Lotan "Spinx" Giladi has ended his more than two-year tenure with Team Vitality. The organization announced his move to a reserve player after 878 days on the main roster.

This change is rumored to be related to the potential appearance of Robin "ropz" Kul. Spinx leaves the team with seven major titles, including victory at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.

The appearance of Spinx

Spinx joined Vitality in mid-2022 and started to produce results from his first tournaments, winning ESL Pro League Season 16. After a slump at the end of 2022, he returned with great form in 2023, becoming a key player in winning the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and several other tournaments.

2024 results

In 2024, the team's results worsened and in the summer Spinx asked to explore options for a transfer to another team. Despite this, Vitality won IEM Cologne 2024, but past stability cannot be regained.

Spinx statistics

Spinx's rating at the most recent Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 was 6.4, which is quite good. Overall, he had a great year, but the team decided to replace him instead of mezii. Spinx's rating for 2024 is 6.4, while mezii's is 5.9.

Even considering ropz's statistics for 2024, Spinx still outperforms the Estonians in three metrics. Therefore, his move to the bench seems doubtful.

Dan "apEX" Madesclaire
Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut
William "mezii" Merriman
Shahar "flameZ" Shushan
