Team Vitality has signed Alexander 'jawgemo' Mor for the 2027 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) season, calling him the final piece of its new roster.

 

The French organisation's VALORANT team announced the signing on X (formerly Twitter) on November 11th. "The final piece of the 2027 puzzle is here," it wrote, welcoming Mor "to the hive" and adding that it was time to take on the world together. The official VCT account confirmed the move shortly afterwards, posting: "Same Dawg. New Region."

 

Mor replied with a quote-post of his own. "Excited to join the hive 🐝 It's bouta bee a movie 🎥," he wrote.

 

From the Americas to EMEA

The signing takes Mor out of VCT Americas, where he spent the last two years with G2 Esports. G2 announced his departure on November 6th, and Mor said at the time that it had been "a hard year" for him but that he hoped his journey did not end there. He won VALORANT Champions 2023 with Evil Geniuses in Los Angeles, according to Riot Games' official Champions recap.

 

He now moves to VCT EMEA, the league covering Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Neither Vitality nor Mor said which role he will play in the new lineup.

 

Vitality's 2027 rebuild

Vitality is coming off a runner-up finish at VALORANT Champions Shanghai in October. On October 19th, the organisation announced it had been accepted as a VALORANT partner team for the next two years. "After an incredible top 2 at Champions we are hungrier than ever," it wrote at the time.

 

The off-season has already brought changes. Vitality said goodbye to Derke on October 24th, crediting him with bringing the organisation its first VCT trophy and its first Champions Grand Final. On November 10th, it finalised its 2027 coaching staff, promoting Scutt to Head Coach and SLK to assistant coach, and adding Szed as a Performance Coach.
