siuhy is on trial until after the Austin Major.
Volatile NA squad Team Liquid has opted for changes just two months out from the Austin Major, bringing in free agent in-game leader Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek. He'll replace Australian rifler Justin "jks" Savage and will free up Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken to return to a star role after a tumultuous eight months as IGL.
Also going is Torbjørn "mithR" Nyborg, who linked up with Liquid as coach last July. Since then, the squad has been incredibly inconsistent, showing glimpses of greatness but also finding losses against teams they should be beating handedly.

The departure from Liquid leaves jks likely out of a squad for the Austin Major unless another team opts for roster changes. However, with VRS invites yet to be locked in for the pinnacle event — plus his status as a bench player — it's likely the 29-year-old Australian will need to wait until July before finding a new home.
