Jimmy ‘DeMoN’ Ho joins Team Liquid

Having helped the struggling team to a nail bitingly close grand final showing in the recent StarLadder XI America qualifiers, Ho has been standing in for Liquid a number of times in the past weeks. Today's announcement wasn't really unexpected thus, as the team's form has been on the uprise following his period as a stand-in for the squad in multiple online tournaments.

Whilst it might have seemed obvious that DeMoN would band up with Liquid, there was still a lot of speculation surrounding where the North American Dota veteran would actually end up. Many expected that he'd join up with Steven 'Korok' Ashworth and Ioannis 'Fogged' Loucas newest endeavour North American Rejects, given Ho's current position in the American Dota community. In the end however, Team Liquid became the team of choice for the former EG player.

DeMoN on joining Team Liquid:

I would like to thank Team Liquid for giving me this opportunity to play under such a prestigious organization. This team has been in a slump for the past few months now and I hope I'll be able to lift their spirits high and rebuild the confidence they need as a team. BuLba and myself go way back and have lots of chemistry together and I want to build that same relationship within the whole team. It's going to take a lot of #hardwork and #dedication but I know in the long run it'll all be worth it. "Suffer the PAIN of Discipline, or Suffer the PAIN of Regret" #LiquidRising
