Vitality Confirms New VALORANT Roster for 2023 VCT Season
Vitality, the French organization, has announced its lineup for the upcoming VCT season next year. Led by former 2021 champion Santeri “BONECOLD” Sassi, the roster consists of both new and familiar faces. Lithuanian player Jokūbas “ceNder” Labutis will continue alongside the former Acend in-game leader.
The organization has finalized its roster with Michał “MOLSI” Łącki, Tomas “Destrian” Linikas, and Karel “Twisten” Ašenbrener. Furthermore, Vitality has brought on board Salah Barakat, former head coach of OG Esports, to lead the team.
Vitality has also appointed Joseph “Strong” Edwards and Harry “Gorilla” Mepham as the positional coach and assistant coach, respectively.
Although Vitality secured victories against Excel, TENSTAR, and FUT Esports in the VALORANT Regional Finals, they were defeated by FUT Esports in the grand final, finishing in second place.
As one of the few organizations to collaborate with developer Riot Games, Vitality will take part in the EMEA international league starting next year. The league will commence with a kick-off tournament in São Paulo, Brazil, in February 2023.
The first split of the EMEA international league is scheduled for April 2023, followed by Masters and Champions later in the year. The first split of Challengers will begin in January.
