After only a short season, the Frenchman Steven “Hans Sama” Liv is already saying goodbye to the LCS. Arrived at Team Liquid at the start of the 2022 season with great hopes and during a period when many Europeans were exiled to the NA (toucouille at FLY, Bwipo at TL), the best botlaner of the last Worlds had to be one of the executives of the superteam announced by the American organization.
But 9 months later and a missed World Cup qualification, the honeymoon is over. A few days ago, rumors announced a return of the Frenchman to his country, and in particular to Karmine Corp to replace another star in the opposite direction: Rekkles would like to leave the structure of Kameto.
The Karmine Corp in LEC with Hans Sama?
It’s now official, Team Liquid announced on its networks that Hans Sama was no longer a team player on Monday evening. One more step therefore for the return of the player to Europe, and perhaps with the confirmation of play in the LEC if the KC finally gets its long-awaited slot. His recruitment could also be conditional on the promotion of the French club among the elite.
On the side of TL, if Hans Sama is the only one announced on the departure for the moment, management could dismantle their starting five, the superteam having ultimately not worked. Other players could thus leave the structure, or even the NA, like Bwipo, who also arrived at the start of the season.
