To be honest, Inferno was a pleasure on the map. Every second that we talked with each other, there was movement, there was, 'Let's do that.

Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Team Vitality still has to answer for this: "It's the type of form that got him into the MVP conversation at BLAST Open Rotterdam, and saw him earn four EVPs in the first half of 2026." That is the soft spot on the card. Nothing else in these lines closes it.
