EliGE Explains How Liquid Operates While Playing and Who Leads the Team

Team Liquid has put up some fantastic performances at the currently ongoing ESL Pro League Season 15, winning two matches while losing one against Movistar Riders. While talking about how the team operates and who leads them in the server, team's veteran Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski in an interview with ESL explained how he, Richard "shox" Papillon, and Nicholas "nitr0" Cannella divide the calling responsibilities amongst them while competing.

This is quite the revelation as Liquid with potentially three callers have been operating quite smoothly and showing good success with their performance as well. Both Joshua "oSee" Ohm and EliGE have comfortably shouldered the responsibility of being the standout players for the side so far.

Following their win against GODSENT, EliGE spoke in a post-match interview with ESL, hosted by Anastasija "Heccu " Tolmačeva. EliGE opened up about the roles of all Liquid members within the server.

Speaking about how Team Liquid operates when competing, EliGE revealed that the responsibility of calling the shots is divided between him, shox, and nitr0.

"It is pretty much who is feeling it between me, show, and nitr0," said EliGE, while adding that, "I would definitely say that nitr0 and shox are way more vocal right now".

Furthermore, EliGE went on to specifically say a few things about the French veteran who joined the team in December last year, "I think Richard (shox) brought on a lot of stuff in the past couple of weeks that has improved us a lot as a team. I think that he gave us like a really good structure of how we want to be playing for our team identity and I think like that has been the biggest factor for us recently like our big growth".

EliGE also spoke about how it felt playing against his former Liquid teammate Epitácio "TACO" de Melo, who is currently the shot caller for GODSENT, and even presented his opinion about Movistar Riders, who later went on to beat Liquid by a '2-0' scoreline.
