After four long years without a tournament win, Team Liquid has finally taken a step onto the top step of the podium after claiming victory at Elite League Season Two in Peru. The win couldn’t be timed better with Liquid gearing up for The International, which is just weeks away.
While it was classified as a tier two tournament and didn’t include heavyweight Dota squads Gaimin Gladiators or this year’s frontrunners Team Falcons, try telling that to Liquid, who lifted the trophy on Sunday after defeating 1win 3-2 in the final. Both teams traded wins back and forward in the best-of-five, but it was Liquid from the lower bracket—led by a 14-kill effort from mid laner Nisha—who triumphed in the end.
