Vitality Suffers Setback as Star Mid Laner Jiizuke Misses Match Due to Medical Issues
Vitality, one of the strongest teams in the LEC with an 8-4 record in the Spring Split, will be without their superstar mid laner, Daniele “Jiizuke” di Mauro, for today’s match due to medical issues. Lucas “Saken” Fayard will be making his LEC debut as a temporary replacement for Jiizuke in the starting lineup.
Unfortunate Circumstances Lead to Mid Laner Absence
Vitality’s loss to Fnatic on Feb. 23 showcased Jiizuke’s exceptional performance with his Fizz champion choice and a remarkable Tahm Kench Elder Drake steal. Despite these feats, Fnatic ultimately destroyed Vitality’s Nexus in 42 minutes, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
Vitality is set to face Misfits today at 1pm CT, followed by a match against Origen tomorrow. While Jiizuke’s absence may present challenges, fans of the organization are hopeful for his return to action.
