At the start of 2024 Team Liquid's lineup of YEKINDAR, NAF, skullz, Twistzz and cadiaN seemed to be a winner. A few months in rumblings began that IGL cadiaN was on his way out and fans were surprised... and a little bit shocked. Fast forward to the player break: cadiaN is gone, skullz is heading to FURIA and coach zews has been let go as well. YNk joins  @Thooorin  and I to talk about what went wrong at Liquid and how (more like if) they can fix this before the next Major... or if fans need to wait another year to see their team rise up again.
