Team Vitality CEO after the team’s elimination from the 2026 Esports World Cup in CS2: “We’re going through a difficult period.”
Fabien “Neo” Davidé, co-owner and CEO of Team Vitality, reacted on his personal page on social media platform X to the team’s elimination from the 2026 CS2 Esports World Cup.
It’s very painful that we didn’t manage to get where we wanted to be, and we won’t be able to proudly represent our club this Sunday. Throughout our entire history, we’ve had one shared dream—to lift the trophy at home, in front of our fans. Today, we have to face the truth. We’re going through a difficult period, and it’s tough. But it’s the scars that make champions. We’ll fight to the very end, give it our all, and never back down to bring this club back to where it belongs—at the top. This is more than a promise. It’s a commitment to each and every one of you. Thank you.
