ReIGN had a surprising run against coLMVP, going up 3-1 before inevitably losing 4 players in a row to coLMVP.Keen. After showing some great games in WR1, Liquid should be prepared for a real battle. Team Liquid fell into LR1 at the hands of a Swedish Protoss player that goes by the name of QxG.SaSe! They will be looking for a shot at redemption this time against ReIGN. Here are there full rosters:
