Vitality

The esports organization Vitality was founded in October 2013. Five years later, in October 2018, the Counter-Strike division was launched. Initially, the club aimed to create a French super team with the country's best players. However, realizing that the French CS pro scene lacked enough top-tier talent, they abandoned this idea. Vitality team was founded by Nicolas Maurer and Fabien Devide.

The team’s first victories came quickly. In 2019, they won the Esports Championship Series Season 7 and EPICENTER 2019. Vitality has consistently competed for top spots in tournaments, but their crowning achievements are the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and IEM Cologne 2024 trophies. With the transition to CS2, the team continues to deliver strong performances.

As of their performances in CS2, the Vitality roster is as follows:

• Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut – A world-class star and the team’s key player.
• Shahar "flameZ" Shushan – A young and promising player from Israel.
• William "mezii" Merriman – The rising hope of British CS.
• Dan "apEX" Madesclaire – The captain and heart of the team.
• Lotan "Spinx" Giladi – An Israeli talent who strengthened the team in 2022.
