nitr0: "YEKINDAR added to Liquid's firepower and brought his understanding of CS"

In a press conference for IEM Cologne 2022 participants, Liquid's in-game leader Nick "nitr0" Cannella spoke about how his team can benefit from having Mareks "YEKINDAR" Galinskis as a standin. According to the IGL, the newcomer gave the roster additional firepower.

Given our game at training sessions before the tournament, we will be very upset if we do not make it to the playoffs. YEKINDAR added to Liquid's firepower and brought his understanding of CS. I think now our team is in a very good position and confident in its strength.

Prior to IEM Cologne 2022, along with YEKINDAR, Liquid also brought in Damian "daps" Steele as a new coach. nitr0 believes that under the guidance of the specialist, the team's game has become more organized.

With daps, Liquid's game has become more structured than it was before. With shox we acted more freely, whereas now we have a plan for almost every round and know how to react to different situations during the match. Let's see what happens at the tournament.

Liquid will play their first match at IEM Cologne 2022 today, July 7, at 20:45 MSK. The opponent of the North Americans in Group B will be Team Spirit.
