Jamppi remains the focal point of Liquid VALORANT, with a massive three-year extension:

Riot Games unveiled the Valorant esports 2023 format, which includes three regional leagues, a launch event, a Masters competition, and VCT Champs.

Jamppi and nAts, two of the players, have now agreed to contracts with Liquid that will last until 2026. Redgar and Soulcas have contracts through 2024, while Sayf, the primary duelist, has one through 2025. Except for the Master’s Berlin trophy that nAts and Redgar won while they were on Gambit, Liquid has yet to win an international VALORANT trophy. However, this year, Liquid did win the first VCT EMEA season trophy.

After a certain MVP candidate Leo from Fnatic, Jamppi was arguably the second-best initiator player in EMEA, but Liquid still managed to get even with Fnatic by defeating them in the EMEA playoffs championship series, which was the only series Fnatic had lost all year.

In their opening match against Natus Vincere at Champions, which resulted in a very close two-map series loss, Jamppi surprised everyone by breaking out both Neon and a surprising Chamber. The “Group of Death” for this tournament, which also includes LOUD and DRX, was formed by placing Liquid and NAVI. On Thursday, August 10 at 2 pm CT in LOUD, Liquid and Jamppi must come together in a win-or-go series against the defending world champions to even have a chance at a world championship this year.
