Team Vitality secured a successful run to the playoffs at BLAST Open Porto despite playing their first event with a stand-in.

jL joined the lineup for the tournament, stepping in to fill a crucial role alongside apEX. The in-game leader delivered a strong individual performance throughout the initial stages of the competition, driving his squad forward.

Reflecting on his own form and the roster’s collective output, the French captain shared his thoughts on their competitive ceiling.

“When I play like that, I think we’re such a dangerous team,” apEX said.

With the playoff berth now secured, Vitality aims to maintain this momentum in the next rounds of the tournament.
