Mareks "YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis has officially been released from Team Liquid, ending his 801-day stint with the organization. This change represents a change in the team's lineup despite the second half of the season being quite good.

Join Liquid

⁠YEKINDAR⁠ joined Liquid in mid-2022 and quickly established himself as an aggressive player with the potential to become an in-game leader. However, despite some moments of success, including reaching the later stages of tournaments, the team failed to achieve consistency, leading to several changes in the squad.

YEKINDAR's achievements

When he was signed to the team, his rating was 6.4, while the following year in 2023, the rating was 6.1. This is not given much importance as he was able to help the team reach a new level. However, after switching to CS2, he did not play well, and in 2024 his rating was 5.9, and in the last three months it has dropped to 5.7.

Comment by YEKINDAR

YEKINDAR himself commented on the situation via social media, expressing gratitude for his time at Liquid.

As of today, I am officially eliminated and ready to accept the invitation. These two and a half years have gone by very quickly and I can confidently say that I have had the opportunity to play in the best esports organization. I am extremely grateful to all my teammates, staff and fans

Previously, YEKINDAR was considered one of the most promising players, showing great achievements and the ability to lead the team. However, the transition to CS2 has been a real challenge and his current form leaves much to be desired. Despite this, he still has every chance to redeem himself and return to his previous level. According to Leniniw, YEKINDAR could fit perfectly into Monte's squad, which would be an exciting continuation of his career.
