The American team Liquid announced that Eric “adreN” Hoag will become her new coach after the leadership of the esports organization decided to end cooperation with Jason “moses” About’Thule. This is the third time Eric Hoag has returned to Liquid. He played for it in 2015-2016, and then at the end of 2018 he joined it as a coach. Over the next eight months, the team took seven significant titles and remained at the top of the world rankings for eighteen weeks.
In mid-2020, Liquid made a number of changes to its roster, including inviting a new coach, but they were unable to achieve equally significant results. Therefore, now the team management has decided to resume cooperation with adreN. Now the team is going through another transition period also due to the fact that the in-game leader instead of Jake “Stewie2K” Yipa should become Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo.
Liquid co-CEO Victor Goossens described the collaboration with adreN as follows: “Very often the value of something you have is only realized after you lose it, and collaboration with Eric – exactly that case. His contribution to the team's strategy is incredible. Now that we have our current roster, we feel even stronger, and Eric – “Exactly the coach who will allow us to reach the next level.”
