Naturally, this leaves Liquid in a tricky spot. Benching an AWP IGL leaves a team needing to fill two roles at once, but Liquid may already have the solution. The current rumor on the grapevine is that Skullz will be sold to FURIA Esports , leaving Liquid with its core of Twistzz , NAF , and YEKINDAR . We’re going to assume it’s true for the purposes of these points. So, what next for the Team Liquid CS2 roster now cadiaN is benched? Let’s discuss the possibilities.

Twistzz IGL ERA?

One of the rumors floating around is that  Twistzz  will take up the IGL mantle for Liquid. It’s an idea he has floated, but this feels a little early to us. Right now, Liquid are in dire need of firepower, and Twistzz is the only one who has provided that lately. As with every IGL not named dev1ce, you naturally lose some individual form in the role – he only has to look at YEKINDAR sitting next to him to see how wrong it can go.

As far as rumors go, we think this is quite plausible. It gives Liquid to chance to bring in two strong players by taking up the role himself. But again, we’re just not sure it’s the right move for any party involved.
