Team Liquid are in talks with German rifler Karim "Krimbo" Moussa from BIG. According to insider German Cs Leaks, the sides are close to reaching an agreement, with the move expected to happen after IEM Cologne Major 2026.
Krimbo is still listed under BIG, but he has not been part of the main roster since October 2025 and remains on the bench. For Liquid, this could be a targeted post-Major roster move: the organization has already worked with him during his stand-in appearance at IEM Krakow 2026.
At IEM Krakow 2026, Krimbo stood in for Keith "NAF" Markovic on Liquid’s roster. The team finished 17th-20th, but Liquid’s renewed interest suggests Moussa remains a serious option for a roster update.
IEM Cologne Major 2026 will take place from June 2 to 21 on LAN in Germany. The tournament will feature 32 teams competing for a $1,250,000 prize pool. Predictions for the tournament’s matches are available on Winio - our predictions for 13 out of 16 tier-one events have been correct so far.

9z finished their XSE Pro League run with a 3–0 win over PARIVISION in the grand final, claiming their first notable international LAN title. The result is important not only because of the trophy itself, but because of how the team reached it: 9z did not dominate the event from start to finish, but adapted after early losses and improved through the playoff stage.
Aurora have completed their international rebuild by signing Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski as in-game leader.
HEROIC completed their rebuild by signing Brollan and MartinezSa, giving the roster clearer roles. The team now looks stronger on paper, but its real level depends on communication and how quickly the new system works.
HEROIC’s rebuild goes beyond xfl0ud, with more changes likely coming. It may improve roles, but makes the team harder to judge for now.
Xinsai Esports apologized for XSE Pro League Guangzhou’s delays and technical issues. Until the event stabilizes, results should be judged carefully.
Aurora’s international rebuild now has a clear direction after signing coach ash and rifler Jimpphat. The project looks more structured, but the final IGL signing will decide how strong the new roster can become.
Aurora’s rebuild is now real, with MAJ3R stepping down and soulfly moving to the bench. The team still has strong firepower, but losing its coach, IGL, and support structure creates major uncertainty.
