Team Vitality has made a significant move in the Valorant esports scene by signing Felipe “Less” de Loyola Basso from LOUD. The organization announced the acquisition on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, sparking excitement among fans and analysts alike.
Less, known for his exceptional skills as a duelist and flex player, brings a wealth of experience to Team Vitality. His time with LOUD saw him achieve notable success, including a victory at Valorant Champions 2022. This signing demonstrates Team Vitality’s commitment to building a formidable roster capable of competing at the highest level of international Valorant competition.
Rumors Swirl Around Derke
In addition to the confirmed signing of Less, rumors are circulating that Team Vitality is also in talks with Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev, the former Fnatic star. Derke, widely regarded as one of the best duelists in the EMEA region, recently announced his free agency, setting off a flurry of speculation about his next move.
If the rumors prove true, the potential addition of Derke to Team Vitality’s roster would create a powerhouse duo with Less. Both players are known for their aggressive playstyles and ability to make game-changing plays, which could lead to a dynamic and unpredictable team composition.
Implications for Team Vitality
The signing of Less and the potential acquisition of Derke signal Team Vitality’s intentions to become a major force in the Valorant competitive scene. These moves could reshape the team’s strategy and playstyle, potentially leading to:
- Increased firepower and flexibility in the duelist role
- Enhanced international competitiveness
- A boost in fan engagement and team popularity
Looking Ahead
As the Valorant competitive scene continues to evolve, Team Vitality’s roster changes indicate their determination to stay at the forefront of the game. Fans and analysts will be eagerly watching to see how these new additions perform and whether the rumored signing of Derke comes to fruition.
With the next Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) season on the horizon, Team Vitality appears to be positioning itself as a serious contender for top honors. The combination of established talent and potential new signings could make them one of the teams to watch in the upcoming competitive season.
