Team Liquid have officially finalized their new roster for the 2025 season VCT EMEA's Stage 1, introducing key changes to their lineup. Maks "kamyk" Rychlewski has stepped down from the active roster, with Ryan "Shanks" Ngo joining the squad as his replacement, after his comeback from Retiring Esports.
Kamyk, who joined Team Liquid in 2025, played a crucial role in the team’s recent performances but has now parted ways with the roster. His departure opens the door for Shanks, one of Valorant’s most celebrated players, known for his mechanical prowess and game-changing impact. After competing in North America for years, Shanks now takes on a new challenge in EMEA, bringing his talent and experience to Team Liquid.
These changes come after a bad performance at VCT Masters Bangkok 2025, where Liquid struggled to find consistency. With a mix of young talent and experienced names, the team is aiming for a stronger presence in the international circuit.
Team Liquid will debut their new player at VCT EMEA Stage 1, where they will face Gentle Mates in their opening match.
Team Liquid are now:
🇷🇺 Ayaz "naTs" Akhmetshin
