siuhy

Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek reached a Major final as an in-game leader at the age of 20. The Pole led GamerLegion to the grand final of the BLAST.tv Paris Major in 2023, then won three S-tier trophies with MOUZ and took the team to first place in HLTV’s world ranking in May 2024.

The years after were harder. MOUZ benched him in January 2025, and his 16 months with Liquid produced no trophies. On October 13, 2026, he joined Astralis as the in-game leader of the Danish organization’s first lineup without a Danish majority.

From Izako Boars to MOUZ NXT

siuhy started his professional career with Polish team Izako Boars in January 2020. He won ESEA Season 36 Advanced Division Europe with it in April 2021.

In June 2021, he joined MOUZ NXT, the academy team of MOUZ, and became a full-time in-game leader for the first time. The team won the first four seasons of the WePlay Academy League between August 2021 and June 2022, beating Young Ninjas, NAVI Junior and BIG Academy twice in the finals. Before the 2023 Paris Major, he told Pley that the academy years shaped him.

It was my first time being an IGL and growing from there, where I was also a sort of like mentor inside the team later on because I was the captain and I had to lead maybe younger players as well. And that also taught me something.

A Major final at 20

GamerLegion signed siuhy in September 2022. With a roster built around Frederik “acoR” Gyldstrand, Nicolas “keoz” Dgus, Isak “isak” Fahlén and iM, he qualified for the IEM Rio Major 2022 and then for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the last Major in CS:GO.

GamerLegion came to Paris as outsiders. The team went through the Challengers and Legends Stages, beat Apeks to reach the playoffs and knocked out Heroic in the semi-final. In the grand final on May 21, 2023, it lost 2-0 to Vitality. siuhy was 20 years old and the youngest player on his team.

Unlike many in-game leaders, siuhy also put up numbers. He had a 1.06 rating in 2023 before the Major, and he told Pley that the role made him a better fragger.

Instead, I focus on giving my team the best position every time. And whenever I focus on this, my fragging ability, my performance and me being impactful just comes naturally to me. I really like it this way, and that’s why I feel comfortable in this role.

Trophies and world number one with MOUZ

On July 3, 2023, MOUZ brought him back to the organization, this time to lead the main team. With Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás, Jimpphat, xertioN and frozen, he won ESL Pro League Season 18 in Malta less than three months later, beating NAVI 3-0 in the final on October 1, 2023. It was his last event in CS:GO, which Valve replaced with Counter-Strike 2 on September 27, 2023.

MOUZ also reached the final of CS Asia Championships 2023, and siuhy signed a multi-year contract extension in December 2023. After frozen left for FaZe, Brollan joined in January 2024, and the team reached the semi-finals of IEM Katowice 2024 and the quarter-finals of the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024.

The best spell came in the spring of 2024. MOUZ were runners-up to FaZe at IEM Chengdu, and then won ESL Pro League Season 19 in Malta, beating Vitality 3-0 in the final on May 12. siuhy had food poisoning days before the playoffs but was named one of the event’s EVPs by HLTV. A week later, MOUZ won BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 with a 3-0 final win over Team Spirit and moved to first place in HLTV’s world ranking.

MOUZ stayed among the best teams for the rest of 2024. They finished second at IEM Rio 2024 after a 3-1 loss to NAVI in the final and reached the semi-finals of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, where Team Spirit beat them 2-1.

Benched by MOUZ

On January 22, 2025, MOUZ benched siuhy. The organization cited “differing visions for the team’s direction”, and Brollan took over the calling. siuhy said goodbye on X the same day.

As of today, I am no longer apart of the MOUZ active roster. Due to the clashing visions, this decision will allow both sides to continue seeking success in their own ways. Thank you to everyone that I had the pleasure to work with, good luck!

He spent more than two months on the bench before Liquid took him on a trial loan on April 4, 2025.

A hard year in Liquid

Liquid had benched Justin “jks” Savage and parted ways with head coach Torbjørn “mithR” Nyborg, and Twistzz handed over the in-game leadership. “From the moment I joined the team he made it clear to me that I’m taking over,” siuhy told HLTV after his first event. The start was rough: Liquid lost all three matches at PGL Bucharest 2025 and finished last.

Liquid signed him permanently on June 11, 2025, days before the BLAST.tv Austin Major. The team went out in 15th to 16th place there, and again at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025. In between, Twistzz left for FaZe in a swap for EliGE. Liquid’s best results with siuhy were 5th to 6th at IEM Melbourne 2025, 3rd to 4th at FISSURE Playground #2 and 3rd at CS Asia Championships 2025.

2026 did not bring the turnaround. Liquid swapped NertZ for malbsMd in March, partly to qualify for the IEM Cologne Major 2026 as a North American team, and went out in 25th to 27th place after a 2-0 loss to FlyQuest. The team’s T sides were among the weakest in the top 30, according to Dust2.us. On July 21, 2026, Liquid benched siuhy and handed the calling to Johnny “JT” Theodosiou. siuhy called it his toughest year in CS.

He left the organization on October 2, 2026, and did not try to defend the results.

The results speak for themselves, it was never acceptable and something had to be done. As a competitor I always strive to get better, I have reflected and taken the experience needed to move forward.

A new start in Astralis

Eleven days later, Astralis announced siuhy and the Ukrainian Nikita “cmtry” Samolotov as replacements for the benched HooXi and jabbi. siuhy took over the calling from HooXi in a lineup with Staehr, phzy and ryu, coached by his compatriot NEO. Staehr was the only Danish player left, the first time Astralis had fielded a lineup without a Danish majority. Astralis were already on course for a place at the PGL Major Singapore in December 2026 through Valve’s regional rankings, according to HLTV.

The new lineup debuted at Stake Pulse Beat III in Stockholm on October 14, 2026, where it beat Sashi 2-0 and HOTU 2-1 to win its group.
