🤝 Team Liquid Signs Former Dota 2 Rivals Ace & tOfu!
In a massive post-TI roster shuffle, Team Liquid has secured two players who were previously the face of their greatest rival, Gaimin Gladiators (GG).

New Roster Additions: Marcus ‘Ace‘ Hoelgaard (Offlaner, taking over for SabeRLight-) and Erik ‘tOfu‘ Engel (Position 5 Support, taking over for Insania) have joined Liquid.

The Rivalry: Ace and tOfu were central figures on the GG roster that achieved a legendary streak, defeating Liquid in six major finals between 2022 and 2024, including three consecutive Dota 2 Majors in 2023. Ace noted the move felt "pretty strange" given their history.

Offseason Changes: The move follows a turbulent offseason for Liquid, which saw the retirement of veteran captain Insania and the departure of SabeRLight- (on loan to AVULUS).

Upcoming Debut: The revamped Liquid roster will make its debut at BLAST Slam IV, set to run from October 14 to November 11, with a $1 million prize pool.
