interest to his current situation, as mithR is coaching Liquid's roster.
Final Thoughts
To summarize his thoughts, jks expressed confidence in the potential of the team and especially the young player who is just starting his career with Liquid. He emphasized that the young player has every chance to become great if he continues to work hard and doesn't put too much pressure on himself. Overall, Team Liquid is preparing for new challenges and is optimistic about the future at the BLAST Fall Groups 2024 tournament.
