Popular caster Moses joins Team Liquid CSGO as head coach Team LiquidShortly after the departure of head coach Eric \u2018adreN\u2019 Hoag, Team Liquid announced that longtime caster Jason \u2018Moses\u2019 O\u2019Toole would be stepping up to lead the org\u2019s CSGO squad going forward. Moses has been one of Counter-Strike\u2019s most recognizable personalities since he became heavily involved in the Global Offensive casting scene starting in 2015. Just turn on any random major CSGO event from 2015 on and there\u2019s a good chance he\u2019ll pop up somewhere. The veteran player and caster is a very interesting pick up as the new head coach for Team Liquid. If the North American org was looking for someone who knows their CSGO, then they really couldn\u2019t have done any better. The fan-favorite caster has been involved in the game in one way or another for over 20 years at this point and, by his own admission, has \u201clived and breathed Counter-Strike\u201d for the last five years. But, like every other coach and player in top-level CS:GO, the goal remains the same \u2013 to raise a trophy at a live major as the undisputed champions. Our journey towards reclaiming first place begins today. Welcome, @MosesGG pic.twitter.com\/PwBGkSJo1S \u2014 Team Liquid (@TeamLiquid) August 9, 2020 \u201cYou\u2019ve been a player, you\u2019ve been a commentator, what can you do when you\u2019re leading a team?\u201d the caster now-turned coach said in his reveal video. \u201cThat\u2019s the challenge that inspired me to take this on.\u201d As for Liquid\u2019s prospects under the banner of a new head coach, Moses seems confident the storied org can once again return to its winning ways and be a force to be reckoned with once live CSGO majors return. \u201cWe have an era of online Counter-Strike right now where everything\u2019s kind of uncertain. Everyone\u2019s talking about how the practice is inefficient, and the competition isn\u2019t quite there, isn\u2019t at the top level, so it\u2019s hard to improve and it\u2019s hard for a team to find its groove,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe short term goal has to be as getting this team as prepared as possible for when events return. Use this online time wisely.\u201d For reaching heights NA’s never seen before. For being an exceptional coach. And a wonderful teammate. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you, @adreN_Hoag pic.twitter.com\/rtQaLCyxuo \u2014 Team Liquid (@TeamLiquid) August 9, 2020 The arrival of Moses comes after the departure of former Liquid head coach adreN, who had been leading the team since late 2018 and was at the helm when they were the top North American team in ESL Pro League Season 11. It\u2019s been a big weekend for Team Liquid that all seemed to happen very fast, even so, it\u2019s safe to say the team is entering a whole new era with their fans, and those who enjoy CSGO in general, eager to see what Moses can do as head coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
