adreN confirmed for Liquid at qualifier

24-2-2016 02:09

Eric "adreN" Hoag will be Liquid's fifth player at the MLG Columbus Main Qualifier, Spencer "Hiko" Martin has just confirmed via Twitter.

After changing the starting roster, as Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen has replaced Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag in Liquid, the team have run into trouble due to one of the rules prohibiting koosta from playing with anyone but Enemy.

Initially Mohamad "⁠mOE⁠" Assad was supposed to stand in for the team once again after having already done so at ESL ESEA Pro League Season 2 Finals.

adreN will play the Main Qualifier with Liquid

He has reverted that decision since due to Echo Fox missing him for the next major's minor, according to his explanation on Facebook.

adreN has now been confirmed to come back to the team temporarily for the MLG Columbus Main Qualifier, as well as for the major in case Liquid qualify.

Liquid's lineup at the MLG Columbus Main Qualifier will be:

Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin
Nick "⁠nitr0⁠" Cannella
Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski
Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev
Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag

This is "unexpected" news

He said, 'I would of' at first and thus I proceeded to make that comment. He changed it to 'off' making me look foolish.

thanks man :)

2016-02-24 02:27

yo my brother from anotha' mother

2016-02-24 05:52

Hello evil Indonesia (with a brighter red) KappaPride

2016-02-24 11:30

Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev in Liquid K.

wrong adren lmao

WHAT A GOD <3

they used Gambit's AdreN, instead of Liquid's adreN (capital A versus lower case a) GG

its crazy how many posts are within the first 5 seconds lol

I don't see why people are acting like this is a big deal. They qualified with adreN before this, against better teams and without s1mple. Fucking reactionary mongs in these comment sections.

You put wrong Adren Lmao!

but he is noob - s1mple

lol

2016-02-24 02:14

LMFAO who wrote this article they put the wrong adren.

I think that would be "striker". It's kind of written at the top.

2016-02-24 12:30

No way, you're a genius man.

2016-02-24 18:17

Kappa ? noKappa

I beg the god for pov stream. I HAVE to hear Liquids teamspeak after all this

2016-02-24 02:15

well rip major dream i doubt they can qualify when playing 4v5 all the time

they did it last time, admittedly 2nd out of their group

2016-02-24 05:32

Wrong Adren - Eric "Adren" Hoag, not the one from Kazakhstan.

they've done this wrong more than once hahah

2016-02-24 02:36

Have they? Oh well haha. Maybe both Adren and adreN should make a new team together :P

2016-02-24 02:59

Big A and little a

2016-02-24 08:26

as Kenneth "koosta" Suen has replaced Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev in Liquid u puut thewrong adren again plz fix

Well, actually, may not be such a bad move considering he is the best player that will transition in smoothly. S1mple and nitro will do all the entrying anyways, all adren has to do is read plays and make calls. Hiko clutch. Looks pretty solid to me. Chemistry is there

it was clearly working before

2016-02-24 02:28

Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev ????? HLTV ADMINS ??????

Thoorin gonna cry... but hes right

2016-02-24 02:17

I was praying that it said "As C9 Coach" :(

2016-02-24 02:18

GL adreN... go rek some faces

adren wont be igl so hes probably going to have a decent kdr

2016-02-24 02:22

how do u know he isn't? who is calling liquid now? (idk)

2016-02-24 03:10

s1mple not happy xD

lmao back again

2016-02-24 02:24

gl adren ; )

[*]

2016-02-24 02:29

People seem to think he is going to throw. Uh, he has a chance at making some damn good money if Liquid place. I think he is going to try super hard.

2016-02-24 02:31

Not to mention he has to show other teams he is worth getting

2016-02-24 02:41

That awkward moment when you cut someone ... then need them again a week later.

2016-02-24 02:32

gl adreN!

2016-02-24 02:34

moe with the chance of stickers and hoping for a major that won't happen next time, lol.

2016-02-24 02:38

RIP Liquid to major...

hahaha fk Hiko

2016-02-24 02:39

NOO

2016-02-24 02:40

adren will throw to get back at them kappa

rip liquid

INB4 Adren carries his team somehow and disproves the hate

just to throw the game Adren needs to play normal

2016-02-24 02:46

adren will drop -5 bombs trust me.

2016-02-24 02:51

2016-02-24 02:52

There goes there chances of getting out the group

2016-02-24 02:53

5k decoy to throw and hit them back ahahahahaha

2016-02-24 02:54

AdreN gonna throw it lol

Shit player. Liquid is better off with a bot.

2016-02-24 03:01

kewl

2016-02-24 03:02

niiice now brazilians have 1 team minus to worry about

2016-02-24 03:03

mOE would make it easier tbh

2016-02-24 03:25

Well that's another NA team not qualifying FeelsBadMan

2016-02-24 03:13

2016-02-24 03:18

2016-02-24 03:23

adreN sticker hype? i think not. :v

y hate adren i remember an adren flick try that with olof.

2016-02-24 03:28

niiiice, adren <3 this team is nothing without adren!

2016-02-24 03:29

RIP qualification

2016-02-24 03:52

hope he tk's everyone

2016-02-24 03:58

imagine the awkwardness on teamspeak

2016-02-24 04:03

forget TS, this is gonna be a lan event.. it's gonna be so awkward since they probably decided to drop him through teamspeak, this is probably the 1st time they would meet after adreN got kicked

2016-02-24 04:10

yeah, I woulnd't be surprised if Adren top fagged that event since he is strongly motivated by this kick to prove himself worthy

2016-02-24 04:13

or like the way steel was during the last few lans of iBP, he was just making plays all the time not caring at all since he was leaving the team anyway..

2016-02-24 04:15

true, question is, are they going to kick him anyways;P that'd be a fucking humiliation

2016-02-24 04:17

they kicked him already, so he is out after this tournament

2016-02-24 08:47

RIP Liquid

2016-02-24 04:11

Liquid going to win the 1 mil, heard it here first

2016-02-24 04:19

LOL. so awkward. but adren is so nice not to reject the request.

2016-02-24 04:33

very disappointing

2016-02-24 04:34

Liquid will fail, cause of adreN :( but owell...this is his last with liquid, and liquid will have koosta for the next one, and adreN can go back to his cave and be useless as usual

2016-02-24 04:37

Ur clueless, liquid will fall so hard wihout adren and u will see that. Its not about madfraggers. Its like c9, fall

2016-02-24 05:04

They may fall against EURO Teams sure ....but they will be NA BEST TEAM withOUT AdreN , AdreN is so bad always bottom fragging, doing dumb plays etc ( and yes its more than just top fragging ) , adreN just isnt very good anymore, and its time for him to move on or do something else like maybe coach or something. But in the Long run, Liquid is a better team without adreN , and even his own teamates agree with that.

2016-02-24 06:25

Lets go AdreN! We believe in you, fuck the haters. Give it one last hoorah and go out on top!

2016-02-24 04:45

+1 Really feel sorry for him though, he's a really nice guy, he doesn't deserve to get treated this way.

2016-02-24 13:35

Right? I mean I don't expect much intelligence or empathy from HLTV users because that takes too much effort. I think he can put out a good performance if he preps and puts his mind to it.. He's done it in the past. I just think he is burning out and that's why Liquid needed a change.

2016-02-24 21:33

I say he plays his best to say goodbye to Liquid?

2016-02-24 05:19

4750 decoy grenade incoming

2016-02-24 05:26

no worries. glorious comrade s1mple will destroy capitalist pigs with phenomenal awp skills

2016-02-24 05:51

ROFL

2016-02-24 06:22

awkward....however gl liquid + adren

2016-02-24 06:23

2016-02-24 06:27

Lets fkn go!

2016-02-24 06:31

Oh no. He gonna ruin Liquid again :((((

2016-02-24 06:53

why would he give a shit about this when he got kicked, like he won't even be igl. just puggin it :)

$$$$$$$$$$

2016-02-24 08:40

you morons don't realize that liquid will win major

2016-02-24 06:57

R.I.P adreN. simple gonna kill him fom bottomfragging

2016-02-24 07:04

that was soo expected, they had no other choice.

2016-02-24 07:59

why no M0E? it's can be funny than adreN anyway

2016-02-24 08:24

inb4 adreN carries

2016-02-24 08:27

So fucking awkwaaaard, damn. Good on adreN being a professional and just sucking it up and playing. I guess a lot of people don't remember when he was a monster back in source. Obviously his abilities didn't translate very well to GO, but that seems to be the case for a lot of players.

2016-02-24 08:34

+1 I would be so pissed lol

2016-02-24 09:07

Yeah. he's really being a true pro.

2016-02-25 10:14

koosta > adreN, sorry simple but you will not play on MLG Columbus :)

2016-02-24 08:41

Hoping Liquid don't even qualify for Major

Can koosta not play in the qualifier but he can play in the major if they win the qualifier with adreN? Please someone anwser

2016-02-24 09:01

No he can't.

2016-02-24 12:43

in before he plays like a beast there -.- This guy is only good when being a standin, I remember when he was just being a standin before starting to play again professionnally, he played really well.
