Liquid will compete in the Logitech G Play Connect in Warsaw with Vladan “VLDN” Radević on the roster. The Serbian player will temporarily replace Mario “malbsMd” Samayo—the Guatemalan player will be unable to participate in the tournament due to personal circumstances.
For Liquid, this tournament will mark their first LAN appearance since competing in the EWC open qualifiers, where the team reached the round of 32. The Warsaw tournament will take place immediately after the team’s intense battle for a spot at PGL Masters Bucharest.
VLDN has recently been playing as a stand-in. In 2026, he played a series of matches for various teams, and his average rating for the year currently stands at 1.10.
Radevich’s debut for Liquid is scheduled for Friday, September 18. The team’s first opponent will be INFINITE—the match will be a best-of-3 series. In total, Liquid will play five round-robin matches in the group stage, each of which will also consist of a maximum of three maps.
