DeMoN officially joins Team Liquid

With a lengthy statement on their official site, Team Liquid announced the acquisition of Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho. DeMoN has been standing in for the team since his departure from Team Dog, replacing Liquid's former captain Brian 'FLUFFNSTUFF' Lee.

With only days since the announcement of his RedBull sponsorship, it seems that Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho has reached an agreement with Team Liquid to join their official squad. The team lacked a fifth player since the departure of their former captain, Brian 'FLUFFNSTUFF' Lee. However, since FLUFF was a support player and DeMoN plays the solo role, there may be some internal changes in the squad.

 

 

It has been about a month since Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho parted ways with his former squad Team Dog. Since his departure from Evil Geniuses in 2013, he has been struggling to find a home (being in four different teams in 2013). He has also acquired the nickname 'The Mercenary', after playing in several LAN events under the banner of teams that needed a stand-in player. 

On the other hand, the players of Team Liquid have been facing some significant performance and stability issues, probably leading to the internal conflict that forced the departure of FLUFF. The situation seems to have improved slightly with DeMoN's assistance, but it is clear that his impact is not as high when playing in the fourth and fifth positions. Only time will tell if DeMoN can fit inside his new squad and bring Team Liquid to their former pre-TI3 glory.

DeMoN's statement : 

 

I would like to thank Team Liquid for giving me this opportunity to play under such a prestigious organization. This team has been in a slump for the past few months now and I hope I'll be able to lift their spirits high and rebuild the confidence they need as a team. BuLba and myself go way back and have lots of chemistry together and I want to build that same relationship within the whole team. It's going to take a lot of #hardwork and #dedication but I know in the long run it'll all be worth it. "Suffer the PAIN of Discipline, or Suffer the PAIN of Regret" #LiquidRising

 

BuLba's statement :

 

Demon joining our team will be a great aid to both our play and our teams atmosphere. He has done a great job standing in for us the past few weeks and his playstyle has brought out a lot of #aggression I felt we lacked the past few months. I hope to prove ourselves as a team in the upcoming months and show that we have what it takes to contend among the top.

 

Current Team Liquid roster :

Canada Tyler 'TC' Cook
United States Sam 'BuLba' Sosale
United States Peter 'Waytoosexy' Nguyen
Germany Max 'qojqva' Broecker
United States Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho
