Lotan “Spinx” Giladi is no longer a core player for Team Vitality, and this decision was quite unforeseen. The organization finally made the decision to demote him to the bench after 878 days on the main roster and over two years.
This move raises questions about the possible addition of Robin “ropz” Kul, a player that would bring a lot of changes to the team. Spinx leaves the active lineup with seven significant titles, including the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 title.
A Stellar Journey with Vitality
Spinx became a member of Vitality in mid-2022 and has been quite active. His first year in the team was concluded with the championship at ESL Pro League Season 16, proving that he can perform in critical moments. In the last quarter of 2022, Spinx faced some difficulties but came back in 2023 as a crucial support for the team. He played a crucial role in helping Vitality win the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and several other major events.
A Rocky 2024 Season
Although, individually, Spinx and Vitality had a good year, they failed to gain the necessary pace in 2024. By summer, Spinx showed the desire to pursue transfer options. But the team was able to win at IEM Cologne 2024, which was the only highlight of the year for the team. However, the overall roster stability that was once a staple of the team was still hard to come by.
The Stats Debate
In 2024, Spinx’s individual stats were a picture-perfect example of consistency and great performance. During the Perfect World Shanghai Major, he achieved a rating of 6.4. His average rating for the year was this number, which placed him above his teammate mezii, who had a 5.9. When compared to the rumored replacement, ropz, Spinx had better results in three categories when playing against the Estonian.
