At the beginning of June 2022 it became known that the former captain of CS:GO team Natus Vincere Kirill Boombl4 Mikhailov is divorcing his wife - Angelika LiQueen Ezieva. They have already repeatedly parted and reconciled before. However, this time the divorce is inevitable, because there are no ways left for reconciliation. The fact is that Angelika accused her husband of cheating, called him a drug addict, and leaked his personal photos and videos. Kirill, in turn, said that his wife has serious mental health problems, and all her accusations are lies. He intends to defend his position in court. This is a precedent previously unseen in the world of eSports, so now the couple has all the attention of the gaming community. How professional players, streamers, different media personalities from the eSports community and beyond reacted to the divorce of Boombl4 and LiQueen - in our feature.

After Boombl4's announcement of his divorce from LiQueen, many professional CS:GO players (including those who ended their careers) supported him and expressed a few words of support to Kirill. They chose different words, but the message was the same: the cyberplayers urged Boombl4 to hold on in this difficult situation and not to give up.
It's a shock. But there's no need to speculate, there's no exact information. We are waiting for an answer from Boombl4 and support him as much as possible.
Stay strong, man! It will pass and time will put everything in its place.
That's what happens when you think with your *** [reproductive organ] instead of your brain! I hope everything will be all right.
Of course, Boombl4's former teammate - Natus Vincere CS:GO sniper Alexander s1mple Kostylev couldn't help but comment on the situation. Cybersportsman was quite blunt in his statements and said that he predicted a similar outcome for quite some time, but could not stop Boombl4.
What about Boombl4? Not much - he got hooked up with a dirty stinking *** [girl of easy virtue]. Everyone told him, "Kirill, don't, don't mess with her - she's a *** [girl of easy virtue]. And he loved her or not, *** [f**k] knows. He got attached. I hope that's it, for good. I was betting a month ago that she might start blackmailing him too, and all that ***. I was right as always.
Professional player Almaz almazer Asadullin did not openly support Kirill. He preferred to speculate about how the future career of Boombl4 will develop, in the light of all these scandals. According to almazer, there's nothing good in the near future for Boombl4 because of reputational risks.
I can not even imagine what will happen to Boombl4 and his future career, because it's a complete fiasco. I don't think he'll be hired anywhere now or in the next few years. It really hurts his reputation.
Reaction of CS:GO media personalities
Not only professional CS:GO players decided to support Kirill in this situation, but also various media personalities of this discipline. Commentator Konstantin Leniniw Sivko said a few words of support for Kirill. He urged users to support the cyber-sportsman and gave advice to fans for the future, so that they could be more careful in choosing people to let into their lives.
First of all, Kirill has done nothing wrong. What he does, who he likes, is his own business. Getting involved with a wrong woman is a bad thing. On the other hand, it will be an experience for him. It's a shame to leave NaVi, of course. But I don't think he was interested in staying there, either. Otherwise he would have done everything to prevent himself from being kicked. I urge you to support Kirill in this difficult situation. I also ask you to be careful about who you let into your life. Because it's quite possible that it might turn out to be some deranged monster that will ruin your mental health and your life.
Insider and analyst Aleksey OverDrive Biryukov took a similar stance. He supported Kirill and urged his subscribers to do the same. According to Alexey, no one would want to be in a similar situation.
Boombl4 is in a very difficult situation. I hope he will get out of it, forget about this dark period in his life and we will enjoy his game soon. If you have a chance, please support Kirill. I think no one would want to be in his situation. As for the video with illegal substances, unfortunately, many people on the pro-stage like to indulge in such stuff.
Commentator Arseniy ceh9 Trynozhenko said that after all the leaks, he realized why NaVi kicked Boombl4 - such provocative content could really hurt the image of the cybersports organization. And so the club managed to get rid of a potential threat in time. In this case, Arseniy said that he absolutely doesn't understand LiQueen's reasoning for such a deed.
Now I understand why Kirill was kicked out of NaVi. They seemed to know about the blackmail from his wife, they realized that sooner or later it might come to light, and they wanted to get rid of it. Now it all makes sense. That is what reputational risk means. Oh my God. You guys have upset me with your news. This is so despicable. Why is our world so *** [weird]? I don't get it. Boombl4 gave her absolutely everything, gave up the team for her. How can you be so *** [weird]? I understand that it's his own fault, but it's one more disappointment in humanity. She worked as an escort somewhere, they got to know each other, he really liked her. He thought he would save her. She turned out to be *** [insane].
The former sports director of Winstrike Artyom Panchenko also didn't blame Kirill for what happened. But he pointed out that the situation turned out to be as unpleasant as possible.
Dudes, you should not beat up Boombl4. He's a really nice person, everyone can tell you that he's the kindest and coolest dude, who just got into a *** [unpleasant situation because of love] because of his young age. Just take a look at the divorce statistics. Kirill just had took this challenge on hard mode.
Reaction of bloggers and streamers
The scandal around Boombl4 got so loud that it went beyond professional cybersport. Popular streamers and bloggers also began to discuss the situation around Boombl4 and his wife.
For example, Vyacheslav Buster Leontyev called the incident a hard lesson for Kirill and hinted that he and Lika had better not get together again, as it would further destroy the reputation of the cyber-sportsman.
A terrible ***** [mess] happened with Bloombl4 recently, but such situations can only be called a lesson in life. If they get back together, that'd be a cancellation, of course. Good luck to him.
Alexey HardPlay Baranov also urged Kirill to make the right conclusions, and also speculated that the player will definitely return to cybersport.
Whatever happens next, you should draw some conclusions and get rid of unnecessary things in time. I'm sure we'll still see him on the pro scene in top teams.
Vadim Evelone Kozakov was concise and simply called Kirill the Russian Johnny Depp. The point is that the actor recently won a lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, who also accused her husband of many things.
Hang in there, the Russian Johnny Depp.
Alexey JesusAVGN Gubanov had an elaborate opinion on Boombl4's divorce. In his words, he doesn't understand what made Kirill put up with Angelika's antics during all this time. At the same time, JesusAVGN praised Boombl4 for taking a step in the right direction and resolving to divorce LiQueen.
How could anyone put up with all this? One gets the feeling that she knew his biggest secret, which would have destroyed his life, reputation and career. I don't know, maybe he liked to eat children, which was why he had to put up with all this crap. In the end, though, everything is ***** [lost] and for what? Now he's filed for divorce and she immediately starts giving him hell and leaking all the dirt, even though she confessed her undying love a week ago. Hang in there, Boombl4. You may be a fool, but taking the right step is good for you, you should have done it a long time ago.
Vladimir bratishkinoff Bratishkin, in his turn, noticed that Angelica made a scandal and started leaking Kirill's personal photos only after Boombl4 was kicked out of Natus Vincere, and he lost quite a bit of income.
Yeah, it was so obvious. As they kicked him out of NaVi - she needed him no longer. The moral is that people like her don't ever change. Sometimes I wonder how you can be so stupid and not understand the obvious. Well, here we are. F to Boombl4.
Famous blogger Alexey Itpedia Shevtsov also commented on the situation with Boombl4. According to him, the management of Natus Vincere managed to get rid of Boombl4 in time, because the behavior of his wife could be a blow to the cybersport organization.
Whether it's fake or not - it does not matter, the guy has already been kicked out of NaVi because of his *** [girl of easy virtue], because he created reputational risks for the club. And a week later his *** [wife] sits on his face and puts it on the internet, and the next day he leaks the *** [genitals]. NaVi's managers are taking a breath of relief now. This isn't some trash streamer, this is the former captain of the world's most famous cyber sports team. I learned from Yatoro how strict such organizations are with their discipline, with players' public statements, not to compromise the reputation of the club in any way. There's a great woman behind a great man, as they say, and it's true, but I can't count how many women have buried their boyfriends careers.
Even the streamer Ilya Maddyson Davydov did not stand aside and gave his comment on the divorce of Boombl4 and LiQueen. He said that he personally communicated with Kirill, and he made a positive impression. And he also compared Angelika to a used car that "didn't need to be registered".
I even know Boombl4 a little, because we shot a dumpling commercial with him. He seemed like a nice, talented guy with a good command of language and a certain charm. At some point he got married, and his chosen one was questionable on the Internet. Boombl4 was warned that his marriage would end badly, and apparently it did. The whole Internet is tearing up about this situation. I can only sympathize with him, anything can happen. I've already had so many donations from the guys who got their hearts broken. Back then I told them I didn't know the situation, but if you bought a used 25-year-old BMW, you wouldn't need to register it - you could just drive it and give it away.
Streamer Maxim Snailkick Kiselev, in turn, accused Angelika of taking the dirty laundry out of the house, although couples usually try not to do that after a breakup. Maxim wished Kirill to return to the professional stage as soon as possible.
Regarding the situation with Boombl4, the only thing I can say is that what happens between people must stay between people. Any attempt to bring any dirt to light speaks only of malevolent motives, mercantile interests (I think it's clear who I'm talking about). No matter what *** is going on, decent people don't take it out of the closet. Sure, it's surprising for many people how this marriage happened at all, because looking at this person, it's hard to understand what there is to feel except regret, but don't judge and you won't be judged. I wish Boombl4 good luck and more victories in CS.
Reaction of rappers
Surprisingly, even well-known musicians from the CIS didn't remain on the sidelines. Boombl4 was supported by several well-known personalities, including Alisher Morgenstern (listed as a foreign agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice). In his Telegram channel he wrote a short but important phrase: "Boombl4 is a legend".
Kazakh musician The Limba recorded a story in which he supported the cyber athlete. "Good luck, my bro! I'm rooting for you," The Limba said in the video.
Russian rapper Big Baby Tape also supported the cyber athlete. He published Kirill's nickname and two biceps emoji beside it. Apparently, he urged Boombl4 to be strong in this difficult situation.
Boombl4 received a lot of support
As we can see, most of the cybersport and streamer community supports Kirill Boombl4 Mikhailov in this situation. However, almost everyone noted that Boombl4 shares part of the fault, so they wish him to make the right conclusions and to pay more attention to his circle.
