Official: Liquid add skullz

4-12-2023 20:12

The first piece of the organization's roster rebuild has been announced.

skullz joins NAF and YEKINDAR on Liquid

Liquid have announced the addition of Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros to their roster, confirming a move that was first reported by Dust2.br.

Media: zews joins Liquid, agreement reached for skullz

The Brazilian rifler's addition is the first step in a roster overhaul from Liquid, who are expected to complete their lineup with Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken, Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller, and Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado as coach.

skullz arrives on Liquid after 15 months as a part of paiN, with whom he averaged a 1.16 rating over 251 maps and was far and away their best player. He also maintained that consistency offline (1.17 rating) and against top-tier competition (1.18 rating vs. top 10 opponents, eight maps).

He particularly shined at the BLAST.tv Paris Major, averaging a 1.41 rating over seven maps in the Challengers Stage.

His performances earned him a reputation as one of Brazil's hottest talents, drawing the interest of Fluxo. The organization was in negotiations with paiN to acquire skullz for an alleged $600,000 buyout, but after he was approached by Liquid, skullz reportedly "expressed his desire to continue negotiating with the Dutch organization" instead.

His addition, along with the expected arrival of Twistzz, means that Liquid will be eligible to compete in the Americas for the PGL Copenhagen Major.

Liquid now have:

Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic
Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis
Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros

transfer mania v2?

can you confirm who auman is replacing on tyloo cause a lot of chinese are saying its moseyuh and if it is I will be very very angry and sad

2023-12-04 23:39

4 replies

from what i gathered they wanna make a 6man roster for some reason it's not like he's fully replacing moseyuh , but this team is going nowhere with danking benched and kaze playing also advent is finished as well so it's basically whatever no joy in life anymore

2023-12-04 23:49

3 replies

kaze really isnt that bad, danking probably better tho yes but I think its his own choice to not play before 2024 as far as I've heard. So dumb Tyloo just keeps so many players on the bench, they are hurting the CN scene more than they are helping it. Its hard cause I like the players but not the org

There's a reason why I keep consistently referring Lynn Vision's roster as the future of CNCS.

2023-12-05 05:50

agreed

First announced, first kicked.

Huge signing

we all know why liquid is trying foreign TALENTS :D

Cadian Yekindar Twistzz Naf Skullz Does this team really look mid to you?

2023-12-04 20:18

4 good players and skullz why ?

2023-12-04 20:19

skullz isnt bad what you all smoking

2023-12-04 20:21

hltv.org/stats/players/18676/skullz?star.. Skullz looked good at lan this year, even tho the sample size is low. Liquid wanted ksceratoo at first but he turned down the offer. Getting skullz isn't bad cuz he's decent and he can be good in the future, who knows.

2023-12-04 20:23

Now check what teams its against XDDDD fanboy

2023-12-04 20:37

He has 1,26 against top10 teams.

2023-12-04 20:38

He has 0 matches played vs top 10 teams, so nt fanboy hltv.org/stats/players/matches/18676/sku.. Against top20 he has 1.10 and 30% of those games are against brazil teams xd

2023-12-04 20:44

If use the filter of top10 it will only show the games when he was in a team that was ranked top10 against top10 teams But he never was in a top 10 team that's why he doesn't show anything. hltv.org/stats/players/18676/skullz?star.. Scroll down and u will see that has 1,26 rating against top 10 teams.

2023-12-04 20:52

Everything checksout

2023-12-04 23:27

yes, top 5 at best. they lack a real superstar

They don't have a superstar but they don't have weak links at least on paper Everyone is good except maybe skullz cuz he still need to prove himself at t1 level.

Cadian / above mid Yekindar /mid Twisttz above mid Naf /mid Skullz /under mid Yes team is not even mid

2023-12-04 22:01

nice average logic

I asked who was the first one but i found a bot team: hltv.org/team/5973/lulquid

2023-12-05 08:09

vamos

GL skullz and zews

looks good

kick in next 6 months

first real signing for Liquid in who knows how long

Good luck

2023-12-04 20:20

Lets gooooo!! Get ready for 100k+ on Liquid games

2023-12-04 20:31

Transfermania 2.0 underway!

This is going to be either the same as when they signed patsi and rainwaker or even worse.

They have an actual IGL this time, it should work out.

well skullz is way better than rainwaker atleast

2023-12-04 20:33

- They’ll have and actual IGL now and Yekindar back to rifling. - Skullz and twistzz have much more mechanics and firepower then Patsi and rainwaker atleast. This lineup is much more promising in my conception.

2023-12-04 20:43

skullz is actually good unlike those two.

GL skullz

Lets go liquid

nice

its happening

absolutely downgrade

Mid mid mid

2023-12-04 20:25

bad decision

2023-12-04 20:27

the brazilian spinx. Lets go! excited to see this new Liquid

wtf is going on in Liquid, so messy

2023-12-04 20:30

nice team

Good!!!

Skullz 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

2023-12-04 20:32

Budget kscerato ok

More like budget Spinx

2023-12-04 22:45

flamez is budget Spinx

2023-12-05 01:21

Actually good sign, skullz is a good potentional player, hope his english is good enough for clear calls and communication.

his english was pretty good on smooya's stream

2023-12-04 20:34

Then it's good

2023-12-04 20:35

Could you give me the link to this stream, friend? on twitch or ytb..

2023-12-06 05:36

twitch.tv/videos/1982758606 first mirage game

2023-12-06 08:26

excited for the start of a new era lets go liquid!

I haven’t see him play. Good luck though, grind and show your worth! Can’t wait until all these trades and acquisitions are finalized. Get the rosters solid and some killer T1 action next year

Added a nonamer from brazil just because of zews HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA🤣

-skullz +jks And then we'll talk.

M8 do you watch CS ? I mean why would they do that ? For JKS role they already have NAF FLY who is equivalent to him or even probably better than him.

2023-12-05 03:13

M8 do you watch CS ? jks is better as a player, jks is better for fanbase and jks always shines on stage in the playoffs.

2023-12-05 09:44

Okay Jks : hltv.org/stats/players/4679/jks?startDat.. NAF FLY : hltv.org/stats/players/8520/naf?startDat..

2023-12-05 15:10

I'm comparing jks to skullz.

2023-12-05 15:21

That's what I said For JKS role they already have NAF FLY. Why to have 2 players for same role ?

2023-12-05 15:28

I'm sure, Liquid can manage them. Stop being delusional, jks is a top tier anchor, he would be a huge upgrade for them.

2023-12-05 15:35

Also regarding fanbase I would like to invite you to check the Social Media account of both players.

2023-12-05 15:15

Just announce twistzz and cadian now plz

Just announce CADIAN

good luck monster

2023-12-04 20:41

wow fast player picture update from HLTV

Please don't let Goatzz down skullz

GL make history bro

now that's a way more likable version of Liquid than whatever it was last semester, glad to see America's region getting back on track

2023-12-04 20:45

when cadian and twistzz?

2023-12-04 20:48

The Brazilian KSCERATO

2023-12-04 20:50

Nice! Best of luck to Skullz. Also soon to be Twistzz, so just need a 5th Liquid member.

cadiaN

2023-12-04 22:46

damar gg

Although we all knew it - still a weird move by Liquid .. should've gone for a more experienced player like EliGE / jks / dupreeh

2023-12-04 21:02

sick

2023-12-04 21:03

NEW Liquid ROSTER Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller

2023-12-04 21:07

ladies and gentlemen the next eg green roster

2023-12-04 21:20

Yeah

2023-12-05 04:39

excited to see him use my skins in an official finally

2023-12-04 21:13

What an accomplishment

2023-12-04 21:25

Nah, not really, just cool. That my skins will be used by someone good at CS. I've had skins in Majors, but nobody that I've cheered for.

2023-12-04 21:36

Can you tell which ones? And what is the joy you feel for borrowing skins to pros?

2023-12-04 21:37

My P200 Ocean Foam with Titan Stickers M9 Fade Deagle Golden Koi with Liquid Stickers

2023-12-04 22:18

Will this team work out position wise? Dunno about zews in 2023 tho.

Such a strange pick up, would have preferred the addition of one of the old pieces of EG to stay in NA

2023-12-04 21:32

Mid

2023-12-04 21:34

Wrong

Skullz is brazilian, why the mexican song? dia de los muertos?

2023-12-04 21:55

I’m actually pretty excited for these moves from liquid

Patsi + Rainwaker were probably some of the worst roster moves of the year, and Skullz + Twistzz + Cadian are probably some of the best. Such a rollercoaster.

2023-12-04 22:39

It just simply made no sense. I understood the move to EU but Patsi and some tier 2 talent were not the play. Get yeki back to entry and bring in a veteran igl and awper. Twistzz looks good again. This’ll be exciting

2023-12-05 04:13

2023-12-04 22:34

Finally this dude can stop ruining NA's runs

2023-12-04 22:38

Let’s go finally I can cheer for Liquid again

2023-12-04 22:47

Great

2023-12-04 23:06

either gonna be next elige or another rainwaker

2023-12-04 23:13

Expected, but why?

2023-12-04 23:19

mexican song... NA you never learn...

2023-12-04 23:22

i think its bcs of the skull theme as Dia de los Muertos, you can even see the colors. why are you complaining about something like that lmao

2023-12-05 07:28

Is this a brazilian or mexican celebration?

2023-12-05 13:09

Yekindars ego under cadiaNs leadership Will be interesting to follow!

2023-12-04 23:30

by the way does this mean america will have 5 spots at the RMR? Is that confirmed or just speculation

2023-12-04 23:46

What was this guy's role in his former team? His playstyle?

2023-12-05 00:45

similar role and style to kscerato... it's no coincidence he was the option after kscerato refused Liquid youtube.com/watch?v=vGK_vNVT_fs

2023-12-05 01:05

Guy looks sick and his aim is very impressive. He has that kscerato style first-bullet accuracy. Thanks for the reply.

2023-12-05 01:28

Good luck skullz!.

2023-12-05 00:48

im not sure if this is what liquid needed

2023-12-05 02:21

Twistzz cadian now...

2023-12-05 02:29

Super Excited to see Skullz in Liquid.

2023-12-05 02:30

Yes

2023-12-05 02:53

whos next

2023-12-05 03:32

Welcome to Liquid!

2023-12-05 04:38

good luck!

2023-12-05 05:23

test message

2023-12-05 07:15

Taking a chance a chance with skullz, he is good, but is he competing against EU teams good? Lets see what he can achieve with a good team Good luck

2023-12-05 07:52

PaiN did at the start of the year before the roster moves on PaiN

2023-12-05 13:07

Yeah i think he can do great, i hope so too Brazil has one of the largest CS fanbases and with Fallen and Coldzera almost non exsistent on the scene, it'll be good for them to have something to cheer on Also if i understood correctly, CadiaN was pretty well liked at Rio, so Liquid could be a team with a good Brazilian backing

2023-12-05 14:57

:skull

2023-12-05 10:20

Yay gaules will cheer for liquid

2023-12-05 11:56

good and bad arguments in favor and against skullz. I hope he doesn't subdue to pressure like many other prospects. for the muricans criticizing him, I have a simple solution: JUST PRODUCE A BETTER PROSPECT cya

2023-12-05 12:06

I think Liquid find a great name, Skullz will be your star

2023-12-05 12:54

i hope he will be okay, brazilian scene deserves someone to cheer on big stages

2023-12-05 12:55

Wait liquid is a dutch org?

2023-12-05 15:30

-skullz in a few months lol

2023-12-05 16:24

Among other prospects, how exciting is this guy? Haven't seen any games of him. Lots of potential I reckon if he got signed by Liquid? What kind of roles does he play?

2023-12-05 21:17
