I was high on Vitality all last season, especially with the run into the major.

I was using the term of it being their Viagra.

I think that their learnings from...

the player break last year going into the second half, the second season.

I think they have a lot of learnings from that that are going to make them stronger and understand maybe some of the mental pitfalls that they fell into last time round.

Whether or not that means they're going to win everything, that's a whole different conversation.

But going into Krakow with what I saw played at Bounty, I still had Vitality as my heavy favorites.

I think that Furia definitely worked into the tournament.

They've worked into the year slowly.

I think that we've...

this probably by their own standards they're probably not delivering 100 of what they're capable of right now but they're they're right there they're right there they're at like you know 90 95 percent um to be where they need to be so i i think that uh they also slowly building a bit of this this resilience that's going to be necessary in games against vitality especially if they play more best of fives um so that's going to be something to keep an eye on there but

Yeah, I had Vitality as favorites to win this.

And I also still have them as favorites to win Cluj.

Because I asked myself how much can change within the span of a couple of days.

Now, this is where the next question comes in too.

Because one of the...

praise points for vitality throughout last year was how selective they were with the tournaments they attended, which was only also made possible by the winning, right?

They went hand in hand those two factors, but they are essentially doing three events straight, which is normally not a recipe for success for anybody.

So I'm curious to see how they go from tournament to tournament with only what was it four days off?

Yeah, that's my biggest monitoring point.
