Insider Ozzny first broke the news by posting a screenshot of the official registration list. Under Team Liquid’s name, siuhy, NAF, FLY, NertZ, ultimate, and EliGE are clearly listed. The sudden appearance of EliGE immediately caused a storm of reactions. The post gathered over 100,000 views in less than 24 hours. Journalists, fans, and even organizers quickly spread comments across the scene.
Fragadelphia organizers added intrigue with a simple eyes emoji, leaving fans to speculate. Ozzny confirmed: “We’ll be keeping a close eye on Blocktober.”
EliGE’s History with Liquid
EliGE’s name is tied closely to Team Liquid. He joined in 2015 and became the team’s cornerstone for eight years. With him, Liquid won Intel Grand Slam Season 2 in 2019 and reached the ESL One Cologne 2016 final. The team established itself as the main rival to Europe’s giants.
Over several years, EliGE ranked among HLTV’s top 20 players. In 2019, he finished fourth, becoming the face of the NA scene. His 2023 departure felt like the end of an era. Liquid began rebuilding, while he searched for new challenges. Two years later, fans may see him back in the lineup where he became a legend.
Community Reaction
Fans and insiders jumped in with comments and memes:
- Donk Sports joked: “I knew that was true, I was just early.”
- Fragadelphia’s account fueled the fire with only .
- Fragster.com shared a GIF: “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.”
- One analyst reminded: “They must use him in at least 5 matches before the Major.”
- Market.CSGO posted: “Coming full circle.”
- Fan Adrian reacted simply: “Liquid in Blocktober.”
Social media split between nostalgia, excitement, and disbelief. For many, the idea of EliGE returning after leaving in 2023 seemed impossible.
What It Means for Team Liquid
EliGE’s return could be both emotional and strategic. With experienced NAF and a new core of siuhy and NertZ, EliGE can bring stability and leadership. For Liquid, this might be the chance to rebuild lost chemistry and fight again for trophies.
Their first challenge will be Blocktober, where the updated roster will debut. The event could be both a test and the first real step to confirming EliGE’s comeback.
So far, Team Liquid has not commented officially. Still, the leak looks serious. If confirmed, fans will witness one of the most emotional comebacks of the year. The NA legend may return to Liquid. This move could spark a new beginning for both the player and the North American CS2 scene.
