Which team has improved the most?

The 2024-2025 VCT EMEA roster changes have set the stage for what promises to be an electrifying season. Teams are reworking their rosters, and with fresh talent in the mix, the competition is bound to be fiercer than ever. Some teams, like Fnatic and Vitality, have stuck with their core but added new pieces that could take them to the next level, while others have reshuffled entirely.

The unpredictable nature of this offseason means anything can happen. While some teams are making calculated moves to shore up weaknesses, others are betting on bold new signings to disrupt the existing order. The chemistry between newcomers and veterans will be key, and it remains to be seen which squads can achieve the cohesion required for a successful season.

As we head into the new year, every team will need to prove their worth. Can the veterans maintain their dominance, or will the fresh blood redefine the competition? The 2024-2025 season is sure to offer plenty of surprises, and the race for supremacy in EMEA will be one to watch.

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
