After three seasons away, Team Vitality is officially returning to the Fortnite competitive scene, and they are not easing back in quietly. The French esports organisation has unveiled a brand-new Fortnite roster built around two 2025 Fortnite Championship Series World Champions, with a familiar name from the French scene stepping in as coach and team manager.

The move signals a serious push toward the 2026 Esports World Cup and upcoming Fortnite Championship Series events, as Vitality looks to re-establish itself in one of the most watched titles in global esports.

A World Champion Core For Fortnite

Team Vitality’s new Fortnite roster brings together elite-level experience and proven championship pedigree.

Egor “SwizzY” Luciko, just 19 years old, joins as one of the 2025 FNCS World Champions. Known for his fast, precise mechanics and composure on the biggest stages, SwizzY has quickly built a reputation as one of the most exciting young players in competitive Fortnite. Beyond results, he also carries significant reach on social media, giving Vitality both competitive strength and audience appeal.

Aleksa “Queasy” Cvetkovic, 23, also arrives as a 2025 FNCS World Champion. Queasy has built his name on consistency and strategic excellence, often praised for his smart decision-making and adaptability across different metas. His addition reinforces that this is not a development project, it is a win-now lineup.

Rounding out the roster is Clément “Skite” Danglot, a former French professional player widely regarded as one of the standout figures from France’s competitive Fortnite history. Skite joins as Team Manager and Coach, bringing top-level experience and a strong connection to the community.

A Strategic Return After Three Seasons Away

This announcement marks Team Vitality’s first Fortnite roster in three seasons. According to the organisation, the return has been carefully planned as part of its broader international expansion strategy.

Fabien “Neo” Devide, President of Team Vitality, described Fortnite as one of the club’s “heart games” and made it clear the goal is not simply participation, but performance at the highest level. The organisation has framed this comeback around an “eyes on the prize” mentality, with a direct focus on lifting major trophies.

Danny Engels, Global Operations Director, reinforced that message, positioning the Fortnite return as part of a larger global growth plan. He described the move as calculated and performance-driven, highlighting ambitions not only for the traditional competitive calendar but also for the Esports World Cup.

Eyes On The 2026 Esports World Cup And FNCS

Team Vitality has set its sights firmly on the biggest stages in Fortnite esports, including the 2026 Esports World Cup in Riyadh and future FNCS competitions.

The announcement of Fortnite Reload mode being included at the Esports World Cup has added another layer of opportunity. Vitality’s objective is clear, secure qualification, travel to Riyadh, and compete for one of the most high-profile titles in the current esports calendar.

This Fortnite return also sits within a much wider competitive push from the organisation. As previously reported, the club has reinforced its presence across multiple FPS titles ahead of Riyadh. With new rosters in PUBG (PC), Call of Duty: Warzone and CrossFire, Fortnite now joins a growing list of EWC-focused projects under the Vitality banner, showing a coordinated, multi-title strategy rather than a one-off comeback.

Skite’s Dual Role As Coach And Official Caster

One of the more interesting elements of this return is Skite’s expanded role. He will not only coach and manage the team, but also co-stream and cast the qualification matches live on his social channels.

That means fans will get educational, high-level analysis directly from someone deeply involved with the squad. It also turns the competitive journey, from qualifiers through to potential EWC appearances, into a community-facing project rather than a closed competitive run.

By blending elite talent with strong personal brands and community engagement, Team Vitality appears to be aiming for both competitive success and stronger fan connection as it heads into the 2026 season.
