The North American audience will have familiar faces to cheer on at IEM Dalles at the end of May. The new iteration of Team Liquid managed to qualify for the event after a bumpy closed qualifier.

A defeat in the opening round against Nouns meant that Liquid had to go through the lower bracket to find their way to the Grand Final, where they faced off against Nouns once again.

A 13-7 and 13-9 win on Inferno and Mirage saw Liquid secure their spot at IEM Dallas. The two Canadians on the team, Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken and Keith "NAF" Markovic ended the event as the highest-rated players, while Jeorge 'Jeorge' Endicott from Nouns was the highest-rated player in the Grand Final.

14 out of 16 teams have now been found for the Dallas event. The last two spots will be found at the closed European qualifier next month.

These teams have qualified for IEM Dallas:

Complexity, M80, Team Liquid, 9z, Grayhound, BIG, Monte, Falcons, G2, Natus Vincere, MOUZ, FaZe, Vitality, Spirit.

There will be North American teams to support in the second half of 2023!

Complexity underlined their commitment to the NA scene Thursday night with the signing of Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski to the team. But what about Evil Geniuses? The Seattle-based organization had been linked with European players such as Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug, Aleksandr "⁠zorte⁠" Zagodyrenko, and Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov during the summer. But none of the above-mentioned players were part of the announcement Saturday evening, where EG made their intentions clear about the future.

The five now former EG Black players will be promoted to the main team, where only Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta survives from the original team. Vincent "⁠Brehze⁠" Cayonte, Jerric "⁠wiz⁠" Jiang, Ismail "⁠refrezh⁠" Ali, and Sanzhar "⁠neaLaN⁠" Iskhakov have all been benched and will be allowed to search for a new home.

Jadan "⁠HexT⁠" Postma, Colby "⁠Walco⁠" Walsh, Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson, and Jeorge "⁠Jeorge⁠" Endicott will replace the four players, while the last player from the old EG Black, William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba, will be a 6th player ready to stand-in.

EG also announced the departure of their Danish head coach Daniel "Vorborg" Vorborg, who will also be replaced by the coach of EG Black, Tommy "⁠Axed⁠" Ryan.

Today’s #POTD is made by Jeorge "jeorgesnorts" Endicott. In an ESEA Summer 2022 Cash cup match, the young gun from America managed to shut down an A site push on Ancient by delivering an ace with both the Galil and the Dealge in his hands.
