French esports organization Vitality has officially confirmed upcoming changes to its CS2 roster. The team announced this via their social media following an unsuccessful performance at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, where they failed to achieve the desired result. Currently, it is known that 🇮🇱 Lotan “Spinx” Giladi may leave the team and his position will be replaced by Robin “ropz” Kool.

The Last Dance: the final match for the current lineup

Immediately after the Major in Shanghai, Vitality released a blog called “The Last Dance,” which according to fans, was the symbolic end of an era for this team. The main candidate to replace Spinx is 25-year-old Estonian ropz, who was previously linked with a move to Vitality. Back in early December, it was reported that ropz was in talks with the French organization and had agreed on the terms of the contract.

Ropz: a new era for Vitality

Robin “ropz” Kool, one of the most successful players in the CS2 world, played for FaZe Clan for three years, winning many titles, including the PGL Major Antwerp 2022. His move to Vitality was intended to strengthen the squad and bring the team back into the fight for the top title.

Ropz has established himself as a consistent gamer with a unique style and understanding of the game, making him the ideal candidate for Vitality as they look to restart their path to success.

Possible changes: mezii is in question

According to the latest rumors, Vitality management is also considering the possibility of changing another gamer - William "mezii" Merriman. So far, no official information has been provided, but fans speculate that this could be the next big step in the team's rebuild.

Vitality's lineup after the changes

It is expected that after ropz joins, Vitality's lineup will look like this:

Dan “apEX” Madesclaire - team captain;
Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut - main sniper;
Shahar “flameZ” Shushan - ADC;
Robin “ropz” Kool - rookie;

William “mezii” Merriman - potential replacement candidate.

What's next?

Vitality has yet to officially announce the final lineup, but all signs point to ropz becoming a key member of the new team. At the same time, this organization is looking for new opportunities to further strengthen its strength. It looks like fans are in for a busy transfer season and everyone is looking forward to official confirmation.
