Spinx extends with Vitality until 2026

Vitality have locked down their star rifler for a further three years.

Spinx joined Vitality from ENCE in August 2022

Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi has renewed his contract with Vitality for three more years, with his new deal due to expire in December 2026.

In his 14 months at Vitality thus far, Spinx has won four titles, including the BLAST Paris Major, and earned his first top 20 placing by finishing 18th in 2022.

The Israeli lurker sports a 1.17 rating for the year and, having recently turned 23, has now committed his prime years to the Paris-based side.

XTQZZZ returns to Vitality; apEX renews deal until 2026

Spinx's deal is now the same duration as that of Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire, who also renewed until the end of 2026 last month. Star player Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut last sat down with Vitality in 2020, and his deal is set to run out at the end of 2024.

The renewal comes at a time of instability for the organization after the signing of William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman in place of Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif, who is expected to join former coach Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen at Falcons.

In zonic's place, Rémy "⁠XTQZZZ⁠" Quoniam has returned as head coach as the team looks to match its CS:GO form in the new iteration.

boombl4 and zeus? bro i think you smoked some crack of the pipe its not 2021 and 2017 anymore The only one who is better than him is Karrigan and Snappi seems to be on the same level with apEX atm and we don't know if he will fall down, apEX in 2020, 2021 had way worse team than ENCE 2020 and 2021 and still managed to win 1 tournament in 2021 and 2 in 2020 i think people underrate apEX so much by saying he s bad when he had fucking kyojin in his team with washed shox who did great at clutches but other than that nothing and at times decent RpK with zywoo back hurting and misutaaa was once few rounds wonder

Bruh Zeus is not even playing the game anymore, Karrigan is staying in faze, Snappi is moving to Falcons and I dont even know if boombl4 speaks proper english. Even if you think they are better than apex none of them IS available.

he did nothing that actually proves nothing. His 2021 performance was absolutely boosted by s1mple phenomenal performance and actually navi in 2022 died by declining performance of s1 as he was essentially the heart of that team even if elec was there he was only supposed to star incase if s1mple cant be and that was the only star for NaVi needed, b1t was great aquirement but he was never meant to be great star and Perfecto never meant to be the very well performing support it just aligned that their performance matched by great coordination of tactics by blad3 and s1mple performance and boombl4 captain skills they were able to win so much. Which is why after they lost their captain they were reliant on s1mple to do something and he did bring them one trophy and close win at Cologne vs Prime FaZe after that s1mple individual performance dropped and without captain and s1mple performance the team relied on blad3 which was just too overwhelmed especially with transition of elec to IGL

What even is the point. Did he learn nothing from flamez? Your whole prime is likely going to be with vitality without much escape unless Falcons or something like them comes calling. You seriously want the org who tried to ask zonic for paycuts to hold you for 3 years?

Before zonic left Vitality, did you think he was the kind of guy to leave the number 1 team in the world for some Saudi Arabia money ? I saw Zywoo and Apex's recent interview in which he gets asked if he is going to renew he contract and he simply does not answer anything and jokes about it... I really hope I am being paranoid.
