TEAM VITALITY UNVEILS ITS 2023 ROSTERS FOR THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS EMEA CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE FRENCH LEAGUE

  • Team Vitality's new LEC line-up features explosive young players and internationally renowned talent.
  • Player Bo was added to the LEC main roster after joining Team Vitality during the 2022 season.
  • Team Vitality's LFL roster will begin a new cycle and develop promising talents.

Team Vitality, a leading esports club in France and Europe, unveils its new rosters for the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) and the French League of Legends League (LFL). The club continues to work on developing new talents and established players.

For the EMEA Championship, Team Vitality has signed former T1 Challengers Top Laner Kyeong “Photon” Gyu-Tae, 2022 LEC Summer Split All-Pro and Worlds participant Norman “Kaiser” Kaiser, and veteran ADC Matúš “Neon” Jakubčík. All three will be joined by current roster members: eight-time League of Legends European Championship (LEC) winner Luka “Perkz” Perković and SoloQ superstar Zhou “Bo” Yang-Bo, who has been added to the main roster.

The new LEC roster will aim to take Team Vitality to new heights, combining players with international experience, high-potential talent, and superstar players. Photon has proven himself in the T1 Challengers, finishing third in the LOL Champions Korea Challenger League (LCK CL) and winning the 2022 Esports Championships East Asia with Team Korea. Meanwhile, Bo, who has risen through the ranks to top the European and Asian SoloQ rankings, has proven himself to be an explosive talent. He will be at the heart of the club’s new LEC roster. Photon and Bo will be joined by veteran European players Perkz, Kaiser, and Neon, who together have nearly 20 years of combined experience, including 10 LEC titles and 14 international appearances in major tournaments.

Team Vitality is also making changes to its LFL roster, Vitality.Bee. After a year marked by the affirmation of many talents in LFL, Vitality.Bee is starting a new cycle with ambitious young talents. Vitality.Bee will keep Support Jakub "Jactroll" Skurzyński. The latter will accompany Nihat "Innaxe" Aliev in the Bot Lane. They will be surrounded by promising young recruits, such as Top Laner Aleksandar "Patkica" Stefanović, Jungler Kacper "Daglas" Dagiel and Mid Laner Mateusz "Czajek" Czajka.

"After this year, it was necessary to take stock. The whole team came together and worked with one goal in mind: to bring Team Vitality into a new era. As you can see, the arrival of our new Jungler Bo is the first step. Around him, we have built a team of young talents that promises to be explosive. Because yes, it is a new era, but there is no question of denying our DNA, which consists of revealing and developing esports talents," says Fabien "Neo" Devide, President and co-founder of Team Vitality.
