Team Liquid is a large eSports organization created in 2000. She appeared in the Netherlands, but now it includes representatives of many countries, and not only from Europe. The Dota 2 team appeared in 2012, did not show any special results and performed mainly in small competitions. But the last Team Liquid Dota 2 roster was able to win at The International 2017. This tournament had the largest cash prize in the history of e-sports.
Appearance on the professional stage
The team began its history in 2012. At that time, the composition of Team Liquid Dota 2 was completely different. After unsuccessful performances, the organization decided to terminate the contract with the team and refuse to participate in the discipline that was new at that time.
But the prize fund growing every year made them change their mind. In 2015, the organization signed a 5Jungz team under its name. The captain in it was already known to the entire gaming community captain KuroKy. To this day, he holds this post, while showing himself constantly from the best side.
Way to success
After creating a new team, the first performances began. And immediately everything went not so smoothly. The first failure was a loss in qualifications for participation in the Frankfurt Major.
The new squad of Team Liquid Dota 2 could not take part in the competitions of the new format, which also had good prizes.
But, despite this, the team performed well at all subsequent such events. They were able to become favorites in subsequent qualifications and take second places at Shanghai Major and Manila Major. This gave the new Team Liquid Dota 2 roster loyal fans and fame. They began to recognize and support. Fans often in the game put the team logo on the avatar and organized fan groups.
But the organization was unsatisfied with such results. The managers did not want the team to always be thought of as silver medalists. And it was decided once again to make a small castling of the players. Team Liquid Dota 2 was invited to join Bulba in 2016. But it did not bring any positive results. Moreover, the team began to play worse. In the ranks of fans began to replete with comments that the players do not fit together.
And again, the organization went to make changes. Having finally transformed the team and listening to the wishes of the captain, the squad of Team Liquid Dota 2 for 2017 has the appearance that they were able to win the championship title at the main tournament of the year - The International.
The team was invited to GH. Thanks to him and captain KuroKy, the team held good discipline and high morale. These two people had vast experience in e-sports behind them and played before in many teams. This fact and knowledge of different styles and tactics of opponents, they were able to achieve their goals.
The composition of Team Liquid Dota 2 is now the most popular. He was able to outshine with his performance even the common favorites - the OG team.
After such a victory among the players of other professional players, there was a rumor that Team Liquid almost did not train. Everyone began to think that it would be nice to defeat them in the next tournament. But the guys were not so simple. Despite the lack of constant and persistent training and the release of the update in Dota 2, which greatly changed the balance, they were able to defend their title in the StarLadder tournament.
Nobody still knows what the team’s secret is, but winning according to their own words has become much easier. Perhaps the whole thing is in the mood and atmosphere within the team, and not in the number of hours spent in training.
2017 Team Liquid Dota 2 roster
From the history of matches it is clear that the organization’s affairs did not always go well. The best results are shown by the last team in the Dota 2 discipline. Despite previous failures, managers decided not to change anything and let the guys play and establish good relations within the team. The current composition of the Team Liquid Dota 2 team for 2017:
- The captain playing the fifth position support heroes is KuroKy.
- The fourth position support player is GH.
- The player of the difficult line, taking the third position - MinD_ContRoL.
- The second-line player in the second position is Miracle-.
- The bottom line player in the first position is MATUMBAMAN.
It was with this composition that the team was able to become the world champion. They long and hard went to this title. The organization also said that no changes are planned in the team, and all fans will be able to continue to enjoy the magnificent game of their favorite team.
Title defense
Someone hopes that Team Liquid's popularity will soon decline, believing that gaming updates will change everything. But the events of recent days show that so simply they will not give up. In the last Dota Pit League tournament, the champions went through all the clashes without losing a single card.
But in the final, the score was 2-0 not in their favor. The fans already thought that this was the end, but unexpectedly for all the guys gathered and won three cards in a row. With this victory, they again proved that they earned the title of champions for a reason, and they are not going to give it to anyone.
