The French coach of Vitality, XTQZZZ, confirmed that the Israeli player Spinx did consider changing teams after the BLAST Spring Final. However, he emphasized that this was not due to conflicts in the team or with the British player mezii, as some sources suggested. According to the coach, Spinx's reasons were purely gaming, and the issue of his departure was closed back in June after consultations with the club's management, all of which he shared in a podcast for Le Club.

XTQZZZ denies rumors of negotiations with huNter-.

In addition, XTQZZZ categorically denied rumors of negotiations with Serbian player huNter-. The coach noted that Vitality never contacted this player either before or after the IEM Cologne tournament. He emphasized that the club constantly keeps its finger on the pulse, considering possible options to strengthen the roster, but no specific changes are planned at the moment.

Could it be better with someone else? Nobody knows. Could it be worse? You don't know. What bothers me is that people are trying to make this guy out to be a noob. There aren't many anchors better than him right now. I'm sorry. You can give me one or two names, but after that... Anchors are a rare breed.

XTQZZZ: Vitality was seriously preparing for IEM Cologne

The coach also commented on the rumors that Vitality came to IEM Cologne as a “dead” team. He stated that these claims were unfounded, as the team had been seriously preparing for this tournament, working on their form for six weeks. According to XTQZZZ, it is impossible to win big tournaments like Cologne or Katowice in today's environment if the team is not at the peak of its form.

XTQZZZ on the importance of balance in the team

In conclusion, XTQZZZ emphasized that criticizing one player is not fair, as the success of the team depends on the work of the entire team. He noted that in case of failure, all players should be held responsible, not just the one who is chosen as a “victim” by the fans.
