VITALTY: Org Overview

ORG HISTORY
-Team Vitality is an esports org headquartered in Paris that was founded in 2013
-Vitality started as a fairly small org but quickly worked their way into the spotlight after purchasing Gambit’s LEC spot in 2015, signaling their entry in League of Legends. They still have a foothold in the game today
-Since starting in League, Vitality have expanded into Rocket League, R6, Cod mobile, CSGO, and Valorant
-The team has gained some notoriety in CSGO, largely around ZyWoo and the acquisitions of major Astralis players, dupreeh and magisk.

ROSTER HISTORY
2021
-Vitality started in 2021 as FrenzyGoKill, a pug European team with the players

Cender
Feqew
Bramz
M4CHINA
Vakk

-They wou;d start by making a name for themselves by qualifying for Redbull Home Ground, but would go out in quarters against G2. They would get signed by Vitality in Feburary, right ahead of the first VCT challengers qualifier
-Unfortunately, the team would not make it far, unable to get past the Ro16 in Challengers 1, Ro32 in Challengers 2, and Ro64 in Challengers 3, ending their chances of attending Masters 1.
-During the break between splits, M4CHINA and Feqew would both depart the roster, being replaced by LoWkii and JESMUND.
-This roster would see much more success, tearing through the open bracket to make it into the closed qualifier, but faced consecutive losses to Acend and FPX, forcing them to play through opens again
-Vitality would run it back through the open qualifier to secure a spot in the main event following a win against Giants. They would send Acend home before being eliminated by Fnatic, ending their chances of attending Masters 2
-Entering the final split of the year, Vitality opted to not change their roster. They would fail to make a run in the first Challengers with any early loss to FPX, and would claw their way through the lower bracket to earn a spot in the main event, which could seed them into playoffs
-However, they would face consecutive losses to Liquid and Team BDS, ending their chances of attending playoffs
-Due to their failure to make any playoffs throughout the year, Vitality did not accrue any circuit points, and would not attend LCQ, ending their VCT season very early

2022
-After a slew of roster changes which I’m not going to cover (you’ll see why soon), Vitality failed to qualify for the Challengers group stage, locking them out of international competition. The team would play through the French VRL, with mediocre results (and a lot of draws).
-Upon entering the regular season of the French VRL, Vitality would drop their old roster except for cender and sign 5 new players. The new vitality roster was:

-BONECOLD
-baddyG
-h1ber
-cender
-nataNk
-YoZeii (sub)

-After a bumpy start to the season by starting down 1-3, Vitality rallied and ended the French VRL 14-4 and as the second seed in their group, earning them a spot in playoffs
-In playoffs, Vitality would win a Bo5 barnburner against KCorp, before sweeping MAD lions 3-0 to qualify for the VRL finals
-At the VRL finals, they would start with a loss to Tenstar and bounce back with wins against XL and win a rematch against Tenstar to qualify for playoffs
-In playoffs they would beat Futbolist in quarters and Case Esports in semis to make it to Grand Finals
-In the grand finals they would get reverse swept by Futbolist and lose 2-3, ending their VRL season in 2nd place. The squad has not played a match since.

RUMORED ROSTER MOVES
-baddyG, YoZeii, h1ber, and nataNk have all been allowed to explore other options
-BONECOLD and cender have been retained
-Vitality are currently rumored to be signing twisten, molsi, and destrian to round out their roster, although the move has not yet been confirmed
-Should the leaks be true, Vitality will be;

-twisten
-molsi
-destrian
-BONECOLD
-cender

goddamn once again he does not fail to impress me

good job!!!! i really find these org overviews really interesting!!! also you put a semi colon in “would” after showing the initial roster!!!

Nice, really like you work with this posts

Make one of Loud

I love this roster apart from Destrian honestly. I think they picked him up mostly because he's really cheap but I would very much have preferred to see them bring Vakk back or grab a guy like Zeek, Musashi, Jady, Patitek or even Mistic(ik controversial lol) to be in that flex spot to play fade, kayo, and breach.

Molsi and Twisten however are crazy underrated star level players from bad teams which makes them perfect for a super experienced IGL in Bonecold and Cender whos been around for ages and can play many roles.

Giga common Ryan W + @mods get this guy as a writer already he clearly knows what he’s doing.

do people actually read the whole thing
