The fall was a rough season for CoreJJ, as he was visibly upset over Team Liquid’s loss at Worlds 2020. The team was eliminated in the group stage with a 3-3 record. This undoubtedly helps to turn things around for him..
“NA lost the shiniest star we had. And this star will become a new galaxy,” CoreJJ tweeted at the end of October.
