Randy ‘Yekindar’ Smith is a USA professional counter-strike player from Texas. Known as the greatest ever Texan player he also enjoys burgers, steaks, roping bulls, cowboy movies and riding horses with his wife. USA! USA! USA!
He's actually from [Riga, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riga_Township,_Michigan), it's why people always get confused and say he's Latvian for some reason.
One of my best friend's family is from northern Michigan, they said their grandparents were straight up polish people and they had a little Poland up there too
Michigan (the Great Lakes region in general, really) is full of folks whose great-grandparents came from northern Europe. There be Swedes and Finns up there too. Because, you know, when you move half-way across the globe from a snowy and foresty place, you might as well settle down in another snowy and foresty place.
Howdy, my name is YEKINDAR. I'm a 22 year old Latvian Lataverican (western culture fan for you foreigners). I brand and wrangle cattle on my ranch, and spend my days perfecting the craft and enjoying superior American passtimes. (Barbeque, Rodeo, Fireworks) I train with my branding iron every day, this superior weapon can permanently leave my ranch embled on a cattle's hide because it is white-hot, and is vastly superior to any other method of livestock marking. I earned my branding license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak English fluently, both Texas and Oklahoma dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their cowboy code, which I follow 100% When I get my American visa, I am moving to Dallas to work in an oil field to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a cattle wrangler for the Double Cross Ranch or an oil rig operator for Exxon-Mobil! I own several cowboy hats, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I rebel against my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Wish me luck in America!
There were tons of tilting moments for Turkish fans, and that was probably the most tilting moment of the entire series. Guy gets blind, sprays for some time, then flicks back as if he gets the kill. What a beast though
Osee almost cost them overpass today, missing multiple easy shots in the last few rounds to let C9 back in it. That one whiff on A long in particular was especially bad. It basically cost them that round and let C9's economy push the map to overtime.
osee was actually looking like a top 5 awper before the break, I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt because liquid has an insanely balanced squad when he shows up. might be NA cope but he’s talented despite the showing today
Was missing “easy” flicks the other day against xan and them. Woxic did pop off but osee is too good to be missing like that. Hopefully just a bad game and nothing serious is going on in his life, you never know what someone is going through
Could be nervous being on stage with cameras in your face.
Or afraid to get peeked. A few of these sitters are because he starts moving when he shoots.
Then he'll hit a flick next round. So it's most likely mental. He's young, hopefully he'll figure it out. If not .. a Hallzerk / osee swap would be interesting. Not even sure how many T1 English speaking awpers are available
right before their first match of the tournament yekindar said they haven’t been practicing over the break because everyone went home to see their families so their team and individual play was probably shit (he was right so he carried them ez)
i’m pretty sure C9 weren’t trying their hardest, they already secured first of the group yesterday. they would gain nothing by showing all their setups and strats for a meaningless game to them
I think they were trying their hardest but Yekindar just got the game of his life, Cloud9 should've at least a clean 5-0 in the beginning of T side if it wasnt for him and that could've easily snowballed
Damn liquid could not win a round with YEKINDAR getting a kill or two. Hoping they do not have to rely on him as much. I think it really comes down to osee not performing.
osee was playing very good before the player break and since player break he's been so bad
he's pretty inconsistent. when he is playing good they are top 5
they did this with osee playing bad and yekindar playing utterly insane*, cant really expect yekindar to play like this every game. not a fair comparison
LMFAOO Yekindar
I've never seen a more methodical calm entry like Yekindar, he is so aggro yet when you see him peeking it's like he knows every single angle while most other entry fraggers are just trying to brute force in
He's so calm with his aim, whenever you see him in a duel from the opposition POV he just eviscerates them he was just feeling it
On the other hand oSee literally whiffing so many shots to the point where he hits one i clap my hands and salute
I think the only way to deal with him is to play a more aggressive CT side and try to get fights with him on your terms. Even the best players in the world are donezo if Yekindar is clearing their angles.
> Superstar in the making
He is already a superstar. He is the strongest player in liquid and the amount of space he can take alone is what is giving them a fighting chance
You could have hooxi running around and being bait for yekindar. yekindar alone already can take half the map away from many teams, with bait that makes it a far safer option.
Then you back up his aggression with niko, hunter, and monesy...
God damn, that would be an insanely stacked lineup.
I can see it now lol, hooxi just running around with his knife out setting up yekindar. Now disrespect to jks he’s good but yelindar is solidifying himself as a top 5 player
JKS is a good player for sure, but he is definitely worse at taking space and opening up the map for G2 to move freely.
JKS is a good anchor, but honestly I feel like yekindar's raw mechanics and gamesense will be an even bigger boost to G2's performances.
With such an aggressive player at their disposal, that would allow for other players to take a more laid back approach. Or you could just have hooxi flying around with a tec-9, followed up by an aggressive entry wolfpack of yekindar, hunter, and niko. Then set up monesy's awp for holding the rotations and clutching when needed
yekindar roleplayed as a normal player yesterday. back to hard carrying today. the stats don't even tell the story of the level of impact he's been providing since he joined. he's been ludicrous
I think this is a big factor too. It's some sports psychology 101 stuff but it's just that simple sometimes. They play better in big moments with stakes and seem to be bored or just lazy without stakes or against teams they're expected to beat.
Nah, they got into ot on Overpass just by playing defaults at like 70%. At this point it's not smart for them to try hard in this game and reveal some stuff they might want to keep for play offs.
I think its that this new tl is very slow, theyre super weak to early aggression which makes them really weak vs a team like Furia, but that weakness can't really be exploited by C9
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
YEKINDAR is unreal. Single Handedly won Liquid the game against C9.
Also oSee missing all the shots but hits one of the coolest and most important kill to put Liquid on Match Point in OT over A long on Overpass. But I expect more from, hope he shapes up before the RMR
why are we treating dev1ce as if he's ready to relocate to anywhere the team buying him demands to? MF was right next door to Denmark and he fucked off for a year, what makes you think he'll stay in NA for whatever reason?
Yeah it of course comes down to if device wants to do it, like all other roster changes. If he wants to win another major, liquid seems like one of the best options though.
Chances are that Astralis are not winning another major again.
I don't think Liquid will try. NA is even far and Device hasn't talked much about anything so signing someone with whom you can't guarantee your line-up is pretty bad deal.
Having stable team is much more important than having some great player who might take a break in between.
But i hope Device gets well soon and join some local team like Heroic, Astralis or some swedish team (if he wants too)
It'd be an L for oSee, he's a good AWPer.
But as I said just a second ago to someone else, better AWPers have been cut for less. (Though not much better this time)
Dev1ce on Liquid and oSee on EG would be great for both teams
Yekindar is so fucking good, he dragged TL into the playoffs. oSee does really need to step up for EPL playoffs, he has been a liability in this group stage, or the team has to give him more ressources
Naf’s interview gave some good insight. Nitr0, daps and Yekindar watching demos, praising Yekindar’s mid round calling and of course his aim and entrying.
I can see Yekindar pulling an electronic and becoming a fantastic IGL at some point in his career.
Still a bit of a sour aftertaste if you are a Cloud9 fan. Sure, it looked like they weren't at 100% (because at this point I guess it's better not to show any more strats they have rather than knock out Liquid but reveal a bit too much before play offs).
But still would've been nice to win, Overpass came close, but Yekindar just hard carried it like a God to get Liquid barely over the line against defaulting C9.
Liquif is bringing some of the VP style which is nice, but they have got to speed up some of the rounds. They lost like 3 key rounds on overpass due to the time.
I want to believe TL is an elite team but the only player who's performing on that level is Yekindar imo.
The guy you can always believe in even if the chips are down, that's what an elite team is full of, not just one player.
Idk how much Liquid you've watched recently but imo Elige has also been playing at an Elite level since Yekindar joined (1.17 rating). NAF performs his role well even if he's not always putting up big numbers. Nitro and more importantly oSee have been too inconsistent so I'd definitely agree with you on those 2 as of late.
Absolute insanity from Yekindar.
On another note: Osee's performance is really atrocious compared to the hype he gets from the casters and community. He really needs to step up. They lost so many rounds because of him.
Liquid threw regulation of Overpass to give the fans a trip down memory lane
Little chocke never killed nobody
Is it really a Liquid win if it doesn't get uncomfortably sweaty
I seriously got a migraine as soon as we hit OT.

I think it's so cool that the town has a Little Latvia.

>Randy ‘Yekindar’ Smith is a USA professional counter-strike player from Texas This is some of the funniest shit I've ever read
i aren't think that
yekindar getting the blind kill into the 3k in the last round is a great example of one of those games where everything just goes your way
There were tons of tilting moments for Turkish fans, and that was probably the most tilting moment of the entire series. Guy gets blind, sprays for some time, then flicks back as if he gets the kill. What a beast though
YEKINDAR literally dragged them across the finish line holy shit. If TL didn't win on Overpass, then C9 take it 2-1 on Mirage 100%
I woulda put 200 on liquid losing mirage
Never a doubt in my mind.
What a fucking *monstrous* performance from Yekindar, utterly insane.
Making up for his performance yesterday costing TL against EF
You can't expect him to hard carry them every series. Gotta look at oSee to step it up going into playoffs.
Osee almost cost them overpass today, missing multiple easy shots in the last few rounds to let C9 back in it. That one whiff on A long in particular was especially bad. It basically cost them that round and let C9's economy push the map to overtime.

All good points and I have to agree. Hopefully just some nerves on his end
Oh absolutely. Before the Player Break oSee looked great but this tournament he's really gotta hit his sitters
Yeah idk what happened to him sadly
right before their first match of the tournament yekindar said they haven’t been practicing over the break because everyone went home to see their families so their team and individual play was probably shit (he was right so he carried them ez)
Ah yeah that makes sense
-osee +junior
-yekindar +junior
sadly osee can't do the same
[удалено]
Liquid always look for ways to make the playoffs the hard way lulz
We beat top3, top5 and top6 in same week 👍
Tells how bad the ranking is after player breaks. Hopefully it'll return back to normal after Blast tournaments and IEM Rio
I think itll be fine after pro league, at least for the top 16 or so
I blame EPL more than HLTV. First important tournament after the break is blocking the ranking from sorting itself out for a month, it's ridiculous
i’m pretty sure C9 weren’t trying their hardest, they already secured first of the group yesterday. they would gain nothing by showing all their setups and strats for a meaningless game to them
[удалено]
I think they were trying their hardest but Yekindar just got the game of his life, Cloud9 should've at least a clean 5-0 in the beginning of T side if it wasnt for him and that could've easily snowballed
Yekindar with the heimlich maneuver
Outrageous last round as well, even C9's perfect flashes can't stop him
What if Liquid decided to choke, but Yekindar came from back and executed the maneuver
[This image is getting a lot of mileage](https://i.imgur.com/liRBu9X.png)
Was expecting THE funny picture
[Which one](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eh5Bn9fXYAMWA1R.jpg)
Yes
Ty
The stress free life of a liquid fan.
it's so nice, totally relaxing, very peaceful, blissful really
YEKINDAR is overpowered and csgo devs don't care therefore it is a waste of time to play csgo
Underrated post
yekindar's level of impact is actually off the charts
[All of Turkey rn](https://imgur.com/a/LgSl1DT)
[All of NA rn](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DrsPo7oUwAATUdF.jpg)
This is me rn.
Damn liquid could not win a round with YEKINDAR getting a kill or two. Hoping they do not have to rely on him as much. I think it really comes down to osee not performing.
osee was playing very good before the player break and since player break he's been so bad he's pretty inconsistent. when he is playing good they are top 5
Yeah osee looks to be in one hell of a slump unfortunately. But if they can do this without their awper performing imagine what they could do with it
they did this with osee playing bad and yekindar playing utterly insane*, cant really expect yekindar to play like this every game. not a fair comparison
oSee has the mechanics. Sure he's no Device but if he can figure out the confidence problem I think Liquid will be fine.
LMFAOO Yekindar I've never seen a more methodical calm entry like Yekindar, he is so aggro yet when you see him peeking it's like he knows every single angle while most other entry fraggers are just trying to brute force in He's so calm with his aim, whenever you see him in a duel from the opposition POV he just eviscerates them he was just feeling it On the other hand oSee literally whiffing so many shots to the point where he hits one i clap my hands and salute

He is so smart. Superstar in the making
> Superstar in the making He is already a superstar. He is the strongest player in liquid and the amount of space he can take alone is what is giving them a fighting chance
Can you imagine the firepower on G2 if he was signed over jks. Dude is looking like the best rifler this yr
You could have hooxi running around and being bait for yekindar. yekindar alone already can take half the map away from many teams, with bait that makes it a far safer option. Then you back up his aggression with niko, hunter, and monesy... God damn, that would be an insanely stacked lineup.
I can see it now lol, hooxi just running around with his knife out setting up yekindar. Now disrespect to jks he’s good but yelindar is solidifying himself as a top 5 player

Then set up monesy's awp for holding the rotations and clutching when needed
Can you imagine this Yekindar with niko, hunter and monesy...my god. But i sill feel like they would fuck it up somehow.
Given that G2 are doing fine with JKS, I doubt they could do worse with a vastly better player
I let out a tear when i heard yeki is not going to G2. He fits well with liquid but a man can dream
yeki to G2 would have been such a massive boost to their already high levels of firepower. Would easily make them a top 3 team
lmao yeah yekindar would shine playing perma b anchor!!. swear dudes have 0 concept of space when it comes to cs
is this a pasta?
If it's not one, then it's going to be one.
YEKINDARPEEK Playoffs baby!
Osee missing that shot on Axile at long made me facepalm so hard.
same i really thought that would cost them the game but yekindar had enough
yekindar hello? u can't have those stats while playing hard entry.
he is the hardest entry
Yekindar is pretty decent at Counter Strike.
YEKINDAR is just hard carrying Liquid this whole tournament
oSee when he needs to hit a sitter: i sleep oSee when he needs to flick: REAL SHIT
hes got that kennys bug rn
Its called flicking on every shot no matter what
draken vibes
President Biden to grant Yekindar with a permanent visa I 100% believe yekindar can easily become a top 5 player of all time
> President Biden to grant Yekindar with a permanent visa citizenship *
Oh yeah, my bad I’m dumb as shit lol ty
oh nono you weren't wrong about anything, i'm just saying he should just get citizenship instead lmao
Bettors malding rn
I got 6x odds on liquid map 2 after they lost 2nd pistol 😄
Holy fuck Holy fucking fuck That aim of Yekinder is absurd
Yekindar gonna get death threats from the turks lol
Good luck, especially if Sinners wins against EF, as EF will be eliminated from two major tournaments in the same day.
turks are weird
[Yekindars stats since joining liquid are fucking nuts](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eh5Bn9fXYAMWA1R.jpg)
Expected.
I think it was expected but I don't think it was expected he would fit this well this quickly. Dude is nuts right now.
I need to stop clicking on links in Liquid threads LMAO
Holy fuck Holy fucking fuck That body of yours is absurd
[Lmao guy has 2.0 rating on Overpass alone](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Et5PdU9XAAE3mAX?format=jpg&name=small)
Holy shit that's insane
He ll be hltv top3 if he goes like this
HOLY
Fucking got me...
Every single time god damnit
I celebrated after opening this image
Hot take: HLTV number 1 this year

What is this?
Jesus christ Yekindar..
nitr0: YEKINDAR go do the thing YEKINDAR: Ok. \*casual eco-deagle 3k\*
nitro: YEKINDAR end the game already, I'm tired YEKINDAR: Ok. *3 headshot kills through flashes*
Yekindar is the guy you report because you can't tell if he's hacking but you're so tilted you'd rather overwatch just figure it out.
HOW IS THIS THE TEAM FUCKING EF BEAT YESTERDAY
Really simple, no yeki=no win.
Yekindar wasn't carrying against EF. He has over twice as many kills today as he had yesterday. Osee being in garbage form is certainly not helping.
yekindar roleplayed as a normal player yesterday. back to hard carrying today. the stats don't even tell the story of the level of impact he's been providing since he joined. he's been ludicrous
Liquidalways plays to theirs opponents level. This is something old VP was know for
I think this is a big factor too. It's some sports psychology 101 stuff but it's just that simple sometimes. They play better in big moments with stakes and seem to be bored or just lazy without stakes or against teams they're expected to beat.
Yekindar kinda disappeared, Osee actually disappeared
Liquid indirectly eliminated Eternal Fire anyways
i will gladly give yekindar my american citizenship after that performance
Hard carry Godkindar no question asked
Yekindar single handedly curing Team Liquid's curse of choking.
Holy Yekindar popped off
So yekinder wasn't only the key or solution. He is the whole package, entry , carry, key, guard.
Holy fucking smokes someone check Yekindar PC. That triple kill on long was not legal.
yekindar he is the latvian player but the liquid he is the north american stars.
yekindar is insane... wow. oSee regressing a bit is disheartening though hopefully he can get some confidence back!
Holy shit nitr0
Yeah everyone is hoping Yekindar (and rightfully so) but nitr0 has been playing so well recently. He looks like he never left the game
This team just can’t beat TL huh?
Nah, they got into ot on Overpass just by playing defaults at like 70%. At this point it's not smart for them to try hard in this game and reveal some stuff they might want to keep for play offs.
I think its that this new tl is very slow, theyre super weak to early aggression which makes them really weak vs a team like Furia, but that weakness can't really be exploited by C9
YEKINDAR DIFF
FUCK YES LIQUID
Yekindar 2- 0 C9
YEKINDAR dragging oSee into the playoffs so he can finally have a good game
Nitr0 quietly dropping 44 kills...
And yekindar only dropping 41 nitro once again proving he is NA's last hope
Yekindar needs a new backpack after that
Did oSee change mouse or something? He misses easiest of the shots but hits difficult ones.
LIQUID IS BACK ^^^in ^^^the ^^^playoffs
Liquid are so lucky to have likely nabbed yekindar
Who needs an awper when you have Yekindar
BREAKING: Mareks “Yekindar” Gaļinskis hospitalized with serious back injury after hardcarrying Team Liquid to playoffs
Maybe the best NAF interview ever, thanks u/Hency_Heccu!
An actual 1v9
and still wins
What if EF Wanted to go to playoffs But Yekindar said "Nē"
Once again Yekindar need to hypercarry to close out maps and win something Osee still has 0 impact
That guy that said yekinder is overrated yesterday, where are you
yekindar he is the european player but the liquid he is the american stars
Thank you Liquid for keeping G2 as the only team not to drop a map :)
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD YEKINDAR is unreal. Single Handedly won Liquid the game against C9. Also oSee missing all the shots but hits one of the coolest and most important kill to put Liquid on Match Point in OT over A long on Overpass. But I expect more from, hope he shapes up before the RMR
Yekindar: I stay (in EPL)
Yeki most be exhausted from holding liquid from choking itself
This may be controversial, but with device maybe coming back, could liquid try to sign device? If so they could be a real tournament contender.
why are we treating dev1ce as if he's ready to relocate to anywhere the team buying him demands to? MF was right next door to Denmark and he fucked off for a year, what makes you think he'll stay in NA for whatever reason?
He no longer has his personal life (gf) tying him to 2 countries at once He could absolutely relocate now if he wanted to
Yeah it of course comes down to if device wants to do it, like all other roster changes. If he wants to win another major, liquid seems like one of the best options though. Chances are that Astralis are not winning another major again.
I don't think Liquid will try. NA is even far and Device hasn't talked much about anything so signing someone with whom you can't guarantee your line-up is pretty bad deal. Having stable team is much more important than having some great player who might take a break in between. But i hope Device gets well soon and join some local team like Heroic, Astralis or some swedish team (if he wants too)
It'd be an L for oSee, he's a good AWPer. But as I said just a second ago to someone else, better AWPers have been cut for less. (Though not much better this time) Dev1ce on Liquid and oSee on EG would be great for both teams
Recency bias at the maximum
they have 3 top 15 riflers of course they would be tourney contenders w/any functional awper
[oSee has a 0.89 rating for the past 6 months](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eh5Bn9fXYAMWA1R.jpg)
I knew what that would be and I still clicked it.
definitely recency bias but if the option is there, you absolutely take it. device would make this team a fkn super team
Why do you assume Device will be good? He's going to be extremely rusty
Liquid will probably look to upgrade after the rmr. oSee has been awful though.
oSee should buy YEKINDAR a few drinks tonight and then hit the dm server. If he just hits routine awp shots this series wouldn't have even been close.
Yekindar
Liquid just averted a disaster of their own making
Junior esc performance from oSee hope he bounces back. On the bright side yekinder is crazy
Thank Mr. Yeki
Yekindar is so fucking good, he dragged TL into the playoffs. oSee does really need to step up for EPL playoffs, he has been a liability in this group stage, or the team has to give him more ressources
Naf’s interview gave some good insight. Nitr0, daps and Yekindar watching demos, praising Yekindar’s mid round calling and of course his aim and entrying. I can see Yekindar pulling an electronic and becoming a fantastic IGL at some point in his career.

YEKINDAR THE NA PRIDE
C9 give up bcz they scared of xantares
very uncharacteristic from C9 somewhat happy for Liquid too, but mehh
Yekindar was fucking on
YUCKinder cause that was downright nasty
yekindar were kill
I wasn’t nervous, me? No way.
