The New VALORANT Roster Is All Set to Board Their New Spaceship... Launching In 2023!
Team Vitality, a leading esports club in Europe, is pleased to announce the signing of Michał « MOLSI » Łącki, Tomas « Destrian » Linikas, and Karel « Twisten » Ašenbrener. The trio will compete in the new European VALORANT competitive circuit and join Team Vitality's roster of Santeri « BONECOLD » Sassi and Jokūbas « ceNder » Labutis. The latter were already part of the team that won the French league – VRL 2022: Revolution Stage.
This new roster demonstrates Team Vitality's ambition to make its mark on the VCT landscape in 2023, under a format that is still new to the VALORANT license. With a combination of European talent and the drive to become an international contender, Team Vitality is assembling a powerful roster of current players and emerging new talent. All guided by an experienced coaching staff.
The team will be coached by Salah ‘Salah’ Barakat (head coach). He previously led OG LDN UTD to the VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier and coached North American talent such as those from FaZe Clan. The young coach plans to create a true unit both on and off the server. Finally, Harry ‘Gorilla’ Mepham has been extended for two additional years as the sixth player, Joe ‘Strong’ Edwards as positional coach, and Robert ‘Mulgan95’ Mulgan retains his position as manager.
The lineup, all set to forge its way to the top of the European scene, will make its debut at Riot Games' VCT tournament in São Paulo (Brazil) in February 2023. Team Vitality will then face the 29 other international VCT partner teams.
