An almost completely new Team Liquid roster will enter the server in the upcoming months after the Dutch Organization swayed away from its European adventure earlier this year with the departure of both Rainwaker and Patsi from the team. 

Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken, Casper "cadiaN" Møller, and Felipe "skullz" Medeiros have all been rumored to be joining the lineup that will head back to the North American RMR with three players from the NA and SA region on the team. Brazilian player Felipe "skullz" Medeiros was announced last night as the first of the three.

Felipe "skullz" Medeiros joins after a stint at paiN Gaming, where the rifler proved his worth in several A-tier tournaments such as ESL Pro League Season 17, the BLAST.tv American Major qualifier, and the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2022 tournament. At Team Liquid the Brazilian will face new challenges with English as the in-game language of the roster, which is expected to be finalized within the next few days.

Team Liquid has not played an official match since the start of October, and is not scheduled to participate in any tournament before the new year.

paiN is back to five players after they said goodbye to Gabriel "NEKIZ" Schenato who signed with 0 PLANO, as well as moving the 24-year-old Gabriel "nython" Lino to the bench. According to [link:{"url":"https://www.dust2.com.br/noticias/30304/pain-tambem-pagou-quantia-milionaria-por-zevy","isNewTab":true,"text":"Dust.com.br"}] the 21-year-old zevy and skullz cost a hefty 325,000€.

paiN has been a solid top 30 team for the majority of 2022, and now with their two new additions they are aiming after getting into the top 20. zevy has been averaging 1.17 rating over his year at Sharks, and is currently sitting with a 1.38 rating over the past 2 months.

The young rifler Felipe "skullz" Medeiros has been removed from the active roster at TeamOne per Thursday evening, the Brazilian team announced on Twitter. The decision has been made by a "consensus between the coaching staff, the team of psychologists and the player himself", owing to personal reasons by the 19-year old player. 

- We will give him the necessary time and support so that these matters can be solved and he can return to our team as soon as possible. 

TeamOne explains in a statement following the benching of skullz.

TeamOne has just announced the signing of two new players to their roster. After the departure of Bruno "br4rtiN" Câmara, who has been linked with a new project, TeamOne was down to only four members in their roster. This, of course, meant a new signing, but instead ended up with two. The two signings in Felipe "skullz" Medeiros and Cássio "cass1n" Santos means that TeamOne will be trying out the six-man roster set up in 2021. Both players, as well as the signing of new coach Ricardo "dead" Sinigaglia, have signed a three-year contract with the organization. 

The two new members of TeamOne are both extremely young at an impressive age of 18 years old. This, however, isn't unfamiliar territory for the Brazilian organization. TeamOne's CEO Alexandre "kakaveL" Peres stated the following in a press release: 

"TeamOne has always been committed to creating young talents and this time it will be no different." He followed up by saying: "We believe that we have made the right choices again and that we will reap the rewards in a few months.”

With the team's new signings it will be interesting to see in the upcoming months if the young players in "skullz" and "cass1n" will be able to boost the rankings of the Brazilian team, who currently ranks 24th. in the world, according to HLTV official rankings. Furthermore, it is still unclear as to who will have to play the back-up role in the roster.
