Since Nivera tested positive from a PCR test, and should he play from his hotel: would that hurt Liquid's morale or would they be fine and go back to dominating?
I don't think it matters. Liquid is really high energy team and obviously they would have that LAN brother buff, but I think they should still be fine. It could also motivate them since Nivera could get to play on LAN as long as they make it out of groups. And its hard to say how Nivera would play on LAN anyway. Is he shaky or possibly even better. Obviously this can be bad thing if they go to playoffs with Nivera playing on LAN for first time.
