After kicking off with LOCK//IN, an explosive São Paulo tournament that featured a raucous crowd and every team from around the world, VCT’s region-divided regular season is about to begin.

Team Liquid fell short at the VCT LOCK//IN in São Paulo after getting knocked out by Team Secret, but there is still plenty of VALORANT left to play in 2023.

Mathis "Jabbz" Friesel is an integral part of the Team Liquid’s Dota 2 lineup—but not in the way you might think. He doesn’t (usually) compete with the team, in the game, but works behind the scenes, as an analyst. Since 2020, he’s worked as an analyst and coach, building out Team Liquid’s drafts and strategies.

We sat down with Josh “oSee” Ohm to talk about his career, Liquid’s trajectory in recent months, what’s in store for the Pro League, and how all of it builds to the Major later this year.
