Team Liquid, a formidable force in the esports world, has officially announced the return of Wilton “zews” Prado as head coach, marking a significant step in their ambitious rebuild for the 2024 season.
This move solidifies zews’ second tenure with the organization after a successful stint from 2017 to 2018.
zews, a two-time Major-winning coach, is well-regarded for his achievements in 2016 and his profound impact on the teams he has led.
His return to Liquid follows his recent role at Fluxo and notable stints with MIBR, Evil Geniuses, and O PLANO. During his previous time with Liquid, zews guided the team to significant victories, including a win at cs_summit 2, and runner-up finishes at ESL One New York and IEM Chicago, leading them to peak at No. 1 in the world rankings.
Liquid’s rebuild strategy has been assertive, recently signaled by the signing of Felipe “skullz” Medeiros and the anticipated additions of Casper “cadiaN” Møller and Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken.
zews’ return is seen as a crucial element in this strategy, bringing his extensive experience and strategic acumen to the fore.
With the inclusion of skullz, a rising star from Brazil, zews’ role becomes even more pivotal. His experience and leadership are expected to play a key role in guiding skullz as he ventures outside his home region for the first time, ensuring his successful integration and development within the team.
During his first tenure with Liquid, zews was instrumental in leading the team to multiple second-place finishes, although they faced challenges overcoming the dominance of Astralis in 2018. His most successful period post-Liquid was with Evil Geniuses, where he led the team to victories in the North American editions of BLAST Premier Spring and ESL One Cologne 2020.
Liquid’s new lineup, featuring Keith “NAF” Markovic, Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis, Felipe “skullz” Medeiros, and zews as coach, represents a blend of experience and emerging talent.
The team doesn’t have any events scheduled for the remainder of the year, making BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024 their debut stage with this revamped roster.
With zews at the helm, Team Liquid is poised to embark on a new chapter, aiming to reclaim their spot at the pinnacle of esports.
