Jamppi extends his contract with Team Liquid for 3 years

While it is true that all the spotlight is on VALORANT Champions 2023 with every match of the most important tournament in the competitive calendar, some organizations are trying to secure their future. In this opportunity, we have Team Liquid, and Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen agreed to extend his contract with the organization for three more years.

Team Liquid has in its mind to finish this season with a championship trophy and thus have a place among the best VALORANT teams in the world. However, the team is currently on a tightrope, as they have to play for their lives against none other than LOUD in the Group D Elimination Match. As a result, the team that wins this match will remain alive in the tournament, while the other team will go straight home.

However, this does not detract from the fact that Team Liquid is thinking about their future, so they have secured one of their stars for three more years.

Jamppi extends his contract with Liquid for three years

While there was no official announcement from TL or Jamppi, information regarding the contract extension is reflected in VALORANT’s Player Contracts database. According to this listing, Jamppi will play under the Team Liquid banner through 2023, barring a trade or transfer agreement.

It is worth remembering that before extending his contract with Liquid, Jamppi would become a free agent after the VCT Champions 2023.

On the other hand, we can also mention that Jamppi is not the only player who extended his contract until 2026, as Ayaz “nAts” Akhmetshin also signed this extension. On the other hand, Saif “Sayf” Jibraeel still has an active contract until 2025, while Igor “Redgar” Vlasov and Dom “soulcas” Sulcas have only one more year secured with the organization.

Team Liquid surprised everyone by winning the VCT EMEA League

There is no doubt that Fnatic was everyone’s clear favorite to take the victory in the VCT EMEA League 2023, as the team consistently demonstrated their high level of play. However, Team Liquid surprised everyone in the playoffs and finally took the victory in the Grand Final against Fnatic to close an unexpected tournament.

Now, at VCT Champions 2023, the team needs to wake up after their defeat in the first Group D Group Stage match against NaVi by 0-2. Now, they will have to face the winners of VALORANT Champions 2022, LOUD, to earn the right to stay alive in the tournament.

About Jamppi

Jamppi is a player who, although he was considered somewhat closed and uncreative, we observe how he can show a great level of play with several agents as time goes by. In addition, he also demonstrates his great aim by destroying his enemies with relentless headshots.

In recent times, we have seen Jamppi play with Chamber and Neon. But, especially with the first one. Despite losing 0-2 to NaVi in the first match of VCT Champions 2023, Jamppi rose to the occasion and had a good game.
