More than ten esports organizations expressed their support for Team Vitality on X after the club’s Paris headquarters, V.Hive, was ransacked on the evening of October 17 amid mass protests in France.
Virtus.pro published a message to Team Vitality:
We send all our love and support to everyone at Team Vitality.
It hurts to see something like this happen to our colleagues in the industry. We are immensely relieved to know that no one was hurt, and we hope the team recovers from this difficult situation as soon as possible.
The esports community stands united.
LOUD, which Team Vitality’s VALORANT roster is set to face in the VALORANT Champions 2026 Grand Final on October 18, expressed its support even before the French club’s official statement:
Every corner of the office holds stories, memories, and meanings that have accumulated over the years. We stand in solidarity with Team Vitality following the tragic incident at its Paris office and support the organization during this time.
PARIVISION responded to Team Vitality’s statement:
Trophies can be stolen. History cannot. We are with you, Team Vitality.
9z Team, Team Falcons, Eternal Fire, and FUT Esports also left brief messages of support under Team Vitality’s statement. HEROIC, BIG, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and GamerLegion responded to the club with heart emojis, as did the organizers of the Esports World Cup.
According to Team Vitality representatives, none of the staff or fans were harmed during the raid, but trophies and computer equipment were stolen from V.Hive. The club did not specify exactly which awards were missing. The venue remains closed until the organization assesses the full extent of the damage.
