Zywoo Identifies the Main Reason Behind Vitality's Losses

Mathieu “Zywoo” Erbo stated that at the IEM Cologne Major 2026, the Vitality roster not only faced strong opponents but also failed to demonstrate their best level of preparation, which caused the team to struggle.

The player made this statement on YouTube.

“At this Major, we’re playing against very strong teams, but at the same time, we’re not showing our best CS. We’re making too many individual mistakes, we’re not trading well, and we’re not working together well enough. That’s why we sometimes create difficulties for ourselves. We need to rediscover the style we had before, to get back to our best CS. I think we’ll look different in the playoffs because we enjoy playing on stage. So everything should be fine.”

According to Mathieu “Zywoo” Erbo, Vitality players have started making a lot of individual mistakes and aren’t showing their best team play. The esports player acknowledged that the team needs to return to its previous level of gameplay, which the Vitality players will strive to do during the IEM Cologne Major 2026 playoffs.

As a reminder, Mathieu “ZywOo” Erbo previously shared how he takes a break from playing Counter-Strike 2.
