Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov said that at first he was in shock after his team’s victory over Vitality at IEM Atlanta.

The BetBoom Team captain’s thoughts were shared on Telegram.

“I think the first hour was spent in a state of shock. Now—joy, happiness. We need to stay focused because there are more games ahead. I didn’t have any expectations at all; I just wanted to play. Obviously, there aren’t many opportunities to play in a Tier 1 tournament against Vitality—after all, they’re the best team in the world right now. We prepared, discussed picks, and Fierce watched their recent games.”

According to Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov, once the shock wore off, the esports player felt genuine joy from the victory. The BetBoom Team captain admitted that his team didn’t have high expectations for the match initially, as the roster members understood they were about to face the best team on the pro scene.
