After a couple of successful years as a professional VALORANT coach, Team Liquid’s Connor “Sliggy” Blomfield had decided to take a break from his stint in 2022. But he never returned, transitioning to a full-time content creator and co-streamer instead—despite having four coaching offers from VCT teams in hand.
In a recent interview, Sliggy revealed that he had plans to return to coaching pro VALORANT teams in 2023, but decided to continue observing and streaming esports games because it “went so well.” “Liquid offered me a content creator contract at the same time teams were offering me coaching contracts,” he said. “I weighed my options, and I was just like, I enjoyed the six months of just costreaming so much that I re-evaluated my three to five-year goals.”
