Former Natus Vincere player jL, who is currently on the bench, has been playing practice matches with Team Liquid. This can be seen on the Pracc.com website. It’s worth recalling that the Lithuanian was replaced by makazze after the BLAST Austin Major. Since then, he has remained inactive. Although there were rumors about him joining various teams, none of them actually materialized.
The Lithuanian hasn’t disappeared from the media space either. While there were months with little news about him, he still streams on Twitch, makes videos on YouTube, and stays active on Instagram.
At the moment, the fact that he has been spotted in Team Liquid’s practice group looks quite significant. Especially considering that the team currently isn’t even in contention to qualify for the Major, which is a very poor result for a club of this caliber. Because of that, the Lithuanian could be considered as a potential reinforcement.
For now, it is still unknown who he could replace, and when his possible debut for the “horses” might happen.
