In a pivotal round on Inferno, as it became known, Natus Vincere captain Aleksi Aleksib Virolainen heroically won a clutch in a one-versus-four situation. And here's what iM himself says about this clutch:

It was really cool. I remember w0nderful saying, 'You have the AWP, just save it.' And then he killed a guy near the plant and just started defusing. After that, AleksiB said, 'I knew they would be chasing me.'

  

Today at 17:00, the match between Natus Vincere and Team Vitality for a place in the BLAST Premier: World Final 2023 final will begin. And here are iM's expectations for this match:

We are thirsty for revenge. Even when I was in GamerLegion, we lost to Team Vitality every time. We lost to them in the major final. I really want to take revenge, especially in front of a crowd. They are a very strong opponent. We will try to prepare for them as usual.
