Latvian rifler Mareks "YEKINDAR" Gaļinskis from Team Liquid was named the best entry fragger of 2023. Despite Team Liquid not having played a single match in Counter-Strike 2, he still managed to become the top entry for the year.
Team Liquid underwent numerous changes in their lineup, yet YEKINDAR's skill, like wine, only improved with each year.
YEKINDAR's rating in this category for 2023 was 0.144, the highest among all players participating in S-tier championships.

Interestingly, YEKINDAR's trade rating is 0.102, while his assist rating is 0.161.
Since Team Liquid has successfully rebuilt their Counter-Strike lineup, it will be interesting to see how the team performs at their first major CS2 tournament, PGL Major Copenhagen 2024.
Often, viewers simply overlook the successes or the importance of entries for a team. But these players can change the course of a match with a single kill or strategic move. YEKINDAR's contribution to Team Liquid is simply indescribable.
Not being the strongest team in the world, but becoming the best entry of the year is simply madness, isn't it?
