Team Vitality signed former FaZe Clan player Robin “ropz” Kool to their Counter-Strike 2 roster on Friday.
Fellow rifler Lotan “Spinx” Giladi will be moved to the inactive roster in order to make room for ropz ahead of the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier.
ropz, 25, spent nearly three years with FaZe Clan. The native of Estonia previously competed with MOUZ among other teams.
“Signing ropz is the culmination of several years of discussions and mutual respect. We have followed his journey with great admiration, and this year, the stars aligned for him to join us. We understand that he’s leaving more than just a team behind — he’s leaving a family. We’re determined to show him that he made the right choice. He fits perfectly into our vision, with the ambition to make history and build a legacy for the club on CS,” Team Vitality president Fabien “Neo” Devide said.
“His experience, versatility, and game intelligence are invaluable assets. He is a player with a heart of gold, one of the most inspiring figures in the history of Counter-Strike, and someone who truly embodies the values we stand for. With him, we are solidifying our place among the global elite of CS, and this is an incredible opportunity for Team Vitality.”
Team Vitality’s roster consists of Dan “apEX” Madesclaire, Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, Shahar “flameZ” Shushan, William “mezii” Merriman and ropz.
