According to an ESPN Esports report by Jacob Wolf, Team Liquid are set to sign Alphari to their main League of Legends roster. Here below is the report:
Team Liquid set to sign Alphari – Who is Alphari?
21-year old Barney “Alphari” Morris is a professional League of Legends which specializes in the Top lane role. He has had quite an intermediate LoL career, as he started his pro career back in 2015 with Enigma Esports. Most of his successful moments were during the 2017 World Championship, when he was playing for Misfits and placed 5-8th. Not only that, but he also achieved a 2nd place during the 2017 Summer EU LCS.
Alphari joined Origen (now Astralis) back in late 2018, and has had some really good results with the squad. With this team, they placed 2nd in the 2019 Spring LEC, 1st in Rift Rivals of 2019, and 4th in the 2020 Spring LEC. Quite solid results if you consider the talents of both G2 and Fnatic rosters.
Why Alphari?
With current Liquid Top Laner Jung “Impact” Eon-yeong reaching the end of his contract, the team was instructed to find a new Top laner which fits their playstyle. Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen opinion on Team Liquid’s free agent options have been quite fundamental as he was the one that opted for Alphari. He is now looking to find a strong jungler to replace Broxah as his contract is coming to an end.
It will be very interesting to see these North American League of Legends changes come to this Liquid roster. After almost qualifying for groups at Worlds 2020, they have made it clear that the level of the team is there, and that all they need are just a few more tweaks to the lineup.
