ropz In, Spinx Out
Vitality is making waves in the Counter-Strike 2 scene with the signing of Robin “ropz” Kool, a move claimed by insider Guillaume “neL” Rathier to HLTV. The Estonian rifler is set to join the French organization as a free agent after his contract with FaZe Clan expired.
A Major Win for Vitality
The addition of Robin “ropz” Kool is a significant boost for Vitality, especially as he arrives without a transfer fee. According to neL, the 25-year-old star rifler had offers from other top organizations, including Falcons, Liquid, and G2.
ropz brings an impressive track record, including a win at the Antwerp Major in 2022 and two Major finals appearances in 2024. His departure from FaZe follows three successful years with the team and marks the beginning of a new chapter in his career with Vitality.
Spinx on the move
ropz will be replacing Lotan “Spinx” Giladi in Vitality’s roster. The Israeli rifler, who joined Vitality in 2022, has been given permission to explore new opportunities. Spinx played a pivotal role in Vitality’s BLAST Paris Major win in 2023, but recent reports suggest growing challenges within the team led to this decision.
Awaiting Official Confirmation
Despite the reports from trusted sources, no official announcement has been made by Vitality, FaZe Clan, or ropz himself. Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation from the involved parties, which will solidify what could be one of the most significant roster moves of the year.
The upcoming Vitality roster will be:
Dan “apEX” Madesclaire
Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut
Shahar “flameZ” Shushan
William “mezii” Merriman
