Team Vitality headquartered in Paris has announced its arrival into Free Fire Mobile and Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). This will be their second esports division expansion after successfully entering Call of Duty: Mobile (CODM) with its roster qualifying and competing in the CODM World Championship Finals in 2021. With this announcement, Team Vitality will have three active esports rosters in India along with top content creators.
To lead the Free Fire roster as Coach and IGL, Team Vitality cherry-picked 2021’s Esports Premiere League and Free Fire Tri-Series champion, Indranil “FABINDRO” Saha. BGMI veteran and fan favorite, Pratik “AURUM” Mehra will coach the BGMI line-up.
In order to excel as one team, the org, Coach, and every esports athlete needs to believe in the same ideals and values. I’m completely aligned with Team Vitality’s vision for India and am proud that they are placing their trust in me. I will do whatever is necessary to ensure our BGMI roster reaches the top position.
Pratik “AURUM” Mehra
2022 is off to a fantastic start for us. Following our industry-defining CSGO and League of Legends roster reveals and announcing our multi-year partnership with Tezos, we are excited to share our further expansion into the mobile esports arena with Free Fire and BGMI. Both titles are immensely popular and have an unprecedented fan following in India and I am looking forward to seeing teams under the Team Vitality umbrella dominate the region and beyond.
Nicolas Maurer, CEO of Team Vitality
In our endeavor to become the best, we always onboard people who share a similar mindset and thought process as ours. Legends like FABINDRO and AURUM joining us is a big step in our plans to fortify our position in the country. We’ll be working closely during the next couple of days to finalize our overall approach on both new titles. Additionally, with our exemplary existing line-up of athletes, a fully equipped Training and Streaming Facility, and Team Vitality’s esports pedigree, we are confident to soon become the highest-ranked teams in India and internationally, in Free Fire, BGMI, and CODM.
Randall Fernandez, Managing Director, Team Vitality India
We will be soon looking out to the team for announcing the active rosters for each game that will be competing in the upcoming tournaments.
