🕹️ mithR’s Time with Team Liquid and Legacy in CS

With nearly a decade of coaching experience, mithR has worked with several high-profile organizations, including Apeks, Mousesports, and North, beginning his coaching career back in 2016. He joined Team Liquid in mid-2024, making his debut at the BLAST Premier: Fall Groups, where the team secured a top-four finish.

Under his leadership, Team Liquid also placed 6th at the BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024, showcasing promising results. However, the team has faced challenges in early 2025, including a disappointing Group Stage exit at IEM Katowice 2025, which may have contributed to the coaching change.

As Team Liquid navigates this transition, fans will be watching closely to see who steps in to lead the squad moving forward.
