Team Liquid sign Wisper as new offlaner

Wisper will take over as Team Liquid's offlaner from Ace, who parted ways with the team earlier this month.

Western European Dota 2 powerhouse Team Liquid announced on Sunday (20 September) that they have signed Adrian “Wisper” Cespedes Dobles as their new offlaner. Wisper will be taking over from Marcus “Ace” Hoelgaard, who parted ways with Liquid earlier this month.

Wisper has long been considered the best offlaner to come from South America, and one of the best players in his position in the world. While Wisper has competed with South American teams for most of his career, he is no stranger to competing in Europe, having previously played under OG from November 2023 to January 2025.

Wisper last played for LGD Gaming and finished The International (TI) 2026 in 9th-13th place after narrowly losing to Team Yandex in the Elimination Stage. Wisper became a free agent shortly after the conclusion of TI 2026 as LGD released its roster once their contracts expired.

Liquid sign Wisper after a solid performance in the 2025-2026 competitive season where they won two Tier 1 tournaments in BLAST Slam VI back in February and 1win Essence II in early August. The team finished TI 2026 in 5th-6th place after losing to eventual champions Team Spirit in the lower bracket quarterfinals.

With Wisper joining the team, here's Liquid's roster for the 2026-2027 season:

1. Micke “miCKe” Vu
2. Michał “Nisha” Jankowski
3. Adrian “Wisper” Cespedes Dobles
4. Samuel “Boxi” Svahn
5. Erik “tOfu” Engel
6. William “BlitZ” Lee (coach)

Liquid is set to debut its new roster in BLAST Slam VIII, which is set to take place from 29 September to 11 October. While BLAST Slam VIII will not be the first tournament of the new season, it will be its first Tier 1 event. Aside from Liquid, the tournament also features many of the other top-tier teams in the scene including reigning TI champions Spirit, PARIVISION, Team Yandex, and Aurora Gaming, among others.

Liquid's signing of Wisper is the latest major roster change in the ongoing post-TI 2026 roster shuffle. Check out GosuGamers' post-TI 2026 roster shuffle tracker to keep track of how the competitive Dota 2 landscape will look like for the 2026-2027 season.
