He signed with Vitality ahead of franchising and was with the squad throughout their roster changes over two years.

Denied playoffs, Vitality opted to make changes and move Salah to an inactive position on the roster whilst promoting Gorilla. The new coach must prepare his squad for their Stage 2 appearance following the conclusion of Masters Shanghai.

The golden hornets have now diverted their attention towards Champions, the last international LAN event of the year, as their final destination. Having only racked up three Championship Points across Stage 1, Vitality will need to make a deep playoffs run in order to catch up with the competition.
