Twistzz promises to get WASD tattoo after winning next CSGO major

Team Liquid star Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken has made waves in the CS:GO community with an exceptionally confident prediction about his squad’s future performance.

The professional player took to Twitter with a commitment that captured everyone’s attention: “When we win the next major I’ll get WASD tattooed across my fingers on my left hand.”

What made this statement particularly noteworthy was Twistzz’s deliberate word choice—he didn’t say “if” but rather “when,” signaling absolute certainty about Team Liquid’s championship prospects.

This bold proclamation comes despite Team Liquid’s recent fifth-place elimination at the 2019 StarLadder Berlin Major, where rivals Astralis knocked them out of playoff contention earlier this month.

Team Liquid’s Berlin performance stands as an anomaly when examined against their otherwise spectacular 2019 campaign results.

The North American powerhouse secured championship titles at multiple prestigious events including Intel Extreme Masters XIV Chicago, ESL One: Cologne, ESL Pro League Season 9, DreamHack Masters Dallas, and Intel Extreme Masters XIV Sydney throughout the summer months.

This remarkable winning streak has firmly established Team Liquid’s position at the top of HLTV.org’s global team rankings with an impressive 903 points—maintaining a substantial 200-point advantage over second-place Astralis.

Even Astralis star Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz acknowledged Liquid’s dominance, publicly stating they remained the world’s best team despite Astralis claiming the Berlin Major championship.

The next CS:GO major

Despite the Berlin setback, Team Liquid now has approximately nine months to refine strategies and prepare for their next major championship opportunity.

Valve’s recently unveiled competitive calendar outlines four major tournaments through 2021, with the initial 2020 event scheduled for May 11-24, though the specific host city remains unannounced at this time.

The second major of 2020 is slated for November 1-14, maintaining the traditional biannual major schedule that has defined CS:GO’s premier competitive events.

The 2021 championship schedule mirrors this pattern with tournaments planned for May 10-23 and November 1-14 respectively.

Several elite squads have already secured their positions in these upcoming majors, including Team Liquid, Astralis, AVANGAR, NRG Esports, Renegades, Team Vitality, Natus Vincere, and ENCE based on their previous performances and qualifying results.

While the first of these four championship events remains several months away, the extended preparation period provides Team Liquid valuable time to address strategic weaknesses observed in Berlin.

The competitive landscape features established rivals and emerging challengers, creating a dynamic environment where preparation and adaptation will prove crucial for success.

The CS:GO community will undoubtedly hold Twistzz to his unconventional pledge, eagerly anticipating both Team Liquid’s potential championship victory and the fulfillment of his keyboard-inspired tattoo commitment.

This extended timeline between majors represents both opportunity and pressure—ample time for strategic development but heightened expectations given Twistzz’s very public confidence declaration.
