In EMEA Kickoff and Stage 1, the squad qualified for the first two international tournaments of the year, Masters Bangkok and Toronto. However, Team Liquid could not make it past the Group Stage at either event.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-6880b535b05ca\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>The team has also undergone several roster changes since the beginning of the year, including the departure of Maks \u2018<strong>kamyk<\/strong>\u2019 Rychlewski and, most recently, Serial. Team Liquid\u2019s run at Masters Toronto, in particular, was impacted by the delayed arrival of in-game leader (IGL) Ayaz \u2018<strong>nAts<\/strong>\u2019 Akhmetshin. Due to nAts\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/2025\/05\/liquid-nats-valorant-masters-toronto-visa-issues\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visa issues<\/a>, the team was forced to play its opening match with a last-minute stand-in, Erik \u2018<strong>penny<\/strong>\u2019 Penny.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-6880b535b0bd1\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>At VCT EMEA Stage 2, Team Liquid now hopes to qualify for the season-ending <a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/2025\/05\/valorant-champions-2025-venues-ticket-sale\">VALORANT Champions<\/a> tournament in September.
