apEX admits poor calling after Vitality ’s BLAST Rivals elimination

Vitality captain apEX has accepted responsibility for his team’s disappointing BLAST Rivals campaign, describing his decision-making as “probably my worst calling in a long, long time.”

Speaking to HLTV after the quarterfinal defeat to Mouz , he said limited preparation had lowered his expectations before the event.

Preparation and execution both fell short

apEX explained that the paternity leave taken by himself and mezii had created an anticipated challenge for the season.

However, he also identified problems within matches. Vitality lost all four pistol ROUNDS against Mouz , while poor reads and unsuccessful late-round situations had contributed to its earlier defeat against FURIA Esports .

He acknowledged that Mouz ’s pace caught Vitality off guard and that some of his calls on Cache undermined opportunities to Regain control.

Major preparation becomes the priority

apEX intends to limit his time off and review both his own calling and the ways opponents have adapted to Vitality .

His Focus is on improving reads, developing new approaches and rebuilding the team’s level before the Singapore Major, having accepted that its Hong Kong performance fell below its capabilities.
