Vitality coach on roster moves: Something had to change
XTQZZZ was certain that he and Vitality had to make some moves, he explains in an interview with 1pv.fr.
The star-studded Vitality side has not been up to their usual high levels so far in 2021, as the Frenchmen has lacked consistency and a steady form for the entire year. The otherwise dominant team has presented one disappointing result after another, even though possessing superstars like Richard “shox” Papillon and Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut.
The early exits at the prominent events of IEM Katowice ESL Pro League, seemed like that was the last straw for Vitality and the current roster. Following the disappointing showings, they announced the benching of their loyal servant Cédric "RpK" Guipouy, which paved the way for the rather unknown Jayson "Kyojin" Nguyen Van.
Rémy “XTQZZZ” Quoniam has now, in an interview with 1pv.fr, touched on the roster moves regarding the benching of RpK and Nivera and the signing of Kyojin, and why he believed that the timing was right.
- We arrived at the conclusion that something had to change. Some people say that we should just hold out until LANs are back, but those people don’t realize how long the season is and we don’t know when LANs will be back. There are big tournaments being played in the online era and we have to respect our organization, which needs good results.
