The season of Team Vitality is in turmoil. The "super team" currently sits at the bottom of the LEC and has one last opportunity to salvage their performance. However, fans of LoL Esports across Europe are already engaging in discussions and playing Esport Manager to contemplate the future of the roster. Unfortunately, things don't look promising for the current players. Find out all the details here.

Fans Speculate About the Future of the Current Vitality Roster

It is widely anticipated that the current roster will undergo changes. The franchise and the team had lofty ambitions, but they have fallen far short. Over the weekend, Vitality played with their academy Jungler Kacper "Daglas" Dagiel after benching Yang-Bo "Bo" Zhou. Unfortunately, the results remained the same.

Vitality suffered defeats against Team BDS and KOI, both of which are also struggling this season. This raises valid questions about how Vitality will respond. It is evident to everyone that a roster change is necessary. In a popular thread on the League of Legends subreddit titled "So what's next for Vitality," several users are already discussing the future lineup.

User "Matt245z" initiated the discussion by sharing their opinion on the roster's situation and potential future moves:

It's quite unbelievable that this roster's run is already over this year. I believe it's safe to say that the organization will completely rebuild the entire roster next year, similar to what EG did for Summer. They might ask Photon to stay, but I think he might just leave. He appears extremely frustrated, and I suspect he might depart from VIT and never look back. What do you think?

Many users echo similar sentiments, albeit with slightly different reasoning. For example, user "Greenplasma000" identifies a deeper issue within the organization:

The problem goes beyond just the players. I hope the players find new teams next year because something fundamental is broken within this organization.

Supporting this viewpoint, "Cocoperroquet" takes a broader perspective on the organization as a whole:

What's worse is that it's specifically the LoL section. Vitality has successful top teams in Rocket League and CS:GO. I don't know who is in charge of the LoL section, but they are failing across the board in both leagues.

A controversial figure in the discussion is star player and fan favorite Luka "Perkz" Perković, who has been one of the most talented players in recent years. Some users, like "Hatchie_47," suggest building another team around Perkz (even if it's meant with a hint of irony):

Ask Perkz which four superstars he wants to play with
Pay whatever is the asking price
Hype up a super team that will undoubtedly dominate the LEC next year

Others, like "Randomname256478425," attribute Vitality's failures to Perkz and advocate for a change in the mid-lane:

It would be better to start by asking Perkz to leave.
Then ask the coach which player he wants. But what do I know!

As pointed out by fans, the problems and shortcomings of the Team Vitality LoL team may run deeper than just the roster. Nevertheless, it is evident that the current roster has no future, and restructuring needs to happen swiftly. Team Vitality cannot settle for last place in the LEC.

The question remains as to who would be a suitable player to enhance the team. With Perkz, ADC Elias "Upset" Lipp, Midlaner Oskar "Selfmade" Boderek, Support Norman "Kaiser" Kaiser, and Toplaner Gyutae "Photon" Kyung, the team already boasts some of the best players in their respective positions.

From a mechanical standpoint, it will be challenging to find players with more talent than these individuals. However, it is evident that they struggle to function as a team. The future of Vitality promises to be intriguing, with significant changes expected. The upcoming match against Excel could mark the end of this current roster combination.
