Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski is back in Liquid blue. The 28-year-old American rifler has been officially registered on the team’s roster for Fragadelphia Blocktober, running October 2 – 5 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He takes the spot left open by Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken, who recently reunited with FaZe.

Ever since Twistzz’s FaZe return, whispers of EliGE rejoining Liquid have grown louder. Now, with the Fragadelphia roster list out, it’s official: the North American legend is back with the squad where he spent over eight years of his career. Fans will remember his peak in 2019, when Liquid dominated international Counter-Strike and EliGE was at the heart of it all.
A Rocky FaZe Stint
EliGE’s time with FaZe ended in August after the team benched him to make room for Jakub “jcobbb” Pietruszewski. Despite putting up a respectable 1.11 rating across eight months, FaZe never found their rhythm, and frustrations mounted during the first half of 2025. For EliGE, the return to familiar territory offers both stability and a chance at redemption.
Looking Ahead
Liquid have not yet made an official announcement, but registering EliGE for Fragadelphia all but confirms his comeback. Alongside the Philadelphia event, Liquid will also compete in the Birch Cup, a $25,000 LAN in Gdańsk, Poland, scheduled for September 26 – 28. With back-to-back events on the horizon, fans won’t have to wait long to see the new roster in action.

The return of EliGE not only brings nostalgia but also raises expectations. Can Liquid channel their former magic with one of NA’s greatest riflers back on board?
