HLTV Confirmed with NBK-: Spirit's hot start, Vitality issues, Major check-in, EWC preview

The show will go live at 16:00 .

Milan "⁠Striker⁠" Švejda and Zvonimir "⁠Professeur⁠" Burazin are joined by Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt on today's episode of HLTV Confirmed as Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill misses out due to travel to the upcoming Esports World Cup.

The episode will focus on what we saw at BLAST Bounty and the implications it has for the rest of the year. Spirit took back-to-back tournaments and are looking better than ever this year, and are expected to get another change (upgrade?) soon.

Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets picked up another MVP and is making the #1 race exciting again, while Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool admits Vitality's games have been a "red flag". We will also touch on MongolZ and MOUZ, two teams that beat Vitality but couldn't convert that into titles.

In the rest of the show, we will check in on the race for Major spots as we are a month and a half away from the deadline day, and preview the $1.250.000 tournament in Saudi Arabia.
