Confirmed: YEKINDAR steps in for Team Liquid at IEM Cologne

The race for Mareks "YEKINDAR" Gaļinskis is temporarily called off after Team Liquid announced him as their replacement for Richard "shox" Papillon for the upcoming IEM Cologne next month.

The Latvian star was benched on Virtus.pro last month after a series of speculations about his future after the international situation had changed due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
