MOUZ player Lotan Spinx Giladi gave a short interview to Players correspondent Sofiia Pikhalo after defeating Vitality and reaching the finals of IEM Cologne 2025.
Congratulations on today's match, it was like 2-0, it was really quickly for my opinion. What do you feel about it?
I just feel a big relief right now, I'm super happy we managed to beat them this time, so just a huge relief.
How much you're happy that you beat their win streak?
What win streak?
Because I remember that they had win streak like 36, like 30 plus maps and it's really too much. And also for against you as a team they had like a lot.
Yeah, they had a win streak of bo3, right? This one, because they lost to Legacy in the Major, so in the bo1. I don't really care about it. They had a huge streak, I think also the bo3 streak is insanely impressive. But I think the streak they had before Legacy was, that was the streak I think at least people look into.
Did you have some other preparations, like more preparations, because you had more matches with Vitality than with other teams?
No, no, we didn't prepare anything extra. We thought what we could do better than the games we played them before. And it was always in the small details, we could do better on a lot of stuff. And I think this time we did it, and that's it.
Did you expect that ZywOo and flameZ will be playing that bad?
You never know who is going to play good or bad. Of course ZywOo is a beast and maybe one of the most consistent players in the world. But he's a human being and it's life.
How are you planning to beat spirit tomorrow?
Again, I don't think it's nothing special, I just think we need to show our game. We need to play like we want to. And also today I think it will definitely help us with the confidence of the team. So nothing special, we just need to show up on the arena.
After what you saw today with their match against NAVI, did you see something special that you can use today to beat them tomorrow?
I didn't look into the match that much, because we were also preparing for our game. So I have no idea, I don't know.
But will donk be donked?
Maybe we will be donked, maybe him, I don't know, we'll see tomorrow.
I hope so, I really hope so. Thank you very much. How do you think Ropz and his curse with Porsche have influenced that match, his team and himself?
I have no idea. I'm not that into a car guy, like he is probably. Sick car, but I don't know, I think it's just unlucky.
Which car would you choose instead?
Which car would I choose instead? I don't know. I have a BMW, but I don't know what's good and what's not good.
You BMW guy?
Default guy.
