Vitality’s AD carry Matyáš “Carzzy” Orság remains focused and composed despite a 2–0 loss to MKOI in the LEC. While acknowledging his team’s strategic missteps, particularly around early dragon control and a challenging draft, Carzzy emphasized the importance of growth, synergy with support Fleshy, and maintaining a performance-driven mindset. His message is clear: the team’s eyes are set on Worlds, and every stage game is a stepping stone toward that goal.

Worlds Qualification Is Non-Negotiable
For Carzzy, seeding is secondary. The defining factor is consistent in-game performance. Whether facing top-tier teams like G2 or BDS early or late, he believes that a team destined for Worlds must be ready to take on all challengers.
“Personally I do not care much if we end up first or fourth. If you are a good team, you have to beat everyone anyway.”
Interestingly, he views a lower bracket path as a potential advantage rather than a setback. The extra stage time and exposure to high-pressure best-of-five matches may be more beneficial than starting with a favorable seed.
“Lower bracket could even be better for us because we would get more stage reps and best of five practice. Maybe you dodge G2, maybe not, but that is not the focus.”
The team’s goal is aligned and their ambition unyielding.
“I expect us to make Worlds and I think everyone on the team is on the same page. We have what it takes to make it to worlds.”
Mid laner Czajek reinforced this sentiment in a recent interview with LOLNOW.GG, underlining the shared goal across the Vitality roster.
LEC Format Raises Concerns
Carzzy has voiced criticism of the current LEC format, particularly the brevity of the regular season phase. With only four games played before playoffs, each match imposes disproportionate weight on standings.
“I do not like it. It is too short, the groups feel a bit unbalanced, and it is awkward to play so little.”
He expressed a clear preference for more comprehensive formats, such as best-of-threes across the board. While acknowledging that not all matchups may capture peak viewership, he argued that competitive integrity and improvement should take precedence.
“I would much rather play best of threes against everyone if possible. I get that some matchups might not draw the best viewership every time, but more stage games would be better for competition.”
Identifying the Root of the MKOI Defeat
Analyzing the loss to MKOI, Carzzy pointed to objective control as a defining factor in Game 1. The game was prolonged, with major neutral objectives creating swing potential that slipped away due to early dragon mismanagement.
“It [game 1] was a long game with a lot of objectives, there were two Elder drakes and two Barons. If we had those early dragons the game would have looked very different. That is on us.”
Game 2 brought further complications. The team’s draft – featuring Nautilus, Xayah, and Twisted Fate into Braum and Sivir – proved risky and difficult to execute. Carzzy didn’t mince words when reflecting on the composition’s limitations.
“We are not a good enough team right now to play that kind of draft. It requires a lot of creativity and very strong game understanding because it is hard to execute and not that strong by default.”
The decision not to ban Braum became a focal point of critique, as it countered multiple elements of Vitality’s composition and compounded their in-game challenges.
“The biggest problem was leaving Braum open into our composition, he was good into everything we had and that made the game much harder.”
Carzzy remains optimistic and sees long-term value in experience gained, even from losses. Strategic missteps are learning opportunities that drive progress toward Vitality’s end goal.
Building Vitality’s Future
This split marks a new chapter for Team Vitality, with Carzzy bringing veteran leadership to a lineup now featuring Fleshy as support. Fleshy’s arrival signals a strategic shift, relying on chemistry and growth as the split unfolds. With solid showings in off-season events, the team seeks to convert potential into deep playoff performance and ultimately a qualification for Worlds.
