Today, we’re officially parting ways with @Sliggy_, one of the founding members of our VALORANT squad.
Connor, with your expertise, we built one of best VALORANT teams in the world. We'll always be grateful for your guidance and support. Thanks for the memories! #LETSGOLIQUID pic.twitter.com/u5BqFe6JhY

This dude is for sure getting picked up for franchising
The people’s coach
As always with coaches, it is hard to say exactly what Sliggy’s impact was on Liquid. However, given that they did so well despite having consistent IGL issues, I have to conclude he did a lot for them in terms of developing their gameplan. Regardless, I’ve really been enjoying his costreams, and it’s evident he’s got an excellent mind for the game–he’s a great pickup for any team that makes franchising and needs a proven coach.
End of an era in a sense, although it’s obviously been over for months now. Sliggy was maybe the most identifiable coach for the first two years of Valorant, alongside Mini on FNATIC maybe?
People maligned him at times for comp stuff but I genuinely think he carried Liquid for a long time by giving them robust enough game-plans to obscure their poor mid-rounding. And I really respect how much he focused on expanding soulcas’ and L1nk’s agent pools; he turned two very limited players into two of the best flexes in all of EMEA.
Curious to see where he lands, as fun as his streams are for everyone involved I’m sure he’ll be aiming for franchising.
I’ve been watching sliggys watch party’s for a while and his valorant knowledge is something I could never achieve. I can’t wait to see what team picks him up.
Sliggy is so handsome. Wishing him the best.
I’m sure he will find work come 2023 or even late 2022 going into franchising.
I want to see him at the analyst desk.
Sliggy for a caster!!
I wonder why he was signed for so long? I swear he hasn’t been with them since before last lcq
Edit: I’m dumb
Wishing him the best. I’m just gonna enjoy it while he can still co-stream matches.
A coach who can genuinely bring a team places just by comp and strat setups, he would be a huge pickup for any struggling team with issues. C9, Sentinels, and maybe one of the other lower Tier 1 teams in NA could use him. I don’t know much about how the coaching is in EMEA besides the top teams who’s coaches seem good enough to take them to wins.
Really wish he had signed for sentinels when they first started looking for a coach
Perhaps the most overrated coach in the world
why drop him right now? sliggy stream definitely way better than any random creators, good brand
