It’s the 12th of July, 2024. No one knows it yet, but Liquid have just doomed themselves with the signing of ultimate.

It didn’t take the world long to figure it out, ultimate’s overly aggressive and careless playstyle was soon figured out, and then it constantly became a question of how and why he still had a spot on the team.

However, finally, the ultimate reign of terror has come to an end, and he was benched yesterday in favour of Jorko, who was signed after a spell with FOKUS.

The signing of Jorko is unquestionably a gamble, but a far safer one than ultimate was way back then. Although the 17-year-old is inexperienced, he’s played at a far more respectable level with FOKUS than ultimate ever had, and look - he can’t be as bad as ultimate was.

Can he?

Well, probably not. But there is certainly a small risk of it given the Bulgarian’s age and the higher level of opposition he will now be exposed to. He’s also going to have to contend with Liquid being a vibes black hole, too. So good luck, kid.

At least siuhy will be out. We’re still waiting on confirmation of JT’s arrival, but with rumours being pretty accurate so far, we’d say it’s quite likely.
