In the article by Yahoo Esports, Team Liquid’s head coach David Lim stated, “I’m excited to have finally rounded out our roster and welcome Link to the Liquid family. Link is an extremely cerebral player and a very team-centered one at that. We will rotate between Link and Goldenglue through the season and it is my hope that as the season progresses, the twin headed dragon of Link and Goldenglue will challenge the upper echelons of top League rosters.”
The added level of flexibility in both play styles and synergy gives Team Liquid a lot more freedom for the upcoming season. With this being Link’s return to the competitive scene after a year-long absence, he’s sure to have some tricks up his sleeve for the matches to come.
