There could be major changes coming to Team Liquid’s CS:GO operation.

Liquid is weighing the sale of its franchise player, rifler Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski, along with transitioning from the North American region to Europe, multiple reports said Monday.

Potential moves to add Russian rifler Robert “Patsi” Isyanov from Team Spirit and Bulgarian rifler Aleks “Rainwaker” Petrov from 500, combined with selling off EliGE, would make Liquid a majority-European team.

EliGE, considered a CS:GO legend, turns 26 next month and has played for Team Liquid since March 2015. The Pennsylvania native guided Liquid to the Intel Grand Slam in 2019.

HLTV’s North American CS:GO website dust2.us said nothing was final as of Monday and the moves may not materialize.

Dust2.us also ranks Liquid as the No. 1 team in CS:GO despite its being down to four players after the May 31 departure of Nick “nitr0” Cannella.
