Zews to return as Team Liquid Head Coach

The esports scene, especially Counter-Strike, is in constant negotiations, as organizations know how important it is to have a solid team before the start of an important tournament. However, this time, it is the new era of CS2, so many teams are trying to have a solid squad to start the 2024 season or even close the 2023 season in the best possible way.

Team Liquid is one of the teams that has disappointed after its lineup change, as everything seems to indicate that its European adventure will not take long to end. Strong rumors exist about the possible arrival of Brazilian Wilton “zews” Prado as the team’s new Head Coach.

This would mark the return of Zews’ retirement from the competitive scene, which only lasted a few months. However, it also means the return of the Brazilian to the North American organization since he coached them several years ago.

Reports indicate that Zews will be the new Head Coach of Team Liquid

According to a report from HLTV.org, Team Liquid would sign the experienced Brazilian coach, zews, as the new Head Coach of CS2. In addition, this would mark the end of Damian “daps” Steele’s time in the organization.

As mentioned, this marks Zews’ return to Team Liquid, a team he coached from 2016-2018. Similarly, this report comes out just a few hours after rumors of Daps’ departure from Liquid increased, something that has baffled all team fans. However, this only tells us that Team Liquid seems to have noticed that their European foray did not go as they had hoped.

It should also be remembered that daps may have been the orchestra conductor of that “European adventure” of Team Liquid by signing Robert “Patsi” Isyanov and Aleks “Rainwaker” Petrov.

About Zews

Zews is one of the most experienced coaches in the Counter-Strike competitive scene, as those of us who are old school remember him from when he played for the Brazilian team, YeaH! Gaming, in CS 1.6. However, with the arrival of CS:GO in 2013, the Brazilian began to show signs that his level was declining, and in 2015, he decided to leap to coach.

Since then, he has coached teams such as Luminosity, SK Gaming, Immortals, Team Liquid, MIBR, Evil Geniuses and Fluxo.

On the other hand, there are also strong rumors that Liquid plans to bring back an American lineup, and the first signing could be Felipe “skullz” Medeiros. While it is true that it would be an international lineup, we all know that the South American style of play is similar to that of NA.

Similarly, we can only wait and analyze how the level of play and, above all, the adaptation of Skullz will be if this move is completed. However, if all these moves are confirmed, there is no doubt that Team Liquid is fully confident that this pair of Brazilians could give the team a leap in quality at the beginning of the CS2 era.
