Former TSM mid laner and head coach Bjergsen has joined Team Liquid as the LCS starting mid laner for the 2022 season.
A nine-year veteran of the professional League of Legends scene, Bjergsen previously played mid lane for seven seasons with TSM between 2014 and 2020. Last season, he moved into the head coaching role at the organization, but chose not to renew his contract.
“I think [Team Liquid] is really similar to me in many ways,” Bjergsen said in a promotional video released by Liquid today. “They really care about winning. Winning is their number one priority and I think they have a lot of respect for the esports craft and League of Legends, which is something that really resonates with me.”
Liquid's 2021 mid laner Jensen is still under contract with the team until 2023. Its fate remains uncertain at this time as all teams except the two LCS teams, Dignitas and TSM, have officially announced their 2022 mid laners.
A four-time LCS MVP, Bjergsen will make his debut with Liquid when the LCS returns for the annual Lock-in tournament on January 14.
