Wilton "zews" Prado has announced over Twitter that Liquid will be attending ELEAGUE Premier 2018 without him due to health issues forcing him to return home to Brazil.

While it has not yet been confirmed whether Liquid will be running without a coach for the event, it is likely the team will use their manager Steve "jokasteve" Perino as a stand-in coach. jokasteve previously stood in as Liquid's coach at the ELEAGUE Major 2018 Americas Minor, due to zews' visa being denied.
