Team Liquid Owner Explains Why They Picked Vivid Over Strafesh0t for the Main Fortnite Pro Team The recent addition of Noah \u2018Vivid\u2019 Wright to Team Liquid\u2019s pro Fortnite team has led to some necessary roster realignment for the organization. Vivid has been placed directly in the main squad, joining players 72hrs, Poach, and Chap, with Strafesh0t having now been relegated to a different role within the team. In a video released on August 30, co-CEO and co-owner Steve Arhancet explained the thought process that went behind making this decision. \u201cA lot of the community sentiment so far has been like \u2018oh he\u2019s benched, he\u2019s not on the team.\u2019 I just want to clear that up. We approached Strafesh0t and said \u2018hey look, if there are squad events [\u2026] then we\u2019re going to go with the most competitive roster that we can and that may not include you.’\u201d However, Arhancet did emphasize that Strafesh0t was still very much part of the overall scheme of things, even if he wasn\u2019t on the main squad, although the door is always open for him to pursue better opportunities should he receive offers from other orgs. \u201c\u2018But, if you want to continue being part of Team Liquid as an organization, we\u2019re here to support you man. We made an agreement on a contract that if you\u2019re putting in everything that you can and we\u2019re going to be here for you.\u2019 He will continue with Team Liquid, he has the opportunity to go chase other offers and other teams. [\u2026] W\u2019re going to stay fluid, so like what events may come in the future and he\u2019s also interested in maybe going into a coaching role.\u201d Regardless of how the roster gets aligned moving forward, few can deny that the addition of Vivid has strengthened the squad considerably. The players have already proven they can find success with their new teammate as several of them have teamed with him and placed well in past Summer Skirmish tournaments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
