The leading French esports club, founded in 2013 by Fabien "Neo" Devide, Nicolas Maurer, Corentin "Gotaga" Houssein and Kevin "BrokyBrawks" Georges, Team Vitality, announced its intention to withdraw from the StarCraft II (SC2) esports scene.

After two years, Team Vitality leaves SC2 esports

Confirmed last week, the announcement comes after Team Vitality entered the popular real-time strategy (RTS) game back in 2024.

To compete in SC2 professionally, the esports organization created a roster consisting of four South Korean players with significant experience.

Team Vitality's SC2 roster included Cho "Maru" Seong-ju, Park "Zoun" Han-sol, Kim "Ryung" Dong Won and Choi "CranK" Jae-won, who served as General Manager.

In the two years, Team Vitality recorded significant success on the SC2 scene, dominating in a range of tournaments.

Team Vitality's announcement comes on the heels of the announcement about the dropping of SC2 from the Esports World Cup 2026.

The unexpected confirmation that the RTS title won't be part of the upcoming World Cup came earlier this year, leaving many fans and teams disappointed.

In its announcement, Team Vitality wrote: "Today we announce that we will be leaving the SC2 scene."

The French esports organization thanked the four SC2 roster members, acknowledging the huge success they brought over the last two years.

Moreover, Team Vitality added that the SC2 roster always represented the team in the "best way possible" and thanked them for all unforgettable moments and trophy lifts.

"We wish you all the best in the future," the statement concludes.

Team Vitality has a strong presence in esports, participating competitively in CS2, PUBG Mobile, Rocket League and League of Legends, among other hit games.

As a renowned esports organization, it has established partnerships with globally recognizable brands, including Stake, Kia, Kick, Kingston and many others.
