The French organization Team Vitality has started preparing for the upcoming competitions. According to the Sheep Esports portal, the club signed a contract with a talented Moldovan player Stefan “Sayonara” Miccu. However, due to his age, he is not yet eligible to participate in the VCT EMEA, so Sayonara will remain on loan with DVM.

Strengthening for a strong team

The change in Vitality's lineup is quite unexpected, as the European favorites have started the current season well. They became the champions of the VCT EMEA Kickoff, which allowed them to qualify for Masters Bangkok, where they took 4th place, losing in the semifinals to G2 Esports.

Nevertheless, Sayonara's results suggest that it is a great investment for the future. In the past, he has proven himself in the Tier 2 league, winning the title at the Challengers League Spain with KPI Gaming. In doing so, he became the youngest champion in the history of the Spanish VCL and was awarded the MVP title.

His excellent results did not go unnoticed, and at the end of 2024, Fnatic invited the player to their roster to take part in off-season events. As a result, the team took 5th-6th place at Red Bull Home Ground #5 and won the Riot Games ONE PRO INVITATIONAL 2024 showcase match.

But now the player is still 17 years old, and according to Riot rules, only adult players can compete on the VCT stage. That's why Sayonara will be playing with DVM until March 4, 2026, when he officially turns 18 and joins Team Vitality.
