Biography and personal life
Born Keith Jordan Markovic on November 24, 1997, he adopted the alias “NAF” (an acronym for “nutty as fuck”) during his youth. He frequently competes under the tag “NAF-FLY” to honor Joshua “BRUNDLE-FLY” Switzer, a former Source-era teammate who tragically passed away in a hit-and-run accident in 2012. Outside the server, Markovic is an avid automotive enthusiast who fulfilled a long-held dream by purchasing a Nissan GTR in 2020. He also maintains a high-tier digital asset portfolio, collecting rare in-game skins, and shares his personal life with his German partner, Bianca Isadora.
Career history and notable achievements
Markovic emerged in late 2012 with mouseSpaz, navigating early organizations like Denial eSports and LunatiK before a brief, turbulent 2015 stint with Team Liquid. After capturing his first S-Tier trophy with OpTic Gaming at ELEAGUE Season 2 (2016) and a short tenure with Renegades, he returned to Team Liquid in February 2018. He has remained the franchise’s cornerstone ever since, surviving numerous roster overhauls – including the turbulent 2024 and 2025 international rebuilds -to anchor a 2026 lineup alongside siuhy, malbsMd, ultimate, and EliGE.
His crowning achievement is the 2019 Intel Grand Slam Season 2, where Team Liquid dominated the circuit in a record-breaking 63 days, demonstrating an era of unparalleled North American supremacy.
