VIT Lyncas after an 0-2 start: "We are sh*t right now, but I'll make sure the team doesn't give up"

On a personal level, how are you feeling about your own performance so far?

I think yesterday I played quite bad in game two. Game one, I couldn't play. Today, game one was good too, but then in the mid game we again just overforced some plays, and a lot of stuff. And game two, again, I just can't play. So it's quite frustrating — two out of the four games, from a general perspective, you just can't really play.

At the end of spring, Carzzy told me there were some in-game team issues, especially going into scrims. Would you say the team has moved past those, or is there still some adjusting left to do?

FIESTA's addition has been good for the environment overall. There are just different kinds of problems to fix now — more gameplay-related. But in terms of pure environment and how the split should go, I think it's an upgrade, a better thing.

Fiesta joined the roster for the Summer split. Do you feel a change like this is what the team needed to take a step forward?

I think it was needed — knowing everything that others don't know.

It's quite frustrating that we have to make such a change while other teams have their roster stable and can work together and constantly improve, and then we have to make a sudden change. But the change was needed, and I think it should be better long term.

The crowd hasn't been making it easy for you on this road trip. How is the team handling that, and especially FIESTA for his first LEC experience?

I think today was quite good — he did well in both games. In game two, after he solo killed twice, he made some mistakes, so maybe he got caught up in the hype or something. Yesterday was a bit worse — maybe it's his first time in Europe and you have to play in front of like 7k people. But the rest of the team handled it quite well. I think it's very enjoyable to play in front of a big crowd, even when they boo you.

It's a strange meta right now — mages picked in the bot lane, supports roaming out of lane minute one. How is the team adapting to it, and do you think that's what's making the difference between the strongest teams and yours right now?

I think it shouldn't be bad for us, in the way that there's a lot more fighting, and

In Europe we have some of the better skill through our hands and through fighting.

But we're also not that good right now in terms of support-jungle-mid, I suppose. And I think teams like KC

A small message for the Vitality fans still supporting you?

We are sh*t right now, but I'll make sure the team doesn't give up, and hopefully we can bounce back.
