Promising fish123 roster set to join Team Liquid

Undoubtedly one of the most exciting squads in Europe, fish123 were dominant throughout the Valorant closed beta. Hailing from the UK, they have already accrued more than $22k in prize money having won a bunch of third-party tournaments.

Originally, the line up consisted of five former Counter-Strike pros: Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks, James “Kryptix” Affleck, Travis “L1NK” Mendoza, Dom “soulcas” Sulcas and Adam “ec1s” Eccles.

However, earlier in the month, ardiis announced that he had signed with G2 Esports. He’s not off to a bad start there either; the newly formed roster recently came out on top at the Valorant Ignition Series x Team Vitality EU Open.

Fish123 found a stand-in in the shape of CS legend, Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom. Following an incredibly long and successful career playing Counter-Strike, ScreaM looks poised to make the transition into professional Valorant.

It appears that ScreaM, along with the four remaining fish123 members, will soon be representing globally recognised esports brand, Team Liquid.

Writing for 1PV, @neLendirekt said this (translated):

“According to our information, the 4 players from fish123 are in advanced negotiations to join (Team Liquid)… Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom is also part and would complete the composition”.

If this move goes ahead, Team Liquid will become a serious competitor in EU Valorant. It would certainly be interesting to see them face off against G2 Esports and former teammate ardiis.
