Hey, at least Liquid and G2 won something this week.

A little over two months into the 2026 spring season, Liquid and G2 have made a historic swap. And we think this might, at least on paper, be a winning situation for both.

malbsMd has been struggling to fill NiKo’s shoes since the Bosnian superstar left for the greener (as in dollar dollar bills) pastures in Falcons. A 1.02 rating across 2026, somehow putting him behind SunPayus, has had people screaming for his removal all year.

G2 have listened, and the replacement is Liquid’s underwhelming star signing of 2025, NertZ. Granted, his 2026 started slightly better individually - improving from a 1.05 to a 1.09 thus far in 2026 - but the team has been absolutely in the dumps since the season started.

What’s interesting is that malbsMd is moving the other way into siuhy and flashie’s open arms, looking to ruin his career by joining Liquid. The true destiny for all North American players.

On paper, we’re not huge fans of this move for Liquid considering the Guatemalan’s consistent performances - that is, pretty sh-t ones - in the past few months with G2. That being said, we also remember the last time he played on a North American team, and good golly, miss Molly, that was glorious.

Because yes, as of this transfer, Liquid are once again a North American team. That’s not just appeasing the fans - some of them anyway - but also has some pretty wide-reaching consequences in the scene.

Speaking of…
