Team Liquid is retaining Roland “ultimate” Tomkowiak as the starting AWPer for its Counter-Strike 2 squad, a decision that prioritizes both fan engagement and competitive stability.
Why ultimate matters to Liquid’s identity
Ultimate originally joined Team Liquid in August 2024, slotting into the AWPer role, which is the dedicated sniper position that often serves as the backbone of a team’s defensive and offensive setups.
His style leans aggressive yet controlled, a combination that’s notoriously difficult to pull off consistently at the highest levels of professional Counter-Strike.
Liquid’s current CS2 lineup now features ultimate alongside EliGE, malbsMd, NAF, and siuhy. That’s a mix of established veterans and newer faces, with EliGE and NAF bringing years of Tier 1 experience to a roster that’s clearly being built for long-term competitiveness.
