Team Vitality signs jawgemo for the 2027 season
Four years after arriving in the Americas, Alexander "jawgemo" Mor is set to leave the region and move to another continent to continue his VALORANT career. Team Vitality announced him as its latest addition for the 2027 VCT season, where he will replace Nikita "Derke" Sirmitev in the Duelist role.
New home for jawgemo
Since making his Tier 1 debut, jawgemo has spent at least two years with each organization he has represented. He first played for Evil Geniuses from 2022 to 2024, a period that culminated in a world championship title at VCT 2023 - Champions. He then joined G2 Esports, where he went on to win four regional titles, including three in 2025.
Jawgemo is now set to leave the Americas and continue his career on the other side of the Atlantic. The American player will represent Team Vitality in the 2027 season, joining the roster following the recent departure of Derke. He will take on the Duelist role, a position he has become well known for, and complete Vitality's five-man lineup.
This will be jawgemo's first time competing in the European region, marking the start of a new chapter in his career. He has not won an international event since 2023, a period of drought that also contributed to G2 Esports' decision to rebuild its roster ahead of the upcoming season.
Team Vitality VALORANT lineup for 2027
Team Vitality has kept most of its roster intact heading into the 2027 competitive season. Aside from Derke's departure, the organization has made no other changes to the lineup that reached its first-ever Champions final at VCT 2026 - VALORANT Champions 2026. With jawgemo joining as the new Duelist, this is the roster that will represent Vitality in the VCT EMEA 2027:
As a partnered team, Vitality will not have to go through the Open Qualifiers and has already secured its place at the VCT 2027 EMEA Kickoff, which will take place in Berlin.
