Team Vitality, a leading esports club in France and Europe, has just won its second Rocket League World Championship. This title adds to the perfect split already achieved by the team, winning the three regionals and the Spring Split Major in Boston. The start of a historic season for the club's 10th anniversary: this is the first time a team has managed to win a perfect split and a World Championship.
A FLAWLESS RUN TOWARDS VICTORY
Team Vitality started the qualifying phases directly in the Main Event (Group Stage) of the championship. The roster, composed of French players Yanis “Alpha54” Champenois (captain), Andrea “Radosin” Radovanović, and Alexis “zen” Bernier, managed to confirm its status as a leader by holding its own against Moist Esports and Spacestation Gaming in the group stage.
Qualified for the playoffs, the team managed to build momentum throughout the BO against the Saudi team Team Falcons. Against the last representative of the MENA region, Radosin showed decisive gameplay on the field. It was from the semi-final against Karmine Corp that the level was raised by another notch. Despite a shaky start, the players once again found exceptional mental strength in Radosin, allowing his teammates to shine.
In the tournament final, Team Vitality managed to overcome BDS after a thrilling BO7. Team Vitality tastes international glory again after winning the World Championships for the first time in 2019 with players Kaydop, FairyPeak, and Scrub Killa. This crowning achievement took place in front of a hundred fired-up Golden Hornets and tens of thousands of spectators present at the PSD Bank Dome.
“What a magnificent run! I am incredibly proud of this team. They were able to show their determination and superiority in the most important event of the season. They have already written a new chapter in the history of the game and our club in just three months. It is simply incredible. As a club, it is exactly for this kind of moment that we fight every day. And then lifting two major trophies for our 10th anniversary year, we couldn't have dreamed of anything better!” says Fabien ‘Neo’ Devide, President and co-founder of Team Vitality
