FalleN takes over Liquid's IGL role

Following a string of lacklustre results, the North American roster has handed over the calling duties to their Brazilian AWPer.

Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo has taken over in-game leadership duties on Liquid from Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip, Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic has revealed in a video interview with ESL.

The change in captaincy comes after Liquid were eliminated from their BLAST Premier Spring Group following two series losses to FaZe, resulting in them being sent to the BLAST Spring Showdown.

The team also kicked off the year with a fourth-place finish in the BLAST Premier Global Final, securing wins over Natus Vincere and Evil Geniuses before losing out to Vitality and in a rematch against Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov's troops.

FalleN takes up the in-game leader role just one month after joining Liquid

"The big holes in our team were always that we never had a dedicated AWPer and we never had a dedicated IGL," NAF explains. "After our recent performances, we're trying to implement FalleN as our main IGL now."

Liquid have been struggling to maintain consistent form since the departure of Nick "⁠nitr0⁠" Cannella, with Stewie2K initially filling the in-game leader position while trading AWPing duties with NAF. The ELEAGUE Boston Major champion held on to the leadership role following FalleN's addition last month as a replacement for Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken, but he has now traded off those duties to the former MIBR captain and veteran in-game leader.

"FalleN is a lot more experienced with his past on previous teams and the way he plays the game," NAF went on to explain. "It brings new ideas and it generates new ideas for us to play and to think about. Outside of the game he helps a lot with making sure we're a unit, a team."

Liquid secured a spot in the IEM Katowice main event on Tuesday following wins over MIBR and OG in the Play-In stage, and now await the bracket draw, with matches set to kick off on Thursday.

idk theres a reason that teams stewie joins instantly become better and when he leaves they go to shit. Joined c9 they win major leaves and look at what they've become. Joins liquid and they become number 1 in the world. I will say I don't think he plays as well in online cs

Based on stats alone Stew isn't worth much. BUT based on how he plays - dude, I can hardly think of anyone else as sacrificial as him. Whatever spot is missing on the team he would be willing to fill in and do what he can to help a team win. Sure, he sucks as an IGL, but otherwise his impact on the game of any team is pretty solid - fills in roles, entry, anchor, clutches, he's got em. That's why I believe he can do better once again now that he isn't pressured as the main IGL. The Liquid Era fell short, I hope they can get back in form for it to come around again, but who knows since tbh, 2021 has got a lot of hype teams. The times where all we can see is Astralis dominating are gone for the moment and CSGO has gotten exciting again keke.

Have to agree that theres a bunch of teams that can win tournaments right now. Predicting a winner is like rolling a dice, whereas before you had like 2 real candidates for the win.

lmao no. The reason he was clinging onto IGL was because he knows himself that he sucks dong, and this was his only way to stay on the team. It's all going as I had predicted, within (an extremely generous) 4 months, he's kicked from Liquid

I wish I actually knew you so we could bet on this. I’d gladly take that bet. Stew I’ll come right back into form. Even as an igl stew was still fraging better than 75% of igl’s. The funny part is stew is a player that fills all roles, he’s never had a set role since the major win. When he has a set role he always finishes 1.10 rating and above, if you can’t see this you haven’t been watching csgo for very long. If you think I’m wrong go back and look at his stats.

Even if he was from Quebec, his English isn't even bad. If someone was seriously reading what he was saying, they'd know he was trying to say "Stick to smoking weed." The other paragraph was completely fine.

last time stewie had rating above 1.10 was in 2017 so I dont know from where u are getting ur stats. stewie is overrated player with lack luster stats..belove avg stats. with filter top 20 he had ratings : 1.11 (2017), 1.04(2018), 1.03(2019), 0.97(2020). instead of twistzz, he should have gone because liquid was looking for awper and igl.

Boltz and fer had their brilliant times I would say, I think they can go back to the top of the cs, but at that moment, exchanging elige, grim, stewie or naf, for one of these two, does not make any sense, for boltz, he is missing get used to the European level, since he spent a whole year in Brazil and for fer, he would have to recover his great cs, the same as 2017, but this I think is more difficult than the boltz will have to do

People have no idea the importance of Stewie2k on the roster. If we were to have gotten rid of Stew and kept Twistzz, we'd be 3 aimbots, a hybrid, and an AWP/IGL. We'd be so predictable it would be sad. Stewie off IGL will allow him to go back to being the smoke criminal, producing unpredictability that will leave other teams guessing whether Liquid is playing passive, or if Stew pushed up in smoke without anyone knowing. He is the only liquid member who doesn't just hang out passive in their position.

Let's hope it turns out that way. And I felt like FalleN was playing way too defensively, specially on T-side. Like he was someone just to throw utility, specially flashes. Not doing anything agressive, not trying to get opening kills or anything like that. It looked like he was being held back, but the question is by whom. Stewie? Moses? Himself? A combination of these? Let's see what will happen now. The reason he was still fragging on MIBR is because he made space for himself with his calls. I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like this won't be possible in Liquid.

It's not that simple. If Twistzz already wanted to leave, changing one player wasn't gonna make him wanna stay. These situations build up over time and most of the times there isn't any specific action to take in order to solve it
2021-02-17 02:41

Because Twistzz didn't feel at home without nitr0 and wanted to leave regardless of what happened.

Now if it was Twistzz instead of Stewie on the team, this would be a serious contender for Top 3

I somehow agree, like stew is kinda overrated and twistzz is one of the best in NA, imo the best of Canada

When Fallen was IGL'ing on MIBR and they were losing a lot It was so funny to see people here on HLTV saying that Fallen strats were 'outdated' and that this was the reason MIBR was sinking down. I always watch Fallen's streams and on his streams he always teached a LOT of basic and advanced things about individual skills, teamplay, strategy and a LOT of things about the metas used on the pro scene. For example, when he was teaching some smokes and mollies line ups he firstly showed how and why that same smoke/molly was thrown in previous metas, then he teached how and why the meta changed on that grenade. He also always analized tier1(or 2) matches on his streams and he always did the same thing i explained above (about grenades) when analizing the strats the teams were using on the demo he was analizing. He used to explain whats the idea behind the strats teams were using on that match and always explained how that same strat was different on previous metas, how that strat works on current meta, and why that strat got changed. The problem with MIBR had no relation to Fallen's IGLing.. you can call the most indicated calls on each round of a match... if your team can't manage to execute the strat efficiently you WILL lose.

So Fallen destroyed MiBR with his subpar IGL'ing, now he's on to Liquid? What a sad day. They should have employed Owsee not a washed up IGL/awper with calling stuck in 2017. Stew2k is calling just fine.

I thought FalleN would be a good asset if he didn't focus on igling, so he could focus on AWPing. Don't know if this will work. They might get better, but mostly because their current igling is terrible. FalleN wasn't much better than this before leaving mibr though
