Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek Signs With Team Liquid
After weeks of speculation and anticipation, Team Liquid has officially announced the signing of Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek to bolster their Counter-Strike 2 roster. This strategic move comes shortly after the organization bid farewell to Justin “jks” Savage, highlighting Liquid’s commitment to evolving their lineup in the competitive esports landscape.
Siuhy, a highly regarded Polish in-game leader, has joined Team Liquid on a trial basis from MOUZ, beginning with the PGL Bucharest 2025 event and extending through the BLAST.tv Austin Major. The announcement was made via Team Liquid’s official social media channels, underscoring their excitement for this new chapter in their journey.
Roster Update: @siuhycs will be joining Team Liquid CS on a trial from @mousesports starting at PGL Bucharest and through the BLAST Austin Major.

Siuhy’s loan will last until the conclusion of the BLAST.tv Austin Major, during which Team Liquid will evaluate his impact on the team before potentially extending his stay. This represents a significant opportunity for Siuhy, who has been out of action since stepping down from MOUZ after a disappointing last-place finish at the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier.
His addition marks the first major roster change for Team Liquid since the arrival of Guy “NertZ” Iluz in January, aimed at capitalizing on their success at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. However, the team struggled to maintain momentum, with only one top-eight finish recorded since January, specifically at ESL Pro League Season 21.
The decision to integrate Siuhy into the lineup was motivated by a prolonged period of underachievement, highlighted by a solitary knockout stage appearance in 2025. As he steps into the leadership role, Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken will transition out of the captaincy, bringing his eight-month tenure as in-game leader to a close. This bold roster overhaul comes just two days ahead of Team Liquid’s participation in the PGL Bucharest 2025 tournament, where they aim to reclaim their footing and secure their first LAN victory since claiming gold at the BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024.
Despite the excitement surrounding this roster change, betting markets indicate that Liquid is not favored to win the PGL Bucharest tournament, currently priced at $8.00 across major Counter-Strike 2 betting platforms. With only a 12.5% implied probability of winning, the pressure will be on Siuhy and his new teammates to demonstrate their potential and resilience amidst these challenges.
As Team Liquid embarks on this new journey, they will be closely monitored by both fans and analysts alike for their performance in the upcoming event. The esports community eagerly awaits to see how this shift in dynamics will influence their gameplay and overall outcomes.
Stay tuned for updates as Team Liquid strives to overturn their recent streak and establish themselves as a formidable force in the competitive gaming arena.
