Official: siuhy joins Liquid on loan

The Polish captain will take over in-game-leading from Twistzz in a trial period lasting until the end of the BLAST.tv Austin Major.

Liquid have announced the signing of Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek on a loan deal from MOUZ lasting until the end of the BLAST.tv Austin Major, confirming HLTV's earlier report.

The Pole will replace Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage on the roster and is also set to take over in-game-leading from Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken eight months after the Canadian assumed control from Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller.

The move comes after a period of unconvincing results for Liquid. The team made only one playoff appearance in 2025 at ESL Pro League S21 and consistently struggled to beat the world's biggest names.

Despite this, Liquid is set to receive a Stage 3 invite based on their placement as the No. 1 team on the Americas standings, something that will not change despite the team transitioning from a split between Americas and Asia to one between Americas and Europe.

The new-look Liquid will debut at PGL Bucharest, set to take place from April 6-13. siuhy's troops will begin their campaign against Legacy.

yeah but the thing is siuhy's rep isnt exactly that great. liquid have effectively pissed away a big part of the season already. they're not in a position to be fuckin up so they gotta tread careful, so trial period is the way to go for them.

I think it's much less about siuhys "rep". I think it's 100% about wasting money. If they do a trial period and plan to sign him anyways, the org avoids paying a large buyout. And this way, they can decide to go a different direction if necessary.

Likely want to trial him before committing to a purchase. It’s quite common and usually benefits both the player (stay playing at the top and show what you can do) and the orgs (pay much less for loan if things go wrong and you don’t want him)

Seems like a win/win for both parties. If it goes well they'll both be motivated to make a deal. If not, nobody has really lost anything - Siuhy still has his options open and Liquid avoids paying a big buyout (again). Maybe Liquid gives JKS to FlyQuest on loan and then if Siuhy doesn't work out they can just ctrl + z lol

They had the chance to pull the trigger. And who knows liquid might just outright sign him if things go well. They did it with yekindar as well. Also cadian and patsi roster taught me that liquid if very trigger happy about signing any random fuck (in this case its hopefully a good one) regardless of money.

why is liquid gonna receive an Americas invite? I thought that if a team had a split in regions Valve would count the stronger one for an invite, swear to god I read that somewhere

Pretty sure that rule means it goes by seeding. For example, NA has one spot for 3rd stage and liquid has it, but if liquid wasn’t #1 in NA and they only got stage 2 invite then they’d have to go through the strongest region of their roster split (Europe). Thats exactly what was gonna happen to wildcard so they subbed in stew for the major’s roster lock.

Finally a real IGL for liquid, now Twistzz can focus on hitting headshots. Twistzz back to top 20 soon, then we have twistzz nertz and hopefully NAF back in form, top 5 contender imo

If Twistzz did not respect Cadian, what chance with Siuhy it will be different? Not to mention mouz were right to bench him. I believe Twistzz only would respect Alexi, Karrigan, Apex, because they won a major, other igls are just not good enough and we will observe a conflict pretty early in this team.
