It is noted that the players basically switched teams directly with each other. In addition, this transfer allowed Team Liquid to change their region and take part in the IEM Cologne Major 2026. After returning to the NA region, the team will take the 7th place in the American VRS ranking.

The roster returned to the NA region for the first time since 2024, which means the team will not miss the Major this time, giving them a chance to fight for the championship title.
