Swedish offender Ludwig “zai” Wahlberg left Team Secret to join Team Liquid on Wednesday.
“Surprise! Welcome @ zai_2002 to the TL family,” Team Liquid wrote on Twitter.
The 24-year-old spent the last three years with Secret after previous visits with OpTic Gaming, The Dire and Evil Geniuses.
“I would like to thank my teammates and coaches for making the last three years some of the best years I have had in DOTA,” zai wrote in a statement on Twitter. “Not only have I learned a lot from all the players in this squad, but I have also had a fantastic interaction with everyone from day to day. We had some fantastic matches and tournaments and I am very proud of our success together.”
Last month, zai Secret helped finish in third place and take home $ 3.6 million at The International 2021.
“It’s a sad moment, but I have to accept that all good things end,” secret captain Clement “Puppey” Ivanov wrote on Twitter. “I have nothing but love for this man. He is not only a great and persistent teammate, he is also a great friend.”
zai joins a Team Liquid lineup with captain Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi, Michael “miCKe” Vu, Maximilian “qojqva” Brocker, Samuel “Boxi” Svahn and Tommy “Taiga” Le.
