Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi believes they are in better shape compared to this time last year as they prepare for their final pre-season match against A-League opposition.The Roar will field a near full-strength team for Tuesdays friendly against Perth Glory in Sydney, with new signing Brett Holman, star winger Tommy Oar and goalkeeper Jamie Young the only senior faces to sit out.Holman is still being eased into full training while Oar (groin) and Young (finger) are dealing with minor injuries.However, former Danish international Thomas Kristensen - the replacement for Brisbanes departed player of the year Corona - has overcome some recent knee troubles and will play.Weve had a bit of turnover but the core group is still here, Aloisi told reporters on Monday.If I look back and see where we were last pre-season to where we are, we feel were ahead.Weve changed a little bit, the way we play, but not too much. I feel were a lot more fluent than where we were, this time last year, when weve got the ball and defensively, were ahead.Its nice to see the progression of the group.Brisbane finished one game short of the grand final last season, losing 5-4 away to Western Sydney in their semi-final.The Roar only faced the Glory last month in the FFA Cup, losing 2-0 at Ballymore Stadium in the round of 32, but sought an extra pre-season game after their scheduled clash with Central Coast last weekend was washed out.They also face an NPL Queensland select team on Saturday before hosting Melbourne Victory at Suncorp Stadium in the A-League season opener on October 7.

North American League of Legends squad Team Liquid has reached out to Immortals to potentially acquire their jungler Kim Reignover Yeu-jin and support Adrian Adrian Ma, sources close to both organizations and players tell ESPN.com. No deal or decision has been made, with sources close to the players saying that they will likely opt to stay together regardless of their team destination during the winter offseason.Both Reignover and Adrians contracts last until Oct. 31, following the conclusion of the League of Legends World Championship finals. Reignover, formerly of European squad Fnatic, and Adrian, formerly of North American squad Team Impulse, competed with one another throughout all of 2016 on Immortals, which they joined last winter. The approach from Liquid comes after co-CEO Steve Arhancet said in a Discord AMA last week that the team will overhaul their roster.Weve given all our players permission to speak to other teams, Immortals CEO Noah Whinston tells ESPN.com. Such inquiries do not need to be directed through us.We will 100 percent be doing a roster overhaul for the League of Legends team, Arhancet said in the AMA. Its extremely disappointing results for the end of this season. Actually, its the worst reesults that weve ever had ever since I started everything in League.dddddddddddd So Im really disappointed, and I think that theres a number of reasons for that, but the outcome of it is that we have to take a look at players committed to the roster.Following the AMA, Arhancet penned a blog on the Team Liquid website stating that, If Liquid can do great things with limited cash flow, imagine what well do in 2017 when well be able to do so much more with less limitations.Arhancets funding comment refers to an increase in available budget that comes as a result of venture fund aXiomatic, led by Golden State Warriors co-owner Peter Guber and Washington Capitals and Wizards co-owner Ted Leonsis, purchasing a controlling stake in the team.While players are unable to sign with teams officially prior to Nov. 21, as limited by Riot Games, Liquid has already started making internal position changes for the 2017 season. Today, the team announced that it has replaced head coach Choi Locodoco Yoon-sub with its Challenger head coach David DLim Lim.Adrian, Reignover and Team Liquid declined to comment. ' ' '
