Team Liquid will be without the latest addition to the team at the upcoming ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.

Neta "33" Shapira joined Team Liquid in the post-TI12 shuffle, but won’t be able to compete with his new team at the first tournament of the 2024 season due to travel restrictions imposed by the Malaysian government on Israeli citizens. In his place, Team Liquid will arrive at ESL One Kuala Lumpur with Shopify Rebellion’s offlaner Jonáš "SabeRLight-" Volek.

Team Liquid are one of the two Western European teams qualified for the $1,000,000 tournament which is a part of the 2024 ESL Pro Tour. WEU is represented by three teams in total, Team Secret also claiming a spot through regional qualifiers, while Gaimin Gladiators are heading to the tourney via a direct invite.

This will mark the first time SabeRLight- will be competing alongside the Team Liquid players. While the group draw is expected to be released in the next few days, the full tournament format and schedule have been announced.
