, relegating them to the EMEA LCQ.
However, following the passing of Karel "Twisten" Ašenbrener, Vitality announced that they would not participate in the EMEA LCQ, subsequently ending their 2023 season.
Throughout the off season, various roster moves saw the departure of Michał "MOLSI" Łącki as fresh talent was onboarded ahead of the new season. Seven months after their last official match, Vitality participated in the Convergence 2023 OFF//SEASON event, where the roster took home a second-place finish behind FUT.
Although Destrian remains under contract with Vitality, he has announced that he is looking for offers in any region. Rumors point to Nikita "trexx" Cherednichenko as a potential replacement, but no announcements have been made as of now.
