]]>This signing follows the addition of Polish AWPer Roland “ultimate” Tomkowiak and the appointment of new head coach Torbj?rn “mithR” Nyborg, marking a significant overhaul after a disappointing first half of 2024.
The decision to rebuild came after the team��s underwhelming performance, including a 5th-6th place finish at IEM Chengdu 2024 and missing out on the Esports World Cup 2024.
The management responded by parting ways with key players Casper “cadiaN” M?ller, Felipe “skullz” Medeiros, and coach Wilton “zews” Prado, while retaining core members Keith “?NAF?” Markovic, Russel “?Twistzz?” Van Dulken, and Mareks “?YEKINDAR?” Ga?inskis.

jks, a two-time HLTV Top 20 Player, has been out of action since November, when he was removed from G2 Esports’ starting lineup.
He brings a wealth of experience, having secured titles such as the 2022 BLAST Premier World Final, IEM Katowice and IEM Cologne in 2023, during his 18-month stint with G2.
“I’m happy to be back and excited to be a part of this team,” jks expressed on X.
“Thank you, Liquid, for the opportunity.”
Ultimate, only 20 years old, is seen as a promising young talent to fill the AWPer role.
He previously played for Illuminar Gaming and helped them achieve a 2nd place finish at CCT Season 2 European Season #5.
With these additions, Liquid’s roster includes players from both Europe and North America, along with one from the Asia-Pacific region, giving the team some flexibility in qualifying for the upcoming Shanghai Major.
Their new lineup will debut at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups from July 29 to August 4 in Copenhagen.
This revamped roster aims to bring new energy and improved results, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
Welcome @ultimatecs_go to Team Liquid CS
We believe that this young, aggressive AWPer is ready to prove himself and will compliment the other players on our roster with his playstyle.
Welcome to the big leagues, Roland
