CoreJJ Signs With Team Liquid

CoreJJ will be replacing Kim "Olleh" Joo-sung on the Team Liquid League of Legends NA LCS roster for the upcoming 2019 season. The addition of CoreJJ to the roster adds major firepower and World Championship experience to the NA LCS roster, as CoreJJ joins Team Liquid top laner Jung "Impact" Eon-yeong as the two players on the squad who have won a League of Legends World Championship. 

"Doublelift is the main reason behind my decision to join Team Liquid. I know for a fact that Doublelift is a good player as he always attends Worlds, and I believe we can both improve together by having a good relationship," said CoreJJ in the official announcement of the high profile roster move.

Team Liquid adding CoreJJ to its roster is not the only major roster change that the organization has made in the very early days of the offseason, as Monday, November 20th saw the organization acquire former Cloud9 mid laner Nicolaj "Jensen" Jensen. 

With the signing of a 2017 World Champion in CoreJJ and a 2018 top four Worlds finisher in Jensen this offseason, Team Liquid has shown that it is not playing around and is ready to continue its dominance in the NA LCS while also determined to achieve a great deal of success on the international level this next season.
