Jensen leaves Team Liquid after 3-year $ 4.2 million contract

Danish League of Legends esports player Nikolai Jensen Jensen is no longer a member of Team Liquid. The news came from a tweet from the organization, in which the management thanks Jensen for the past participation in the tournaments and wishes him success in his future endeavors.

The reason for Jensen's departure from Team Liquid is still not known. At the end of 2020, they managed to sign a 3-year contract with an amount of $ 4.2 million.Jensen has not yet announced the further development of his career, but according to one interview at the end of the 2021 World Championship, he hinted that he might leave LCS and move to another region.

We've been seeing Jensen in the pro games scene since 2012. He was a midlane for Team SoloMid and SK Gaming, spent several seasons at Cloud9, and joined Team Liquid in November 2018. As part of the latter team, Jensen won both splits in 2019, finished second at the Mid-Season Invitational 2019, and was elected to the World Championship three times. In November of this year, Team Liquid also signed a contract with another mid lane from Denmark - Soren Bjergsen Bjerg, who had been playing for TSM for about seven years. Perhaps that is why Team Liquid so easily terminated the contract with Jensen.
