VIT Carzzy: “If Nisqy improves fast, I think we can win the split”

After an impressive 2-0 victory against GIANTX in Week 1, I discussed the eventful LEC offseason of Vitality with Matyáš “Carzzy” Orság. But also the huge progress of his topside, Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer’s adaptation, playing aggressive as an ADC, and his ambitions for the Spring split.

Ethan: I feel like even though you guys overplayed once or twice, overall, you were looking much better when it came to tempo, controlling the pace of the game and everything. But I also feel like your top side kinda stole you the show today.

How do you feel after today’s matches?

Carzzy: Overall, I felt really happy.

After the change, I feel like as a team, it started to be a lot easier for us to play together and like make plans. There is way less chaos in the game and everyone is on the same page, which wasn’t happening before.

So I think that helps a lot. I think that my top laner and mid laner started playing a lot better and my jungler especially started playing way, way better than he was before. Bot lane is way harder than when I was playing with Hyli. You could see it today. We were kind of struggling on the bot lane department. I think it was Nisqy’s first competitive game as support, so it was like quite chaotic, or not chaotic, but like stressed. I’d say that he doesn’t really know the limits and what to do yet. I was thinking if I have to like, tell him or help him. But then it was kind of hard matchup in the second game for us on bot lane. So we were just losing anyway. I’m happy that my top side played really well though. I can rely on them.

Ethan: You just said that your top side started playing better with those changes.

What’s the reason behind that change of way to play for your top side?

Carzzy: I think that it’s literally the change of support because the scrims are way better now and I think they can be more like confident making their own calls, and people following it. And they can practice more in scrims because they are just better quality now. So I think they gain confidence from that to play well on stage.

Ethan: I have to come back especially on those moves and on this off season for you. You’ve been sharing the rift with Hyli for two years now.

Was it hard for you when you learned that you’ll be separated with Hylissang from now on? And how did you kind of handle and process it all?

Carzzy: I mean, when I learned it, I was sad for him, but I knew that some changes needed to happen, otherwise this team was doomed. So I mean, I was sad for Hyli because I really like him. He’s my good friend. And I think that me and him were playing really, really well together when it came to laning phase and playing 2v2.

I think that we were probably one of the best, like top two, top three for most of the years in like pure 2v2.

So I was sad about this, that it’s gonna be way more difficult for me now that Hyli leaves when it comes to laning and stuff. But I knew that the team needed some change and I just went with it, you know.

Ethan: And I guess you had to kind of take on a new role with Nisqy to like learn him the 2v2 matchups, how to play the laning phase, how to play the transition to mid game etc.

How did you manage to endorse that new role with Nisqy?

Carzzy: I think that sometimes I’m trying to help him way too much and like micromanage him, which can create more negative influence than the positive. So I have to be a little bit aware of that. I’m really allergic to like getting stomped and losing lane. So sometimes I can be over eager when it comes to this and I can like force him to do some stuff in scrims or like tell him what to do like hard force it, which is not good for him since it decreases the amount of his self learning. So I need to be quite aware of this. And I mean I think he’s doing pretty, pretty well for like an autofill player who’s playing support for like one month, something like that. I think that he’s doing really well.

Ethan: And a question for the curious Vitality fans because Nisqy is very vocal about scrims on Twitter…

Is Nisqy actually sharing random scrim results or is it actually accurate?

Carzzy: It’s accurate results.

Ethan: To talk about you individually. I feel like in the recent years it came down a lot on either you 1v9 or either sometimes you kind of run it down. And obviously I think it also comes down to Hyli’s playstyle a lot.

Do you think playing on the edge has always been your philosophy on how the game should be played as an AD carry?

Carzzy: I really like playing on the edge because I dislike staying back and letting my team carry or like just watching and waiting for the right opportunity. I also want to create these opportunities for myself or for, like, other teammates because usually ADCs just waits for their team to create the space or, get the people low or, make them use spells… But I also like doing it as an AD carry. Make people use spells on me or like, get them in bad position by engaging on me and stuff like this. You know, I enjoy it way more than playing the old traditional way or like the most common way the AD carries do. I think it brings more excitement to the viewers as well. So I just like it that way. But it’s like, way riskier and some of the plays look really, really bad. It often looks sh*it if it goes wrong.

Ethan: You’ve also experienced many highs and many lows since leaving MAD Lions in 2021.

How do you look back on your LEC career so far and are you proud of what you achieved?

Carzzy: I mean, I think I’m quite happy about my LEC career because I’ve won three times…

Ethan: Especially for someone that never played with Caps.

Carzzy: Yeah, usually if you don’t play with Caps, you don’t win that many times…

I think KC have a really good roster to do it this time around because I think that G2’s roster got a lot weaker. So I think that KC might do what we did in 2021, where they win all the splits, back to back.

I think through my choices and stuff, I’m happy because I always chose, the people and where I can, in my opinion, perform the best. Where it’s the biggest challenge for me. And that’s what I was looking for most of the times. So I’m quite happy.

Are you still confident that you can be able to stay on the top of the region’s ADCs despite the recent setbacks, but also the new addition of Nisqy as your support?

Carzzy: I feel like I’m gonna stay on top, like top four.

As long as I stay in LEC, I will always be top 4 AD carry at least.

Ethan: Now that you got to practice much with that new roster and see where you are at with scrims and everything.

What are your ambitions for this split? Would you say it’s realistic for VIT to win it all in the end?

Carzzy: It depends how fast Nisqy improves.

If he improves fast I legit think we can win the split. If he improves slower then I think top four.

Depends how fast of a learner he is.

Ethan: And so far you told me he was a pretty good student so maybe it’s possible…

Do you have a message for the fans before we close the interview?

Carzzy: I’d like to thank you all for supporting us and I think that you guys are going to enjoy watching Team Vitality this time around with Nisqy because it’s going to be content after content.
