French esports organization Team Vitality has announced the addition of Alexander "jawgemo" Mor to its VALORANT roster. The American-Cambodian duelist and 2023 World Champion (with Evil Geniuses) joins the "Bees" following his time with G2 Esports.
In the new lineup, jawgemo is set to replace Derke, who recently transferred to Aurora Gaming. This will mark Alexander's first experience playing in the European VCT EMEA league. The organization expects that his big-match experience will help the team secure the world championship title, which eluded them this year following a 1:3 defeat to LOUD in the Champions 2026 grand final.
Last season, alongside G2, jawgemo reached the semifinals at Masters Santiago and Champions. Team Vitality also comes off an eventful year: after finishing second at VCT EMEA Stage 1, the team reached its peak form for the biggest tournament of the year, where they defeated NS RedForce, G2 Esports, and 100 Thieves.
As a partnered team, Vitality will bypass the open qualifiers and has already secured its spot at the VCT 2027 EMEA Kickoff tournament in Berlin.
Updated Team Vitality VALORANT roster:
- Alexander "jawgemo" Mor
- Elias "Jamppi" Olkkonen
- Timofey "Chronicle" Khromov
- Ștefan "Sayonara" Mîtcu
- Dawid "PROFEK" Święć
