Team Liquid contract ends with Jimmy ‘DeMoN’ Ho

Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho has had a rough road since leaving Evil Geniuses after TI3, and while he has re-discovered his love of the game and has worked hard to improve and impress, he struggled to find a place on a top team, with many fearing that he was still unrepentant in his overly aggressive ways. Joining Team Liquid as they were in their greatest slump to date was then a chance for him to show that he could be a part of building up a team, and that his glimmers of talent we had seen through-out the year were more than just an illusion.

For a while it looked as if Team Liquid would not find their footing in time with DeMoN, who had assumed the moniker 'Pegasus' for his stint with the team. Through trialing various lane configurations DeMoN ended up back on the offlane position for Liquid and proceeded to play an important part in Team Liquid's eleventh hour form which carried them through the Wild Card and even had them threatening a Top 8 finish, before ultimately coming up short against LGD.

As DeMoN initially joined the team as a support, word is that he struggled to find a common tune with Peter 'wayto' Nguyen, which ultimately forced Sam 'Bulba' Sosale onto the supporting role instead. This problem is likely to have played a part in why the team and DeMoN ended up parting ways, as with more time on their hands the team is likely to want to look for a full time support to flesh out their roster, allowing Bulba to return to the offlane position.

No further word has been released about what other changes may come to the Team Liquid roster, nor has DeMoN indicated in any way what his future destination may be.
