Team Vitality's League of Legends support player Kadir "Fleshy" Kemiksiz has announced that the club has granted him permission to negotiate with other teams in search of new professional opportunities for 2027. He is still under contract, which expires on November 16, 2026.
Fleshy stated that after two years with Vitality and his first LEC season, he hopes to start a new chapter. He previously played for the academy team Vitality.Bee before being promoted to the main roster as a starter starting from the 2025 LEC Summer Split.
Vitality finished in the top two during both the Spring and Summer regular seasons of the 2026 LEC, but failed to win a single series in the playoff elimination stage on both occasions, once again missing out on the League of Legends World Championship. The organization last participated in the World Championship in 2018.
The team also participated in the Demacia Cup Global Invitational this year as the fifth seed from EMEA, becoming the only LEC team to advance to the elimination stage, where they were defeated 2-3 by KT Rolster, who eventually reached the finals. Due to uncertainty surrounding the future of the French league LFL, Vitality has shut down its Vitality.Bee project for 2027.
Vitality has not yet announced any other changes to its LEC roster. Apart from Kaan "Naak Nako" Okan, the contracts of the remaining players will also expire in November 2026.
