Vitality now face Aurora, a team they have both lost to and beaten recently. After the match, flameZ gave HLTV an interview that shows what makes this lineup so hard to stop.

He posted a 1.32 rating in the group stage, and he kept that level going in the quarter-final.<\/p>\n<p>This form is not new for him. It put him in the MVP conversation at BLAST Open Rotterdam.

However, the die had been cast by then, thanks to flameZ\u2019s ferocious Inferno. As a result, Vitality can now focus on Aurora.<\/p>\n<h2>Inferno Through the Eyes of flameZ<\/h2>\n<p>For flameZ, the map was \u201ca pleasure\u201d. The reason was constant movement on TeamSpeak, with players calling plays and pushes every second. Individually, he and mezii hit nearly every bullet to the head, with some jump shots and knife kills along the way.<\/p>\n<p>The in-game leader Dan also played a big part. During the half, flameZ had a friendly warning for him: \u201cI\u2019m killing all your leftovers.\u201d Dan finished the half with 14 assists and seven kills, while flameZ had 16 kills and less damage. The numbers impressed flameZ. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy how much utility damage he does,\u201d he said of his teammate, and the damage made the follow-up kills much easier.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_432245\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-432245\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-432245\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-1400x934.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-1049x700.jpg 1049w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261009_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_19816-899x600.jpg 899w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-432245\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by ESL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Courage Over Preparation<\/h2>\n<p>Preparation matters at Vitality, and every player has an individual routine. Dan, MaT and R\u00e9my \u201cXTQZZZ\u201d all do big prep, while the rest of the team adds ideas that build confidence. Even so, flameZ sees one factor above the rest. \u201cThe one thing that brings the A game is just courage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his view, courage keeps the team dangerous even on a quiet day. Some games are not good for individual form. However, if everyone keeps moving and going for plays, the opponent struggles to reach the team.<\/p>\n<h2>The Talkative Entry Fragger<\/h2>\n<p>The interviewer pointed out that flameZ joined as a classic entry fragger and now speaks much more. flameZ agrees that communication is a strength. \u201cI\u2019m a chatty person,\u201d he laughs, and the team wants that energy on every round.<\/p>\n<p>His calls can be small. A quick \u201cYo, Dan, we can do that\u201d in the middle of a round gives the leader a new idea. At other times, the message goes to a teammate, with a simple push to make a play and \u201cdon\u2019t be scared\u201d. These short words, in his view, \u201cmake us win a lot of times\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 club-section__load-more-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <article class=\"club-hover-connect-parent\">\n    <div class=\"club-top-line\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-row club-gutter-none\">\n                    <div class=\"club-col-4 club-col-6-xs\">\n                <figure class=\"picture-16x9 picture-with-gradient\">\n                    <a class=\"club-hover-connect club-hover-connect-img\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/aurora-eliminate-1win-to-reach-semifinals-at-esl-pro-league-season-24\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n                        <picture class=\"\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-768x512.jpg.webp 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-1400x934.jpg.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-768x512.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-1400x934.jpg 2x\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-768x512.jpg.webp 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-1400x934.jpg.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-768x512.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-1400x934.jpg 2x\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261006_Adela-Sznajder_EPLS24-KTW_13042-1400x934.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n<\/picture>                    <\/a>\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"club-col-8 club-col-6-xs club-box-bg--gradient\">\n            <div class=\"club-box-def club-full-height\">\n                <div class=\"club-dynamic-dotted-wrap club-full-height\">\n                    <h3 class=\"club-h4-title\">\n                        <a class=\"club-link-primary club-hover-connect club-dynamic-dotted__text\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/aurora-eliminate-1win-to-reach-semifinals-at-esl-pro-league-season-24\">\n                            Aurora eliminate 1win to reach semifinals at ESL Pro League Season 24                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-bottom-line\"><\/div>\n<\/article>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Aurora Await in the Next Round<\/h2>\n<p>According to HLTV, flameZ is excited about the match with Aurora.
