The 2023 Summer Split hasn’t been perfect for Team Liquid, with the perennial LCS champions sitting in fourth place with a 7-5 record. Their League of Legends team has been searching for consistency since, and after trading out mid laners halfway through the season, it looks like the roster is on the right track with back-to-back wins.
Liquid’s rookie mid laner Eain “APA” Stearns has been in the North American development system since 2019, jumping from various teams as he built his résumé on the way to his first shot at a major esports organization. The 21-year-old finally made his LCS debut this past week and made the most of things by going perfect in his matches against Immortals and 100 Thieves.
