Team Liquid Reveals New Apex Legends Lineup

In an exciting development for the world of esports, Team Liquid has marked its return to the Apex Legends scene through a collaboration with the gaming hardware giant, Alienware. This strategic partnership signals a new era for the team as they dive back into the competitive arena.

A New Beginning for Team Liquid Apex Legends

The esports powerhouse has made its way back to the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) by acquiring ZZ’s roster. This talented trio is set to compete at the 2026 Championship, showcasing their skills and determination on the global stage. Before joining forces with Team Liquid, the team played under the ZZ banner in the 2025 Split 2 Pro League Americas, where they impressively secured the runner-up position out of 30 teams.

The roster now competing under the Team Liquid Alienware banner includes:

– Rhys ‘Zer0’ Perry
– Nochilas ‘Sikezz’ Odom
– Nicholas ‘Fuhhnq’ Wall

Additionally, the squad will benefit from the expertise of Winnie ‘tiltedwinnie’ Long as their coach. With a background coaching for top-tier teams like NRG, Winnie is poised to elevate Team Liquid’s performance and strategic play.

Team Liquid has announced its return to Apex Legends in partnership with gaming peripheral brand Alienware.

Key Talent and Ambitions

One standout player in the new lineup is Zer0, renowned for his previous successes with Team Falcons. Alongside Phillip ‘ImperialHal’ Dosen, Zer0 claimed victory in the 2025 Split 1 Pro League in the Americas, triumphed in the 2025 Open, and secured a third-place finish in the Year 4 Championship. Zer0 expressed his excitement about joining Team Liquid, sharing, “Finally get to be with an organisation I grew up watching. Couldn’t be happier with how everything’s turned out. Time for [Team] Liquid Apex to actually win something.”

In a roster reshuffle, Team Liquid’s previous trio, including Luis ‘Neazul’ Enrique Ramos Suarez, Alexis ‘Jaguares’ Martinez, and Saul ‘YanYa’ Ocampo Plascencia, have been moved to inactive status, making way for fresh talent and renewed ambitions.

Team Liquid Heads to the Championship

Fans eagerly anticipating the squad’s debut can catch them in action at the upcoming ALGS 2026 Championship, set to unfold from January 15th to 18th, 2026, in Sapporo, Japan. This event will serve as the grand finale of Year 5 and the gateway to the new season. A total of 40 teams from regions across the globe, including Europe, Americas, and APAC North and South, will battle it out for a share of the lucrative $2 million (~£1.52 million) prize pool. Among the fierce competition, Team Liquid will face off against esteemed organisations such as Team Falcons, TSM, Alliance, and Gen.G Esports.
