As the third seeded team, Vitality had a choice between FURIA and Falcons. As expected, the French team settled on the Falcons, who are playing in the tournament with a replacement – academician Matej “NucleonZ” Trajkovski is playing instead of Maxim “kyousuke” Lukin.
Vitality head coach Remy “XTQZZZ” Kuaniam explained the choice due to the absence of kyousuke and the characteristics of mappulu, but warned against underestimating the opponent:
“We know they can be dangerous. G2 with NiKo and m0NESY already beat us with a replacement in Dallas. But at some point you have to make a choice, and for us the Falcons were an obvious option.”
“molodoy showed yesterday that they are capable of beating anyone. It will be a very difficult match.”
“We have a lot of respect for the guys and for Jame. We have one of his students in our team – YEKINDAR. Tomorrow it will be a student vs. mentor match. It’s going to be a great game.”
