On the eve of the first Vitality match at BLAST Premier Spring Groups, Emil “Magisk” Reif gave an interview to the HLTV portal, talking about the current mood of the team and the players’ immediate plans. Vitality recently made one of the most talked about transfers of recent months: in addition to Magisk, two more former Astralis members joined the team – Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen and Danny "zonic" Sørensen.
Magisk noted that from the first days in the new team he was impressed by how focused the players and management were on success. The team strives to provide eSports players with all the necessary resources so that they can improve their level and win new trophies. Comparing this mood with the last months in Astralis, Reif mentioned that the situation in the Danish team was somewhat different. Although the players also strived to win, the team as a whole was more focused not on current results, but on building a new project that would work in the long term.
Magisk also said that the new Vitality lineup has been training together for about three weeks. Although for the Danes communication during the game is in English – This is a new experience, the language barrier does not cause serious problems for players. The immediate goal of the team – improve the game enough to beat NAVI, although they understand that this will take time. Magisk is confident that Vitality's members have enough talent to make it the best team in the world.
