After days of speculation, Team Liquid have released a statement discussing Wilton "zews" Prado's presence on the team as their current head coach for Northern Arena, saying he may stay on permanently.

"Yesterday you may have noticed – and hopefully to your excitement – that Wilton ‘zews’ Prado is at Northern Arena with us," the statement reads. "We wanted to shed a bit of light on the situation, and what will happen next is to be determined.

"We’re going to be looking and evaluating our options in this period, but we believe our team deserves a good coach and with zews having proved he’s a world-class coach we’re very fortunate to have the opportunity to be working with him for the upcoming period and possibly permanently as well."

zews was recently replaced on Immortals' CS:GO roster by Lucas "steel" Lopes and responded to the news by saying he planned on returning to coaching. He has previously been a coach for teams such as SK Gaming and Games Academy.

Team Liquid were eliminated from the group stage at Northern Arena with a 1-2 record after being defeated by Heroic and G2 Esports.
