Vitality needed change, not only in the roster itself but also in its approach to the game. Management replaced three of their players and decided not to sub in any more Academy members, at least for now. After three weeks of Summer competition, the results aren’t outstanding, but in comparison to the last split, it’s much improved.<\/p>\n
As of now, the French organisation is sitting on a 3-4 record, which has been achieved by beating Schalke 04, SK Gaming and the defending champions, G2 Esports. <\/p>\n
Lucas “Cabochard” Simon-Meslet’s squad isn’t yet seen as a contender for the playoffs, but with proper preparation, attitude and work put into self-improvement, anything is possible for the European side. <\/p>\n

Vitality’s coach and top laner, Hadrien “Duke” Forestier, recently shed some light on their goals for the split in an interview on Vitality’s Twitch channel<\/a>. When asked to judge their performance so far, the player has expressed his happiness with how they are doing. “I’m pretty satisfied; we could learn a lot from our losses where we more or less managed to execute our game plan. […] I expected us to be a bit higher in the standings, but we have a lot of room to improve.”<\/p>\n

What’s more, Duke agreed with most of what his player had to say and added a bit of his perspective. “Our results are OK, we are still playoff contenders, but we lack consistency.”<\/p>\n
