Enzo Mestari, a former player for Fnatic and Apeks, has reportedly agreed to join Team Liquid for the 2024 VALORANT season. After not securing a spot on a franchised team, Enzo played in tier two and showcased his skills in the Ascension EMEA finals. Now, he has the opportunity to return to the top tier of VALORANT and compete against his former teammates on Fnatic.
Enzo, known for his initiation plays, was a key player for Fnatic in 2022. His clutch performances in LAN environments, such as the one-vs-three defuse against Leviatán at Stage Two Masters, established him as a top initiator in the region. However, Fnatic couldn’t replicate their success at Champions 2022, leading to Enzo’s departure from the team.
Enzo joined Apeks as an in-game leader and led them to the Ascension EMEA finals in 2023. Although they were defeated by Gentle Mates, Enzo’s performance caught the attention of major EMEA teams during the offseason. Ultimately, Team Liquid secured his signing, adding another talented player to their roster.
With Enzo’s arrival, Team Liquid now faces a decision regarding their in-game leader position. Igor “Redgar” Vlasov currently holds the role and helped lead the team to regional success in 2023. If both players remain on the team, Liquid can choose between Redgar and Enzo as their leader. However, if Redgar decides to leave, Enzo can step into the role.
Overall, Enzo’s return to the top tier of VALORANT with Team Liquid promises an exciting season ahead. Fans can expect his initiation skills and clutch plays to make a significant impact on the team’s performance.
