Spinx is not stressed after a narrow win over G2

Spinx on Heroic rematch: "I'm not worried"

The Israeli rifler believes more needs to be done on the team's T-sides.

The BLAST Premier Spring Finals' second semifinal saw a clash of titans, with Paris Major champions Vitality tussling with G2 for the coveted grand final spot versus Heroic. After a lengthy three-map affair, Vitality pulled through with a 16-12 scoreline on the decider of Nuke to lock in their place in the finals.

Shortly after their win versus G2, Vitality rifler Lotan "Spinx" Giladi spoke with Dust2.us' Samuel "Draik04" Popkes regarding his feelings after the match, overcoming G2 after a tough loss on the first map, and his thoughts on facing off against Heroic.

Pretty close game, how are you feeling after the win?

I feel good! It's always nice to win these close games. I'm just happy we kept calm.

You had a tough loss on Anubis, with a rough CT-side in particular. What was going wrong there?

First of all, I think we had a good start on the T-side. We should get more rounds on the T-side but we didn't, so it was hard to win as the CT when you have such a good start but didn't win so many rounds on T. The CT-side of this map is hard. We had some good situations, but they won the important rounds.

On Inferno, things went super well for you guys. Obviously, you anticipated this pick from G2, but what was working out for you guys on that map?

After the first map we just said, if you play 5% better, we will win this. We came to Inferno with full power; we started really strong and we didn't let them win any rounds. Of course, their Inferno is really good, we didn't play Inferno for a while in officials, and our Inferno is also good, so we managed to win this one.

Would you say you were full power on Nuke, because that was quite a bit closer?

On Nuke, I feel it was a bit like Anubis' T-side. We had a good start, we could have more rounds, we didn't. We won the important rounds on the CT-side, and this time it was our win.

You're slated to play Heroic in the finals, a rematch of IEM Rio's finals. How do you feel about that game?

Just really good overall. I'm confident about my team. I can count on my team in these situations, they know how to perform. I'm not worried actually, I'm just happy we managed to get another grand final, and enjoying the moment.

Spinx and the rest of Vitality will return to the server tomorrow, as they are set to play against Vitality on Sunday at Today 02:30PM.
