Team Liquid is now ready to welcome Boxi back to the roster right in time before The International 10’s qualifiers.

William “Blitz” Lee announced today that Samuel “Boxi” Svahn will be back to the team after was declared inactive to take “time away from Dota to be with his family” back in April.

In SumaiL’s presence, Liquid finished second in the upper division of DPC Season 2 (EU). Their strong run earned the team a direct seed to the group stage of the ongoing AniMajor.

Boxi In, SumaiL Out!

On Twitter, Blitz clarified that SumaiL only joined the team as stand-in. He also told that all speculations that SumaiL was trialed for a permanent post were untrue.

“Boxi will be returning for the TI qualifiers. As stated beforehand, it was his choice to take the break and his choice to come back. There has been some speculation that we were trying to see who we would do better with but that could not be further from the truth. Boxi took some much needed personal time off and is now ready to play once again. I hope people are understanding and try not to speculate about his break too much,” the coach clarified.

“Thank you to [SumaiL] for helping us during our time of need, I wish we could have gone further but it was an absolute pleasure. Our results [at the WePlay AniMajor] were absolutely not his fault and he performed incredibly well under the circumstances. The team will root for you wherever you go!” he added as gratitude for SumaiL’s exemplary performance in their recent games.

Despite having a good run in DPC Season 2, Liquid was denied from a TI invite following their poor AniMajor performance.

This time, Liquid is up to face OG, Tundra Esports, and other squads for the elusive TI invite. The said qualifiers will be held on July 7-10.

SumaiL’s First The International Absence

SumaiL on the other hand will be sitting out on the upcoming TI. This, unless he gets picked up by another team before June 12 where the roster lock will ensue.

The superstar’s absence on the upcoming TI will be his first since 2015 where he won his first TI championship with EG.
