"I believe I performed well. I fulfilled the minimum task for the tournament by advancing from the group stage to the playoffs. I even managed to win my group, where all opponents were professional esports players. In three matches of the second round, I didn't concede any goals.

Unfortunately, I couldn't advance to the quarterfinals as in the Round of 16, I lost to one of the strongest players in eFootball history representing FC Barcelona. It was due to a lack of experience playing against such opponents. However, now other competitors will respect and fear Ukrainian esports players even more." — Vitaliy bydbprosche Lytvynov commented on his performance at the European Esports Championship 2022.
