Samuel “Boxi” Svahn has returned to Team Liquid just in time forThe International 10’sRegional Qualifiers.
The announcement was made byTeam Liquid’s coach, William “Blitz” Lee, on Twitter a day after the team was eliminated from theWePlay AniMajor.
Boxi had decided to take a break from competition and use it on some much needed personal time, leaving Team Liquid just before they competed in theDreamLeague Season 15 DPC Western Europe Upper Division.
Boxi is ready to play once again
Team Liquid recruited former TI5 championSyed “SumaiL” Hassanto stand-in forBoxifor the remainder of the DPC 2021 season.
With SumaiL on their roster, Team Liquid finished the season in second place, which earned them a Group Stage spot at WePlay AniMajor. The team was eventually eliminated from the Group Stage after a tiebreaker loss toTeam Spirit.
While Team Liquid had strong performances with SumaiL, Blitz explained that the team wasn’t planning on making any permanent changes to its roster.
“There has been some speculation that we’re trying to see who would do better with, but that could not be further from the truth. Boxi took some much needed personal time off and is now ready to play once again,” said Blitz.
Blitz also thanked SumaiL for helping the team in their time of need. “I wish we could have gone further, but it was an absolute pleasure. Our results here were absolutely not his fault and he performed incredibly well under the circumstances,” Blitz added.
