jks: "If ultimate continues on the path that he is going, he will be one of the best players"

The Australian rifler spoke about his return to the server and the new-look Liquid in an interview with one of Liquid's sponsors.

jks will play his first official in nearly ten months

Ahead of the debut of the new Liquid roster at BLAST Premier Fall Groups and the Play-in stage of IEM Cologne, Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage spoke in an interview with one of Liquid's sponsors, Monster Energy, to discuss his return to the server and how the team is faring thus far.

The Australian rifler discussed how the team's preparations have gone and how the dynamics are with Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken taking over leadership duties, stating that everyone is "trying to make him as comfortable as possible" with help outside and inside the server, but added that the Canadian is "doing really well" and has "a natural feel for the game."

Twistzz: "Liquid has given me a lot of trust and believed in the scouting that I've done"

He also praised Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis' work ethic and how much he contributes as a secondary voice on the team before touching on Roland "⁠ultimate⁠" Tomkowiak, a signing that came out of left-field and has raised questions ahead of the team's debut.

"We have ultimate, who is like the rookie in a sense," jks said. "But he's impressed me a lot in practice and yeah I think he's a very good player and if he continues on the path that he is going he will be one of the best players in the game, in the future.

"I think he has all qualities of a great player if he keeps working hard the way he has been. He of course needs more experience at big events, but overall I think if he just focuses on one event at the time and focuses on improving himself within the team he'll be in a great position. He should try not to put too much pressure on himself straight away coming into a team like Liquid."

That's just as rich as: "Twistzz has the potential to be one of the best IGLs we've ever seen" Maybe be a tad more modest in the beginning.
