Team Vitality has officially expanded its shooter division ahead of the 2026 Esports World Cup, confirming new competitive rosters in PUBG (PC), Call of Duty: Warzone and CrossFire.
Announced from Paris on 11 February 2026, the move sees the French organisation return to PUBG (PC) and Warzone after previous runs in both titles, while entering CrossFire for the first time. It follows a strong 2025 season that included Counter-Strike and VALORANT victories, plus a Top 3 finish in the overall club standings at last year’s Esports World Cup.
A Strategic Push Ahead Of The 2026 Esports World Cup
Team Vitality’s expansion into three additional shooter titles is directly tied to its ambitions for the 2026 Esports World Cup this summer.
With club standings determined by performance across multiple games, fielding teams in PUBG (PC), Warzone and CrossFire gives Vitality more opportunities to accumulate points where every win counts. The organisation has framed this as the beginning of a new shooter era, building on its established dominance in Counter-Strike and its continued presence in VALORANT.
Fabien “Neo” Devide, President and co-founder of Team Vitality, said the club is determined to build on its Top 3 overall finish in 2025 by investing in star-powered rosters across the new titles. Corporate Director of Global Operations Danny Engels added that the goal is to strengthen Vitality’s positioning for EWC and establish a broader dynasty across the FPS genre.
Call Of Duty: Warzone Roster And Road To EWC
Angel “Sage” Quinones, who secured third place at last year’s EWC, leads the roster. He is joined by Rasim “Blazt” Ogresevic and Logan “Skullface” Greifelt, both American players with strong competitive histories. The team is supported by coach Ethan “Ebatez” Bates.
The squad’s immediate focus is the Warzone Resurgence Series, which will determine qualification pathways to the 2026 Esports World Cup. The circuit culminates in two LAN finals at DreamHack Birmingham and DreamHack Atlanta, where top trios will lock in their EWC spots.
By returning with experienced players rather than rebuilding from scratch, Vitality is signalling that this is about immediate impact rather than a long-term development project.
PUBG (PC) Roster Marks Return To The Scene
The core of the lineup features players who competed under the Nemiga banner and secured sixth place at the PUBG Global Championship. The roster includes Aliaksandr “Gedrox” Puchko, Vladislav “Lev4nte” Tasenko and Artem “hallomybad” Baskakov.
Completing the squad are Andrey “Qw1zzy” Pobedinskiy and coach Ramazan “H1RUZEN” Valiullin, both arriving from Geekay. Sergei “MrTok” Britok joins as manager.
This return also creates crossover potential with Bigetron by Vitality, the organisation’s established powerhouse in the Southeast Asian PUBG Mobile ecosystem. With major LAN circuits increasingly featuring both PC and Mobile PUBG, the dual presence could help unify Vitality’s global fanbase across both platforms.

The organisation has acquired ROC Esports’ previous CrossFire team, which is based in Egypt and operates from a dedicated gaming house. The starting roster features Youssef “tottziN” Nasser, Ahmed “SNARE” Salah, Mohamed “Snake” Ahmed, Mohamed “Horus” Mahrous and Abdelrahman “slayer” Fawzy.
Andrei “strey” Solovev joins as coach, with Kislay “Drolo” Satyaj as General Manager. Two substitutes, Ammar “Apps” Ahmed and Abdelrhman “Bone” Mahmoud, have also been added to strengthen depth.
The team will compete in the CrossFire West League in EMEA across two key splits in March and April, followed by June and July. Combined results are expected to serve as a gateway to the 2026 Esports World Cup.
Beyond EWC qualification, the squad is targeting a run through Regional Finals to secure a place at the CrossFire Stars World Championship in China, widely regarded as the pinnacle of the CrossFire ecosystem. Vitality is positioning this roster as a potential Western dark horse capable of challenging the long-established Chinese powerhouses.
Momentum From 2025 Sets The Tone
Team Vitality’s 2025 campaign laid the groundwork for this expansion. Victories in Counter-Strike and VALORANT reinforced the organisation’s status as one of the strongest FPS brands in esports, while a Top 3 finish in the Esports World Cup club standings highlighted its ability to compete across multiple titles.
By adding PUBG (PC), Warzone and CrossFire to its portfolio, Vitality is broadening its competitive surface area rather than relying on a single flagship game. For fans, that means more tournaments, more storylines and more chances to see the black and yellow banner on major international stages.
With qualification circuits already underway and league splits approaching, the next few months will quickly reveal whether this expanded shooter division can convert ambition into silverware on the road to EWC 2026.
