Team Vitality

It is 11.30 a.m. on a Thursday.

Vitality are currently playing Na'Vi.

the things are a little bit wonky uh but anyway let's get into this shall we thanks to our partners stake remember to gamble responsibly and skins.com peer-to-peer no fees check them out if you're in the marketplace for some skins now i didn't mention our other guest joining us today that's gomez thank you for joining us gomez uh General manager over there at FlyQuest, used to be my manager back in the day, Vox Eminor, Renegades.

A lot been going on in the oceanic region lately, Chris.

So the Magic one's bad, but losing to Furia, okay, fine.

Then they go to Porto.

They lose to Mouses, lose to Vitality.

But they are getting blown out in these games, but these are very good names.

That was the one where they beat Spirit.

They had a great game against Vitality and actually Reign looked really good.

So it was also really bad PR.

But what I can't believe is these are real professional orgs in esports that you would think would have someone in the org that either in a meeting goes, wait a minute, boss, what about, or just looks it up, just goes and finds out from an expert what would happen if I bring this player in now and how many matches do I play? Because by the way, the reason I also think I'll make a little tangent here is, It's implied even Vitality hasn't got a grasp on this shit.

Vitality has this problem now where, depending on what were happening at the games at this tournament, as you might have seen on social media, there's a world where JL could end up getting the fucking sticker, not Apex, which is like, what? Who's planned these events, bros? Surely you could have known that in advance.

Surely you could have a small land you could attend before.

Surely there's some way around this, not just hoping that the results go a perfect way.

So here's the ugly point.

We're going to talk about the top four, which of course begins with Loud winning champion Shanghai as well.

The games that we hadn't recapped at that point, the upper final where they played against Vitality, they ended up playing against them again afterwards as well.

This was the defining rivalry of this Champions.

It's just a pity that it didn't have anything before Champions to kind of like... get us amped up for it coming in because you know if there had been more of a rivalry between loud and vitality earlier on in the year then this would have been like a loud

No, they played EDG.

So

they're a big, well, tough game, maybe, being against Vitality.

I think that in itself wasn't possible if they had played each other before.

Here's what people don't know.

Astralis and Vitality won the majors.

They did no PC bootcamps too.

And that was literally one of their main strategies as a team.

If he has the right team around him, that's got all the roles set, he's got the right coach, and he's the best player ever, don't win the odd tournament, mate.

Have an era.

Be like Vitality.

Zewu's doing it, mate.

But now, outside of NFL news and topics, we're here to talk to you guys today about the FIFA E-Finals officially being canceled following widespread team withdrawals and safety concerns.

The V-Hive, Team Vitality's gaming cafe and headquarters in Paris are has been vandalized and looted.

The Fury 1v1 tournament has started, so we'll give you some updates on that and talk about the format and what you can look out for there.

There's some even more off-season roster moves will continue until the roster deadline, so we'll recap all of that stuff.

The movement initially began in late September as student-led blockades, protesting deteriorating school infrastructure, teacher shortages, and severe underfunding in public education.

However, the unrest rapidly expanded into a broader societal revolt as labor unions and activist groups joined the demonstrations to protest the surging cost of living, rising fuel prices, and general economic dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron's government.

Why are we talking about this? This applies to Team Vitality because, as we mentioned in the intro, a video shared on X show masked individuals striking one of the front windows of the V-Hive, which is Vitality's headquarters, with an unidentified object, kicking it in and hitting it with a pole.

Behind it, a second pane of glass had already been torn out, and one person can be seen leaving the premises carrying what appeared to be a gaming monitor.

We live in an era where you look at Mouz kind of over-perform, you know, having different players in different roles, you know, taking up supportive elements.

You have Vitality who we speak about having the perfect roles, the perfect players in all of it.

Falcons is, is still to this day, when you look at the team, like Niko is, to my understanding, Niko's not supposed to play the roles he's playing, but that's how you get the most out of all of them.

That's how you get the most out of what you have to work with.

Is he feeling uncomfortable when he has to play around Kyosuke, 'cause he's a, he's a player that is just all over the place.

He doesn't know what he's thinking, 'cause he's not thinking.

You know, all that kind of thing when it comes into Counter-Strike, that's, that's one of the reasons why Vitality are as good as they are.

You can count on every single one of them.
