Team Liquid stellte an diesem Wochenende ihr neues Overwatch-Team vor. Unter den sechs Spielern befindet sich mit Keven 'AZK' Lariviere auch ein ehemaliger CS:GO-Profi, der wegen Matchfixing von Valve für die Teilnahme an Turnieren gesperrt wurde.
Say hi to our new Overwatch team and give them a follow!

Man rekrutierte das Overwatch-Roster, welches zuvor unter dem Namen „The Life of Hanzo“ unterwegs war. Es besteht aus ehemaligen Profi-Spielern aus Team Fortress, Quake und Counter-Strike.
Team Liquid nurtured my passion for esports and it feels very natural for me to transition into representing them as a player. I really appreciate the opportunity Liquid is giving me and my team, and I’m excited to compete in future Overwatch tournaments as part of the organization.
Even though I realize that I hurt the scene that I enjoyed so much, the only way I know to prove that I’ve changed is through competition. I know that many of you are skeptical about me participating in esports again, but I swear to do it right. I may not deserve your trust or even your forgiveness, but I plan to earn it in Overwatch. Very few people receive second chances like this, and I am aware of how lucky I am that an organization like Liquid believes in me. I take full responsibility for my past mistakes, and part of that is showing everyone that I have reformed and matured. I do not expect anyone to believe me right now, but hopefully I can change minds with hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude.
Going into Overwatch, the game has been a lot of fun so far, and it feels like I still have a lot to learn. I’m currently practicing every single day trying to reach the level that I was at in Counter-Strike. We have a great group of guys who have all been elite players in the games that they’ve played and I believe we have what it takes to become one of the best teams in the world.
Lastly, I would like to ask the fans to spare my teammates from unwarranted criticism. They have been kind enough to trust me as a teammate and as a friend, and they have nothing to do with my past. I am lucky enough to be on a team with a bunch of great people, and I hope that you can support them even if you cannot support me.
