Former NAVI in-game leader Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov
and his spouse Lika “LiQueen” Mikhailova are ending their marriage. She was the woman he publicly proposed to during the live broadcast after securing victory at PGL Stockholm Major 2021. Both parties announced their separation through social media platforms.

Their union lasted fewer than six months, with Boombl4 spending most of that period competing internationally while LiQueen remained in Russia.

We are finally getting a divorce because Lika has something strange with her head. I would like to apologize for everything that went on social media. I was ashamed of all this, but, unfortunately, I could not control it. I understand everything perfectly. I’ll make a post later about everything that happened. Nothing more to say. It’s just a facepalm.

Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov

Escorenews investigated the complete narrative of their relationship. Here’s the comprehensive story of Boombl4 and LiQueen’s journey together.

Boombl4 is kicked from NAVI due to the “high reputational risks”. May it be related to his wife?
“I’m with you”.


Immediately following their triumph at PGL Major Stockholm 2021, Boombl4 grabbed the microphone from host James Banks and proposed marriage to Lika, who enthusiastically accepted with “yes”.

Speculation circulated suggesting Lika had worked as an elite escort, with multiple outlets discovering profiles of a resembling woman and adult videos featuring her. Nevertheless, LiQueen refuted all allegations. According to her account, she completed medical university and became a “family doctor”. Lika has a child: at age 18, she met a man who impregnated her. The boy is now six years old.

When I was 18, I was dating a guy, lost my virginity, and got pregnant a couple of months later. Coitus interruptus (when you pull it out in time) does not protect against pregnancy! He blackmailed and frightened me, said that I would die during an abortion, and made me give birth to the baby.

I adore children, this is probably why I agreed, although I was sure that this was still too early. I didn’t want to have a baby until 30. And then, the baby was born, and two years later, he *** [ran away] because he wanted to live only for himself. He relinquished parental rights. And that’s it.

Lika “LiQueen” Mikhailova

LiQueen recounted how their relationship began: the pair encountered each other 2.5 years ago at a cafe where Lika was employed.

We met almost 2,5 years ago at my part-time job in a cafe. I then completed my 5th year at university. It was easy for us to communicate with each other. There was a feeling that I’d known Kirill for a long time. I was immediately attracted by the fact that he is very talkative and sociable. Also, he has his own opinion on everything.

At first, we were friends, but Kirill sought my love for a year. Then he became so unbelievably tough! I could not resist and fell in love deeply. And now I love him so much.

On September 5, 2021, exactly two months before NAVI’s Major championship victory, Lika ended her relationship with Kirill.

We broke up, but we kept our friendship. Now I plan to devote myself to work fully, my career, and my son. Each of us has a lot of work ahead.

<…>

My heart is broken, and I’m sure I’ll never fall in love like this again. No other guy will turn my head that much again. I fell in love for real. Boys, remember that when a girl falls in love, she doesn’t give a fuck about your cons. She doesn’t see them.

Lika “LiQueen” Mikhailova

Kirill published a statement assuring supporters that personal difficulties wouldn’t impact their Major performance. He remained true to his word.

I lost a person for whom I wanted to wake up every day and achieve the highest peaks. The person for whom I wanted to do everything to live and experience the greatest emotions together, just to see her smile and to know that she is happy.

I believed to the end, and, probably, somewhere in the depths of my soul, I still believe in creating a family. I tried numerous times to solve all the problems we had. But unfortunately, instead of solving them, she decided to end everything and run away from them. Only weak people surrender.

Mutual sorrowful comments marked the separation, with Lika sharing revealing stories for 24 hours.

“My heart is broken. Now I have the gym instead of a boyfriend”

However, just two days later, they reconciled completely.

Kirill and I met yesterday, and we talked. The Queen made it clear that she awaits the Major victory!

Lika “LiQueen” Mikhailova

Throughout the Major tournament, Lika enthusiastically supported Kirill across social platforms, even releasing an artistic photo series featuring NAVI-themed body paint before their semifinal match against Gambit Esports.


Following their return from Stockholm, the couple married on New Year’s Eve, marking a new chapter in their tumultuous relationship.


After NAVI’s defeat against G2 at IEM Katowice (and two days after February 24), Lika shared an “ahegao face” expression on her social accounts with the caption: “The bitch is waiting for the master.”


On April 6, Lika posted another photograph featuring a Russian flag painted on her cheek. “I love Russia so much! I was away for some time, but don’t unsubscribe. There will be many more interesting things. I’m with you,” she wrote.


Numerous NAVI supporters and several broadcasters demanded Kirill’s removal from the roster. Both the organization and player maintained silence during this period.

On April 21, LiQueen announced her divorce from Boombl4. She also clarified they hadn’t acquired any property together and held no financial claims against each other.

We are divorcing Boombl4. There will be no details, we don’t want to make people laugh. We have no claims to each other. Reason: not compatible. Sounds like a diagnosis. <…> I’m sorry. Everything could be so f*king awesome. I believed that it would go on forever. It’s a pity that it was just me.

However, five days later, both reconciled once again. Lika explained they had genuinely planned to divorce but changed their minds and remained together.

Guys, we didn’t do that for hype or attention, we really parted but reconciled the following evening. Because we can’t live without each other. Kirill is the closest person to me after my son. I want it to be like this forever, and I will do everything possible for that.

Lika “LiQueen” Mikhailova

Prior to PGL Major Antwerp 2022, Boombl4 released an official statement regarding his NAVI future and ongoing events in Ukraine and Russia. He also apologized for his wife’s social media posts. Lika supported her husband and apologized for her publications.

This May, it will be three years since I became a captain of NAVI. I experienced a lot of emotions during that time. I love my team and my club, and, right now, I have mixed feelings. I’m sorry for being silent for so long about everything that’s going on and for the inappropriate publications of my wife, Lika. I’ve been in Ukraine for many bootcamps, and I was never discriminated against on any basis and always felt at home.

I’m sorry that part of my fellow citizens fully trusts TV and that it’s hard for a lot of sane people, including me, to call things by their name. I understand that many people won’t be satisfied by this message, but I want to say that I’m for peace and against bloodshed. That’s all I can say right now. We have the Major ahead of us, and after that, the club and I will decide what’s next. I hope you will be supporting us at the tournament.

Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov

Following the Major, Natus Vincere terminated their relationship with Kirill, explaining his departure wasn’t performance-related but due to “high reputational risks for the club.” COO Oleksii “xaoc” Kucherov implied Lika was the underlying issue.

We cannot censor what they [players and their wives] write on social media. When we saw that stuff [social media activity from Boombl4 and electronic’s wives], we decided to find out why this had happened and discuss it. Now you can see the result of the discussions. <…>

If we talk about Boombl4, a few weeks ago, he expressed his position. Everything is OK with his position, but the reputational risks associated with Boombl4 are too high. He played in the club for three years. We know that everything is OK with him, he is a normal dude. But what is happening around him is something that we are not ready to endure right now.

On June 8, Boombl4 initiated divorce proceedings with Lika. Lika responded with hostility to the situation. She accused Boombl4 of substance abuse, shared footage of him inhaling powder, and distributed Kirill’s private images. For obvious reasons, we won’t provide links to this content.

Boombl4 is a big fat lesbian and loves to suck cock. And he is also a complete drug addict. He betrayed me more than once and hurt me a lot. On this basis, we are getting divorced.

Lika “LiQueen” Mikhailova

Kirill announced plans to sue his former spouse for defamation and blackmail while pursuing his professional career.

It was an attempt at blackmail, which I stopped. I will not allow myself to be blackmailed. I’m not a rag, not a piece of shit to do this to me.

<…>

I think that all this stuff shows who really loved another. I will not say anything bad about her. Maybe it’s some kind of mental illness. I have nothing more to add.

My mother is shocked. In general, it is a very unpleasant story, but for me, it will be an experience. I don’t want to trade my life for such bullshit. It was my dream to play CS. I am very sorry that all the stuff happened when I was in NAVI. I don’t want to stop here. I want to continue my career, if possible, in any team. I just want to apologize to everyone for what you saw. I think adequate people will understand who to support in this situation.

All the defamation will be sued. I don’t want to leave it just like that. I don’t know who would actually believe this. Everyone knows what kind of person I am. All my relatives support me. It is clear that now is a difficult time, but at least I got peace inside me.

Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov

LiQueen continued releasing damaging information, accusing Boombl4 of physical and psychological abuse.

I can’t speak as sweet as Boombl4. But the truth is on my side. He is a longtime drug addict. Not me!!!! He brought me to panic attacks and destroyed my psyche with his buddies. He destroyed our little family. He knocked my tooth out. Damaged my health. Betrayed more than once!!! And I should be silent about all this? He is weak, not me.

Lika “LiQueen” Mikhailova

According to Boombl4’s mother Olesya, Lika and her mother “set up plans for Kirill,” but she intervened to prevent their execution.


This time, it appears the separation won’t conclude amicably.
