Official: Liquid bench oSee amid shuffle, NRG negotiations

Liquid have benched Josh "oSee" Ohm while thanking him for his two years on Liquid as he is expected to depart the organization ahead of a blockbuster move to NRG, who are still formulating their new roster. Casper "cadiaN" Møller is expected to join the roster before the end of the year which has left oSee without an AWPing job at Liquid.

The North American organization has already said their goodbyes to Damian "daps" Steele and Robert "Patsi" Isyanov, with Aleks "Rainwaker" Petrov also expected to leave in due course. The failed European roster only lasted for a few short months and came with a tremendous cost to their fanbase. Many felt alientated by Liquid for choosing to move on from North America and to make matters worse, became an inferior team.

Liquid is retooling their roster without oSee and returning to the Americas region. Dust2.us knows that Liquid's plans of bringing in Brazilian Felipe "skullz" Medeiros and Canadian Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken, with cadiaN as the new IGL, has not changed at all.

oSee, while no longer part of Liquid's active roster, is not being released as Liquid, NRG, and the AWPer are all working towards a transfer agreement. Dust2.us reported previously that NRG is already in contract negotations with the player. Seeing Liquid have already said their goodbyes to the young star, it's possible that NRG may be in a position to announce the acquisition themselves sooner rather than later.
