Justin “jks” Savage has been removed from Liquid’s active lineup with immediate effect, the organization confirmed on Thursday.
Replacing the Australian veteran is Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek, who joins Liquid on loan from MOUZ. His trial will begin at PGL Bucharest and extend through the BLAST.tv Austin Major.
The 22-year-old Pole is set to take over the in-game leader duties from Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken.
Short stay for jks
The decision comes just nine months after jks joined Liquid as part of the team’s ambitious rebuild, alongside Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken, Roland “ultimate” Tomkowiak, and new head coach Torbjørn “mithR” Nyborg.
Now, both jks and mithR have been benched, with the coach being let go last week.
Looking at the numbers, jks has been Liquid’s lowest-rated player in 2025, holding a 0.96 rating across 40 maps this year.
The new Liquid side will get its debut on Sunday at PGL Bucharest when they take on Legacy.
