As many of you may have known before, Team Liquid's original Dota2 team has completely broken away from the organization. Alliance, on the other hand, previously announced that it had dropped its Dota 2 team. Team Liquid has said it will soon start a new Team, so Alliance's former Dota 2 lineup is a natural good choice. And so it is：

Team Liquid officially has a new Dota 2 roster. The organization picked up the entire ex-Alliance squad today, which means Liquid will continue to stay in Europe for Dota 2 despite its increasingly global presence.

So the 'new' Liquid lineup features Michael “miCKe” Vu, Maximilian “qojqva” Bröcker, Samuel “Boxi” Svahn, Tommy “Taiga” Le, and Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi.

While the current iteration of players has played together for about two years. After failing to qualify for The International 2017, Alliance acquired the new talents who were then leaving HoN. Despite not qualifying for TI8 yet again, the roster stuck together and eventually made it into TI9.

They were eliminated in the first round of the main event despite constant flashes of talent throughout the group stage. A drafting mistake from their captain iNSaNiA might have sealed the loss, but it was remarkable to see the team’s instant support when they rallied behind him.

Even so, the Dota2 team is clearly not a weak team. Team Liquid has an experienced management Team, so we are looking forward to seeing how they perform in the upcoming DPC season.
