Team Liquid star VALORANT duelist reportedly agrees to join rival squad Vitality

In a year when Team Liquid both surprised foes by beating Fnatic but also crashed out of international tournaments, not many were sure where exactly the team would turn to ahead of VCT 2024. Now, following a report this weekend, the European squad is retooling their roster—and farewelling a key player to start their off-season.

Star Swedish duelist Saif “Sayf” Jibraeel is leaving Team Liquid to join regional rivals Team Vitality, according to a Sept. 9 report by Blix.gg. With how strong Sayf was for Team Liquid in their high moments this year, especially after winning a regional title, this move will reinforce Vitality as they shape to improve on their fifth-placed finish last season.
