According to Sheep Esports, Team Liquid 's management decided to release APA as part of restructuring the roster before the new competitive cycle. After the disappointing results of the 2025 season, the club intends to completely revamp its lineup.

Currently, the organization has not announced a new midlaner; however, sources indicate that they are actively exploring the market and showing interest in players from South Korea —a trend observed among many LCS teams this offseason.

Ein joined the main roster of Team Liquid in 2023, rising from the organization's academy. In a short time, he became one of the most recognizable players in the league thanks to his charismatic communication style and confident gameplay.

During his time with Liquid, APA won the LCS championship title, became the winner of LTA 2025 Split 1, and represented the team in international tournaments. In 2024, he received the LCS Finals MVP (Spring Split) and Most Improved Player awards.

The 2025 season was less successful: the team faced a decline in form and internal issues. Liquid finished LTA Split 3 in sixth place and failed to qualify for the MSI and Worlds, marking a stark contrast to their previous achievements.
