Will Banned CSGO Pro Jamppi be Team Liquid’s saviour?

Luke Edwards

Riot Games’ Valorant Champions Tour in Iceland is the highlight of the Valorant esports calendar so far. But with so many quality teams, could once-banned CSGO pro Elias ‘Jamppi’ Olkkonen be the man to lead Team Liquid – and Europe – to victory?

Leading Europe’s hopes in Iceland is Team Liquid, who took down Fnatic in a hard-fought series to claim the VCT Masters 2 title.

Jamppi was a key part of Liquid’s victory. Having replaced Ec1s in the Liquid roster in February, Jamppi has since shown off what made him one of the most-hyped FPS players in the west.

Here, in the debut of our new show Curveball, Dexerto previews Valorant’s inaugural major international tournament, and whether Jamppi could be the difference-maker for TL.
