MAD Lions Veteran Hylissang Reportedly Joining Team Vitality for 2024 Season
After a rollercoaster year with MAD Lions in 2023, one of the most experienced players in the European League of Legends scene may have found a new team. According to esports journalist Brieuc Seeger, popular veteran Zdravets “Hylissang” Galabov is set to join Team Vitality for the 2024 season. This move could make him a key player in the organization’s new LEC roster. Despite being well-known in the league, the 28-year-old support player faced difficulties during the past year with his previous team.
Hylissang’s journey in 2023 saw him win one LEC championship, leading MAD Lions from eighth place in the regular season to become champions. However, the team’s performance was inconsistent, finishing seventh in the summer split and third in the 2023 LEC Season Finals. Compared to long-standing teams like G2 Esports and Fnatic, MAD Lions were not consistent enough domestically to challenge for Europe’s throne. Even at international events, the team struggled and only managed to win a single match against another European representative between the Mid-Season Invitational and the World Championship.
Despite these challenges, Hylissang’s vast game knowledge makes him a valuable addition to any team. His aggressive playstyle can bring a much-needed boost to a team that seeks opportunities for skirmishes and game-winning teamfights. With multiple players leaving Vitality this offseason, the organization is focused on rebuilding its roster to compete for an LEC trophy in 2024. The team has had its fair share of failed roster iterations in the past two years, with several superstars coming and going without achieving the desired success.
In conclusion, Hylissang’s potential move to Team Vitality could be a turning point in his career and an opportunity for him to make a significant impact on the team’s performance. As Vitality aims to rebuild its roster, it will be interesting to see how they utilize Hylissang’s experience and aggression to achieve success in the upcoming season.
