Team Vitality is proud to announce its expansion into three shooting game titles, ahead of the 2026 Esports World Cup (EWC) this summer. The club will now compete in PUBG (PC), Call of Duty: Warzone, and CrossFire, building on the success of its existing FPS rosters, Counter-Strike and VALORANT, signalling a bold new chapter in its competitive legacy.

A POWER MOVE AHEAD OF ESPORTS WORLD CUP

Call of Duty: Warzone
Team Vitality is officially back in the competitive Warzone scene for 2026, assembling a roster of veterans with proven EWC pedigree. Angel “Sage” Quinones, building on his 3rd place finish at last year’s EWC, unites with two 4th place finalists to form a lineup poised to secure crucial points for the organisation.

The newly formed Warzone squad immediately embarks on the road to EWC via the Warzone Resurgence Series, culminating in two LAN finals at DreamHack Birmingham and DreamHack Atlanta, where top trios will earn their spot in the 2026 Esports World Cup.

• Angel “Sage” Quinones (Mexican/Guatemalan)
• Ethan “Ebatez” Bates (American) (Coach)

PUBG (PC)
After previously competing in the scene during 2018-2019, Team Vitality is officially making its return to competitive PUBG on PC, ready to build on its legacy and take on the next generation of talent. The squad’s core features players who recently competed under the Nemiga banner, securing a 6th place at the PUBG Global Championship. Completing the lineup are Andrey “Qw1zzy” Pobedinskiy and Coach Ramazan “H1RUZEN” Valiullin, both arriving from Geekay with impressive track records in the scene.

This return also unlocks unique opportunities to unite Team Vitality’s global fanbase, as PUBG’s major LAN circuit increasingly features both PC and Mobile titles. With Bigetron by Vitality already established as a powerhouse in the Southeast Asian PUBG Mobile ecosystem, this synergy will help amplify the visibility of the new PC squad and bridge the gap between the two passionate communities.

CrossFire
Based in Egypt with a dedicated gaming house, Team Vitality have acquired ROC Esports’ previous CrossFire team, with the addition of two new substitute players, Abdelrhman “Bone” Mahmoud and Ammar “Apps” Ahmed. The team will soon begin their campaign in the CrossFire West League (EMEA), competing across two key splits in March/April and June/July. These combined results are expected to serve as the critical gateway to the Esports World Cup, where every win will count for Team Vitality.

But the ambition extends far beyond the EWC. The squad is targeting a dominant run in the Regional Finals to secure a ticket to the holy grail of the ecosystem: the CrossFire Stars World Championship in China. Positioning themselves as the West’s most dangerous dark horse, Team Vitality is ready to disrupt the status quo, aiming to challenge the established Chinese dynasties and showcase Vitality’s legacy in FPS games.

A NEW SHOOTER ERA BEGINS

Following a Top 3 finish in the overall club standings at the 2025 EWC, Team Vitality is aiming higher in 2026, seeking trophies, global recognition, and points where #EveryWinCounts.

“We’re thrilled to expand our FPS era for the 2026 edition of the Esports World Cup.” says Fabien “Neo” Devide, President and co-founder of Team Vitality. “After a triumphant Top 3 finish in the overall club standings last year, we’re more determined than ever to build on that momentum by investing in starpower rosters across PUBG (PC), Call of Duty: Warzone, and CrossFire. This expansion reflects Team Vitality’s ambition to compete at the highest level on the international stage, and give our fans even more to cheer for.”

“We have already established an undeniable legacy through our unmatched performance in Counter-Strike, but our global expansion gives us the chance to build a true dynasty across the entire genre,” adds Danny Engels, Corporate Director, Global Operations for Team Vitality. “Crucially, this strengthens our positioning for the Esports World Cup.
