The opening week of the 2024 LEC season has been a disappointing start for the revamped team Vitality, with three consecutive losses putting them at risk of an early elimination.

Esports.net: What do you think went wrong against BDS?
Carzzy: I think we were just too passive and unwilling to engage in fights. The game boiled down to the fact that we didn’t take any action.
Is that an ongoing issue for Vitality? What needs fixing to avoid early elimination?
Carzzy: With the format, it’s really difficult to recover from a 0-3 start. We now need to win at least three games, and we have already played one of the easiest teams. So we really need to elevate our performance.
I think the solution isn’t too difficult. We have good practice…
I’d say the problem is that we are hesitant to make decisive plays in official games.
Why do you think that might be?
Carzzy: I’m not entirely sure. I have no idea why this is happening.
Lee Jones: Before this season, you left MAD Lions to rejoin Vitality.
How did that play out and were there any other options?
So basically, I knew for sure I was out of MAD Lions. I was looking for other options. It was kind of difficult because the teams were kind of locked with AD carries, or all the teams I would like. There was only BDS, Vitality, and Fnatic that I had as options. But yeah, that’s it, just these three teams.
Lee Jones: Did you plan to stay with Hylissang?
Carzzy: No, no, no, that was spontaneous.

You’ve reunited with coaches Mac and Pad. Did that play a part in choosing Vitality?
Carzzy: Yes, that definitely played a role, having Mac and Pad as coaches.
Lee Jones: Carter also joined the coaching setup.
How has that dynamic been?
Carzzy: I believe they’re complementing each other well, working together effectively as a trio. I was surprised Carter blended in really well instantly – he’s very useful.
Lee Jones: You’ve arguably got the nicest hair in the LEC.
What are your top three players with the best hair in the league?
I think it’s me number one. I would say actually Humanoid number two, and Hans Sama number three.
