Spinx about the match with Astralis

Vitality player Lotan "Spinx" Giladi shared his thoughts on his team's victory over Astralis in the group stage of the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 for Counter-Strike 2. In an interview with HLTV, Giladi stated that the situation with Astralis did not affect his mindset during the match.

"I feel good. We dominated as a team and individually. I’m just happy we’re performing at such a level because not only are we winning, but the way we’re winning – we’re not giving our opponents a single round. If we can, we’re fully focused on the game. So yes, it’s a good feeling.

[Were you even more focused, considering who you were playing against?] Personally, no, I don’t care about the situation at all. But I know some people wanted us to win because of certain circumstances. So, I’m happy for them, and happy for myself just because I won the game."

The Israeli esports athlete also discussed the team's goal for the tournament in Copenhagen.

"[Are you ready to lift the trophy?] In some way, yes. First of all, we’re not immediately thinking about the title. We have another game ahead, and we’re focused on one game at a time. But we are Vitality, and when we’re in a tournament, the title is always our goal."

The BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 is taking place from 25 to 29 September in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a total prize pool of $425,000 to be shared among eight teams. The winner will also secure a spot at the BLAST Premier World Final 2024.
