Team Liquid may change its captain in the CS2 roster. According to the Dust2.us portal citing several sources, the organization is in the final stages of negotiations for the transfer of Johnny JT Theodosiou from Passion UA.
If the deal goes through, JT will take on the role of in-game leader instead of Kamil siuhy Szkaradek. The Polish captain, according to insiders, will move to the bench – he has led Liquid since April 2025.
The transfer makes sense from a roster perspective: Team Liquid already has Jonathan EliGE Jablonski, with whom JT played for several years in Complexity. At the same time, Liquid, according to Dust2.us, is also considering options to replace sniper Roland ultimate Tomkowiak – but this search is still in an earlier stage.
The decision to change the captain is related to Team Liquid's disappointing season. The team did not make it to the playoffs of any S-tier tournament in 2026 and was eliminated in the Stage 1 of the IEM Cologne Major 2026. In the Valve Regional Standings, the team has dropped to 38th place in the world.
Officially, neither Liquid nor Passion UA have confirmed the transfer yet.
