Liquid welcome NAF back to lineup

Keith "NAF" Markovic is returning to the Liquid lineup after having missed IEM Krakow due to personal reasons. His homecoming has been confirmed by the teams’ latest posts, one of which shows the Canadian at their facility ahead of ESL Pro League Season 23.

During NAF’s absence, BIG bench player Karim "Krimbo" Moussa stood in for Liquid’s victory against NIP and losses to G2 and FUT, finishing the Krakow event with a 0.96 rating over seven maps. In his last two-map outing against Falcons in BLAST Bounty, NAF finished with an identical 0.96 rating.

While attending to undisclosed “urgent family matters,” NAF’s teammates at Liquid and peers at NRG showed their support by bringing sloth plushies on stage (NAF has endearingly been likened to a sloth for his easygoing personality).

Liquid's roster is once again:

Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic
Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz
Roland "⁠ultimate⁠" Tomkowiak
Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek
Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski
