Former NAVI Analyst flashie Becomes Team Liquid 's New Coach

Time: 2025-07-09 12:30 (UTC)

After a series of unstable results and rumors about upcoming roster changes, Team Liquid has taken a significant step by appointing a new head coach. The team is now led by Viktor "flashie" Tamás Bea, a former analyst for NAVI, under whose guidance the team won several major tournaments in 2024.

What makes this even more intriguing is that flashie is not just an experienced analyst — he has progressed from coaching the women's team CLG Red to becoming a key member of the NAVI staff, working closely with Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy.
The Void After mithR and DeMars' Role
The previous head coach of Liquid, Torbjørn "mithR" Nyborg, left the team back in March after eight months of service. Since then, the coaching duties were temporarily handled by the organization's analyst Jay "DeMars DeRover" Lee, who led the team during PGL Bucharest, IEM Melbourne, IEM Dallas, and BLAST.tv Austin Major. However, these temporary solutions did not yield consistent results — Liquid frequently exited tournaments in the early stages, making it clear that a new direction was needed.

From the Hungarian Scene to the Top with NAVI
Viktor "flashie" Tamás Bea officially joined Liquid as head coach after leaving Natus Vincere , where he worked as an analyst since 2023. During his tenure, NAVI won the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, Esports World Cup 2024, IEM Rio 2024, and ESL Pro League Season 20. All these victories occurred after NAVI transformed into an international lineup, where flashie played a crucial role in analytics and preparation.

Before NAVI, he coached Hungarian teams Salamander and Budapest Five , as well as the women's team CLG Red (later FlyQuest RED ), with whom he spent three years. His diverse experience combined with recent results makes him one of the most intriguing coaching appointments in the CS2 scene.

Currently, the Liquid roster is as follows:

Keith "NAF" Markovic
Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken
Roland "ultimate" Tomkowiak
Guy "NertZ" Iluz
Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek
Viktor "flashie" Tamás Bea (coach)

The appointment of flashie could serve as the catalyst for a Team Liquid reboot. The roster is going through a challenging period, and with the coach's support, the organization hopes to return to the fight for championship titles. In the coming months, we will see how flashie adapts to the role of head coach and what dynamics he brings to the team, which is in dire need of stability and results.
