Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag has returned to Liquid to fill the vacant position of the team's coach left after the departure of Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado, the organization has announced.

The 28-year-old had previously been part of the organization for nearly a year and a half back in 2015 to 2016 as a player and most notably helped them reach the semi-finals of the MLG Columbus Major.
