Counter Strike 2: NAF officially returns to Liquid current starting roster..

Dutch Counter Strike 2 (CS2) powerhouse Liquid announced on Saturday via their official X (Twitter) account that rifler NAF has officially returned to their current starting roster.

According to Liquid's official statement, NAF has returned to the club's facilities and participated in team training, actively preparing for the first stage of the ESL Pro League Season 23 Online Stage Stage 1 qualifiers, which begins today.

Liquid also confirmed that they will field their full starting roster for this Counter Strike 2 tournament.

Liquid will face Ukrainian powerhouse Passion UA in the match to be played later today.

This will be NAF's first appearance back in the Liquid roster since missing the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Krakow due to personal reasons.

At that time, NAF was absent due to "urgent family matters," but his Liquid teammates and NRG colleagues showed their support by sending him sloth plush toys, affectionately comparing the Canadian player to a sloth due to his easygoing personality.

During NAF's absence, BIG's stand-in Krimbo represented Liquid, helping the team defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP), but losing to G2 and FUT.

He achieved a 0.96 rating across seven maps in the tournament at Krakow.

In the BLAST Bounty match against Falcons, NAF played two maps, also achieving a 0.96 rating.

Liquid's roster is as follows:

Rifler: NAF

Rifler: NertZ

AWP-er: ultimate

In-Game Leader: siuhy

Entry Fragger: EliGE

Coach: flashie
