Team Liquid will play at IEM Krakow 2026 without their main player, Keith “NAF” Markovic, one of their most experienced players. NAF, the Canadian rifler, is missing the event because of urgent family reasons. The team shared this news on social media, asking fans to respect his privacy and offering support to him and his family.
Karim “Krimbo” Moussa will fill in for NAF at the event. The 23-year-old German rifler last played for BIG and has not competed since October 2025, when he was benched.
Liquid’s Roster for IEM Kraków
Team Liquid’s lineup for the IEM Krakow will be as follows:
- Roland “ultimate” Tomkowiak
- Guy “NertZ” Iluz
- Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek
- Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski
- Karim “Krimbo” Moussa (stand-in)
- Viktor “flashie” Tamás Bea (coach)
Liquid will start the event with a Play-In match against Ninjas in Pyjamas on January 28.
What This Means for Team Liquid
NAF has been a key part of Team Liquid’s CS roster for years, known for his consistent performance, clutch plays, and adaptability. His absence in Krakow is a big change as Liquid looks to move forward in one of the season’s first major international LAN events.
This event is a big chance for Krimbo. After being benched at BIG in late 2025 and spending months away from top-level play, filling in at IEM Krakow gives him a chance to show his skills on one of CS2’s top stages.
