Siuhy is creating a clear influence in Liquid, despite the fact that this team ranked last at Bucharest in his debut.

Liquid won the right to the first playoffs in Kamil "⁠siihy⁠" Szkaradek after defeating Natus Vincere in the last match of the IEM Melbourne group stage.

Earlier, the last time the team participated in a big stage was in Major Shanghai, and they only entered the playoffs round once in the last three tournaments before flying to Australia.

This series of matches is not smooth, typically a strange Round series when Keith "⁠naf⁠" Markovic accidentally shot his teammate Roland "⁠ultimate⁠" Tomkowiak, but later clutch successfully to "redeem" instead of the team's main gunner, who had Whiff all AWP ammunition.

However, after everything settled, Liquid was the team coming out with victory. They had a convincing performance on Anubis and started a 7-1 exploding on the Ancient decision map.

Siuhy was vindicated after "Bucharest disaster"

The most noticeable point in Liquid's Siuhy's recruitment deal is the question he can improve the game style that is the weakness of the team.

In Bucharest, they were eliminated with a 0-3 record, but Melbourne was a more accurate assessment. And everything is on the right track: Liquid ends the group stage with the win rate of 58.1% - the third highest in the tournament.

Siuhy personally ended the Ancient decision map with ADR 97 - a performance worth helping him to participate in the big stage, thanks to both skills and tactical thinking.

The ban on Mirage revealed the true face of Navi in ​​2025

All Natus Vincere matches in Melbourne have to drag to the third map. They need Decider before the lower teams like Mibr and Flyquest, and lose to Falcons and Liquid.

They led 11-3 on the second map with Falcons but lost, and even when leading 11-1 against Liquid on Inferno, Navi still struggled to end with the victory of 13-10.

The downhill screen since 2024 was clearly shown in Veto's turn. Liquid has a record of 0-4 on Mirage since Siuhy joined-and it was once the "intestine" of Navi. But it was Navi that the team proactively banned this map first.

Despite losing twice on Mirage in Australia (before Falcons and Flyquest), the fact that Navi must eliminate the map they still pick the most in 2025 (68.4%) is a clear evidence for their decline.
