Team Liquid CSGO rebuild starts with rising AWPer oSee

Team Liquid have signed Extra Salt AWPer Joshua ‘oSee’ Ohm to start the org’s CSGO rebuild after benching Jacky ‘Stewie2K’ Yip, Gabriel ‘FalleN’ Toledo, and Michael ‘Grim’ Wince.

TL head coach Eric ‘adreN’ Hoag will slot oSee next to Jonathan ‘EliGE’ Jablonowski and Keith ‘NAF’ Markovic on the starting roster. The primary AWP role and in-game leader (IGL) responsibilities fell on FalleN before his leave from the team.

oSee was previously a part of Cloud9’s 2020 roster when the org acquired the ATK lineup for Flashpoint Season 1. After a few stints on open teams, the American AWPer will look to help revitalize Liquid CSGO.

“Coming into Team Liquid I’m honestly really excited,” he said. “It’s going to be a huge learning experience for me. I think we have a lot of firepower to be a top team.”

But 22-year-old oSee is already liking the direction of the team — which he thinks could lead to taking home some hardware in 2022.

“Everyone’s dream is to lift that Major trophy so that’s definitely something I would like to do,” he said. “Obviously that’s going to take a lot of work and time to get to that level, but I think we have the potential to lift that trophy.”
