Congrats on making Stage 2; how do you feel like you did in Stage 1?
It was hard because we're just a new team, and we have some struggles on new maps. We're just working on them, working on default. We try to not us all rounds which we prepared for LAN, we just tried to see how people are playing and get more comfortable for Stage 2.

Jorko, nEMANHA among eligible players for HLTV Rookie of the Year 2026
Liquid AWPer Georgi "Jorko" Mitev Wildcard's IGL Nemanja "nEMANHA" Đukić have been named as eligible for the HLTV Rookie of the Year award.
Jorko got his shot at T1 CS with Liquid, where he replaced Roland "ultimate" Tomkowiak. nEMANHA, on the other hand, signed with Wildcard from illwill amid the NA team's 2026 rebuild.
Liquid's Bulgarian AWPer has held his own for the NA side since joining in July. Jorko has averaged a 1.04 rating in 87 maps played.
nEMANHA has shown that age is just a number, as the Serbian is up for the Rookie of the Year award at the age of 29. The criteria for rookie of the year has nothing to do with age, though. One becomes eligible for the award in their breakout year in tier-one CS.
