The Israeli rifler, Shahar “flameZ” Shushan, expressed his enthusiasm after Vitality achieved a remarkable 24th consecutive victory, marking their fifth straight appearance in a grand final.

Match Overview

In a post-game chat, flameZ reflected on this achievement and the overall atmosphere within the team:

• “I’m just happy that we beat Spirit in that 24th game; it’s rewarding to break another streak against a solid team.”
  Translation: “I’m just happy that we beat Spirit in that 24th game; it’s nice to break another streak against a good team.”

Reflections on Performance

Vitality’s dominance is reminiscent of the legendary dynasty of Astralis, and their sustained success is showing no signs of stopping. After defeating Spirit decisively with a 2-0 score, the team has an upcoming rematch against Falcons after demonstrating they can deliver under pressure following their recent grand slam victory.

• “What drives us is the experience built from playoffs to playoffs. The communication and energy we have now is something that can’t be replicated in practice,” flameZ noted.
  Translation: “What keeps us up right now is the experience from playoff into playoff… this is impossible to replicate in practice.”

Upcoming Challenges

Addressing the team’s future ambitions, he remarked on breaking the existing records.

• “While extending our win streak to achieve NIP’s record might not be our immediate goal, we are certainly leaving no stone unturned. If we can, maybe a grand slam prize from HLTV would be nice!”
  Translation: “I think that’s gonna be very tough… if it happens, it happens, maybe you should give us like a Grand Slam for that, HLTV, huh?”
