B1ad3: Vitality regain confidence with Legacy win in Cologne

Team Vitality regained confidence at IEM Cologne Stage 3 by defeating Legacy after a loss to Team Spirit. The result followed a match in which Vitality did not perform at full intensity, according to in-game leader B1ad3.

“This win is important for us because our goal for today was to wake up, first of all, to activate our potential,” B1ad3 said. He said the team wanted to bring energy and clearer structure and to restore louder, more frequent in-game communication that had been lacking.

The coach emphasized communication and enthusiasm as priorities for restoring form. He pointed to louder in-game calls, clearer micro plans and an “enthusiastic voice” from teammates as specific ways to generate ideas and remain a step ahead of opponents.

B1ad3 highlighted the roster’s experience, noting the players have been together for a long time and can identify what went wrong when results falter. “We are not a young team, we’ve played with this lineup for a long time, so we know our potential,” he observed.

On processing losses, B1ad3 said the squad can find problems without getting confused and can take concrete steps to fix them. He added the objective against Legacy was to show the roster it can be louder and more proactive in creating plays, and that the team expects to improve incrementally with each match.

B1ad3 described the Legacy win as an immediate morale boost after the setback versus Spirit and said the full interview will be published soon.
