After weeks of speculation that Liquid and CLG would make a trade, it has been confirmed that Liquid has acquired  Josh "jdm" Marzano from CLG in exchange for  Kenneth "Koosta" Suen. The swap is effective immediately which means that JDM will play for liquid at both ECS and ESL One Cologne. The same thing can be said for Koosta who will join CLG immediately. This is not the only move that Liquid plans to make as they have already announced the signing of a new player who will replace S1imple after the major.

Kenneth "koosta" Suen expressed:

“I can't wait to fly out to LA to see the team and prepare for my first ever major. I'd like to thank CLG for this opportunity, and I hope to make the most of it.”

Steve Arhancet, Co-Owner and Co-CEO of Team Liquid had the following to say:

“It's an honor to have Josh play for our team and organization. He is hungry, motivated and talented, and wants to win above everything else. Failure is not an option. Time to move in the right direction.”
