Now that NAVI is in Grand Final, jL was asked by esports.net about the criticism the team received in the past few months. He shared that he doesn't really care what people say and that winning Major wasn't a fluke. Right now, they might not be the best team but they are in the Grand Final and other major teams like FaZe and Vitality are out.

"I don’t really care what other people say. Was it a fluke? Was it a one-time tournament? We won the Major. We were the best team at the Major, hence why we won it, it doesn’t matter the bracket," jL said.

He further added, "We played the winner that beat Spirit, Vitality. We beat FaZe fair and square. Some people are saying it was a fluke Major or whatever. We were the best team at that time, maybe we’re not the best team now but look at us. We’re in the Grand Final and where’s the rest of the teams? Vitality is out, FaZe is out."

You can watch Spirit taking on NAVI in-person at OVO Arena Wembley in London or you can watch the match online at the official BLAST Premier Twitch and YouTube channels.
