French organization Team Vitality has announced the appointment of Daniel "Faded" Hwang as the head coach of their Valorant team and Damien "maLeK" Marcel as the team's strategic manager.
Following the conclusion of the 2024 season and the start of the transfer window, Team Vitality has completely revamped its Valorant coaching staff, parting ways with Laike "temoc" Lewis and Harry "Gorilla" Mepham, who had been with the club since 2022. Their most notable achievement was qualifying for the Valorant Champions 2024. The duo has since joined KOI, who recently announced their addition.
