YEKINDAR: "We want our revenge". Liquid vs Vitality

Vitality was always a tough opponent, specifically because of their individual style of play. Vitality players have a different sort of style than say, FaZe players. Obviously, ZywOo is always delivering but not just ZywOo, Spinx, Magisk, dupreeh, apEX, all of them. We had a taste of that at EPL Finals, and we want our revenge. What a story it would be if we beat Spirit, we beat FaZe, and we beat Vitality. Of course, we're just gonna try our best. Vitality is a great team.

YEKINDAR thinks that reaching the play-off is already a good result for Liquid at IEM Katowice 2023, but this time he would like to go further than the quarterfinals.

This is my second LAN Kato, my third overall. Last time, I lost in the quarterfinals to m0NESY and G2. Obviously, I want to go further, I think it's time for us to go further. I don't think we're in the best shape at the moment, but after that win against FaZe, we have all the chances to go deep into this tournament, but we will see. I'm happy to be here, I'm happy we qualified, and that's the main point.

The Latvian esportsman made a cautious statement that his team will try to win the trophy at IEM Katowice 2023. Galinski's caution is due to the fact that other professional players are reacting ambiguously to his statements in the interview.

I mean, obviously it could be possible. These two wins gave us a lot of confidence. We're just gonna play our hearts out and we will try to perform and we will try to win. I don't want to say anything outrageous since a lot of people can't read exactly what I mean in interviews. People are mad at me for saying some things. I just hope we win. I think this whole team deserves to win and it would be a great moment.
