flameZ calls the fact that jL is already familiar to the team a positive factor.

Because of the lack of full synergy, the team relied less on a complex playbook and focused more on fundamentals \u2014 trades, mutual support, and simply executing basic actions properly.<\/p>\n
It forces you to focus a bit more on the basics rather than the playbook. We paid a lot of attention to just trading each other properly and doing the basic things well.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n
flameZ also separately noted jL\u2019s energy. According to him, the Lithuanian adds more jokes and freshness to the communication, but at the same time brings his own aggressive style \u2014 moving a lot and constantly looking for opportunities for active plays.<\/p>\n
Vitality believe in returning to their peak<\/strong><\/h2>\nAfter a dominant period, the bar for Vitality became extremely high, so the current instability is especially noticeable. However, flameZ does not believe that the best days of this roster are already behind them, and he reminds that the team has already gone through difficult stretches before.<\/p>\n
We believe that we can get back to that level. We believe in everyone and in this roster. I don\u2019t think any of us believes there is a better team for him than this five.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n
For Vitality, the current decline looks more like another stage that needs to be overcome through practice and the search for stable form. flameZ believes that such difficult moments are sometimes exactly what a team needs to once again reach its peak.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/55508400048_75dd49c61f_k.jpg\")

flameZ even noted that the absence of other trophies in the second half of the season would not be a catastrophe if Vitality are able to win the Major.
