Contract tenure map

Every Liquid contract since 2015

One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2015 to today. Current members sit on top with open contracts running to the right edge; former players follow in reverse departure order. Colour marks the status each period was held in, and a gap in a lane is time away from the organisation. Service counts starter, stand-in and coach periods; bench time is shown separately and never added to it (open contracts on the active roster average 2y 1m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with Liquid; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.

The Liquid file

Team Liquid is a professional esports organization founded in the Netherlands in 2000, and its Counter-Strike 2 team competes in the Americas region. As of November 2026 the team ranks 18th in the world and 16th in the Valve global ranking, with 33 weeks spent in the top 30.

The current starters are NAF, a rifler who joined on 5 February 2018 and has 1561 maps in tenure, the longest on the roster. EliGE, also a rifler, joined on 25 September 2025 with 179 maps. malbsMd joined on 13 March 2026 and has 86 maps. Jorko plays the AWP role after joining on 9 July 2026 with 51 maps, and JT became the in-game leader on 22 July 2026, also with 51 maps. Flashie is the coach, who joined on 9 July 2025 and has 231 maps in tenure.

The organization was formed in the Netherlands in 2000 as a StarCraft: Brood War clan, and it switched to StarCraft II during the beta in 2010. The team became one of the most successful foreign teams in that scene before it turned to Counter-Strike. On 13 January 2015 it was announced that the team had formed a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive division, and the roster's transfer history begins with nitr0 joining on the same day. NAF did not arrive until 5 February 2018, and the Counter-Strike roster was reshaped many times before the current group formed.

The late-2023 lineup was built around Twistzz, who joined on 7 December 2023 and left on 24 September 2025, and Cadian, who joined on 6 December 2023 and was transferred out on 17 September 2024. YEKINDAR joined on 18 October 2022 and left on 22 April 2025 after a second spell. Skullz left on 9 July 2024, and ultimate joined on 12 July 2024. NertZ joined on 6 January 2025, siuhy on 4 April 2025, and flashie joined as coach on 9 July 2025, the same day jks left. EliGE joined the roster on 25 September 2025, the day after Twistzz left. The coaching role changed hands in the same period: zews left on 25 June 2024, mithr held the role from 11 July 2024 until 28 March 2025, demars-derover coached until 9 July 2025, and flashie has coached the team since then.

NertZ was transferred out and malbsMd came in on 13 March 2026. On 9 July 2026 Jorko joined, and ultimate was benched on the same day; ultimate was transferred out on 11 August 2026. Siuhy was benched on 21 July 2026, and JT joined as IGL on 22 July 2026. The past roster shows siuhy's spell ending on 13 October 2026, so JT took over the in-game leader role from the summer onward. Three new players joined the roster in 2026, malbsMd in March and Jorko and JT in July, and ultimate and siuhy were both out of the lineup by 13 October 2026.

Liquid is 18th in the world ranking and 16th in the Valve global ranking as of November 2026, with 33 weeks in the top 30. The average player age is 25.5, and the roster combines a long-tenured rifler in NAF with several players who have arrived since mid-2025.
