Vitality’s “Last Dance” Marks Roster Shake-Up: Ropz Set to Join the Squad

The French esports organization, Vitality, has announced massive roster shifts to its CS2 team after their poor showing at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. This was announced on the official social media platforms of the organization, as the team started a new chapter. The key highlight? Estonian star ropz is on the edge of joining, likely as a stand-in for  Spinx.

“The Last Dance” – The Farewell to the Current Core

Vitality’s announcement came at the same time as the publication of their blog post, called “The Last Dance” – a reference to the end of this particular roster. The post was very popular and it was the end of an era. Among the significant shifts, Spinx seems ready to go, and 25-year-old ropz is ready to take his place. According to insiders, talks between the Estonian rifler and Vitality started in early December, and both sides agreed on the conditions.

Ropz: Bringing in a New Age for Vitality

Robin “ropz” Kool is a valuable addition to Vitality’s roster, as he has a lot of experience and has won many tournaments. Often considered one of the most reliable performers in CS2, ropz has been an essential part of FaZe Clan’s performance for the past three years, including the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 champions.

Known for his composure, thinking, and sharpness, ropz’s addition is considered a daring decision to bring back Vitality’s desire and restore the team to the upper echelon.

Potential Shake-Up: Mezii’s Position in Question

In addition to ropz, there are rumors regarding the team’s future with William “mezii” Merriman. There have been no official statements, but insiders believe that more changes may be expected as the management of Vitality is reportedly planning a major overhaul.

Vitality Lineup After the Changes:

• Dan “apEX” Madesclaire – The team captain and the main decision maker.
• Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut – The Star AWPer and the pillar.
• Shahar “flameZ” Shushan – Explosive rifler.
• Robin “ropz” Kool – The new reinforcement.
• William “mezii” Merriman – Position under review.
