Paris, 20 December 2022: Leading global esports organisation Team Vitality is pleased to unveil its rosters for both the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) and La Ligue Française de League of Legends (LFL) which will see the organisation focus on developing new talents and nurturing proven players. 

For the LEC Team Vitality has signed former T1 Challengers Top Laner Kyeong “Photon” Gyu-Tae, back-to-back World Championship participant and 2022 LEC Summer Split All-Pro Norman “Kaiser” Kaiser and experienced EU ADC Matúš “Neon” Jakubčík. They will be joined by current Team Vitality players: eight-time League of Legends European Championship (LEC) winner Luka “Perkz” Perković and SoloQ superstar Zhou “Bo” Yang-Bo who has been integrated into the starting lineup.

The new LEC roster will aim to take Team Vitality to new heights with a mixture of international experience, untapped talents and superstar players. Photon comes from T1 Challengers, coming third in the LOL Champions Korea Challenger League (LCK CL) and winning the 2022 Esports Championships East Asia with Team South Korea. Former Team Vitality substitute Bo has spent his time topping the EU and Asian SoloQ ladder proving himself as an explosive talent who will be the heart of the new Team Vitality LEC roster. Photon and Bo will be joined by experienced EU players Perkz, Kaiser and Neon who have almost 20 years of combined experience with a total of 10 LEC titles and 14 major international appearances. 

Team Vitality is also making changes to the LFL roster, Vitality.Bee. After a year filled with proven talent in the LFL, Vitality.Bee is starting a new cycle with young and ambitious talent. Vitality.Bee will retain Support player Jakub “Jactroll” Skurzyński who will accompany fellow veteran Nihat “Innaxe” Aliev in the Bot Lane. They’ll be surrounded by promising young talent including Top Laner Aleksandar “Patkica” Stefanović, Jungler Kacper “Daglas” Dagiel, and Mid Laner Mateusz “Czajek” Czajka. 

“After our performance this year we know we need to take a step back and really think about the next era of Team Vitality. We decided to look closely at the upcoming talent that can add an extra explosive factor to the mix. Through the aggressive style of our exciting new starting jungler Bo, we’re hoping to take the LEC by surprise. Additionally, with all of our rookies on both the LEC and LFL rosters, we really want to highlight the DNA of Team Vitality to reveal, develop and celebrate talents in esports.” said Fabien “Neo” Devide, Co-Founder and Esports Director, Team Vitality
