Ari recounted how he was unexpectedly called to play for Team Liquid

Matthew “Ari” Walker said that he had no plans for the last day of PGL Wallachia Season 5, but the player was awakened by a large number of messages asking for help with Team Liquid's lineup, and an hour later, the esports player was playing a match with the team as a replacement for Aiden “iNSaNiA” Sarkoi.

The player shared this on X.

“I was just sleeping, with no plans for the day, and woke up to a bunch of messages about an urgent replacement. An hour later, I was already playing.”

According to Matthew “Ari” Walker, because the offer came out of the blue, he wasn't able to show his best form. Although the esports player wanted to play much better in the lower bracket final of PGL Wallachia Season 5, he is grateful to Team Liquid for the opportunity.

“Of course, I didn't show my peak performance, but I am very grateful to Liquid for this opportunity. It was fun to play, but I wanted to perform better.”

Earlier, Tobias “Tobi” Buchner, who replaced Aiden “iNSaNiA” Sarcoi in Team Liquid during the group stage of PGL Wallachia Season 5, shared his impressions of playing for the team.
