Legacy is struggling after a strong start to the season. The team, which had climbed to second place in VRS, is now 13th. During this period, in-game leader Andrei "arT" Piovezan fell ill and could not practice for about two weeks. Then the team made a roster change when Vinicius "n1ssim" Pereira was benched.

Santino "try" Rigal spoke to HLTV at the BLAST Rivals Season 2 media day. Rigal said the team felt too relaxed after reaching the top, and that this, combined with its existing problems, led to negative results. Legacy was eliminated in last place at IEM Beijing, after arT's return. Italo "ksloks" Meinberg played his first matches with the team at this tournament. It was also noted that when the team arrived in Beijing with its new players, it had only one day of practice.

Rigal also assessed his own performance. The player, who said he had struggled at recent tournaments, admitted that he got too angry while playing, and that this affected both his own game and the team. He said he is better in this regard in Beijing and that he continues to work on it.

Rigal said the team likes each other and that this bond could help turn things around. In his view, the solution is simply to talk to each other and support one another.
