Team Vitality release ExoTiiK and stizzy as the Rocket League team prepares for major roster changes ahead of the 2027 season.
On Tuesday, October 20, Team Vitality announced the departure of Brice “ExoTiiK” Bigeard from the Rocket League roster amid a major roster overhaul ahead of the 2027 season.
The departure of the former Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) World Championship MVP ends ExoTiiK’s two-year-long stint with the French team, which he joined in October 2024.
Since putting on the Vitality jersey, ExoTiiK has represented the team in seven LAN RLCS events but has been unable to reach the heights he reached with Team BDS, with whom he won the 2024 World Championship.
During his time on Vitality, the 23-year-old has competed in 12 RLCS Open tournaments and has placed top four in all but one, winning two in the 2026 season.
While Vitality have failed to win a single LAN event with ExoTiiK, they have placed top four in four RLCS Majors. That includes a runner-up finish at the RLCS 2026 Boston Major and a semifinal run in the RLCS 2026 Paris Major.
Despite the team’s success in 2026, Team Vitality concluded the season with a disappointing ninth-12th place exit from the World Championship – a repeat of 2025’s results. In response, Vitality opted to make some roster changes for 2027.
In addition to parting ways with ExoTiiK, Vitality also released Gaspar “stizzy” Andres on Tuesday and are expected to make further changes for next year.
While the French team have yet to announce their plans, Team Vitality are anticipated to sign a new lineup, consisting of former Spacestation Gaming player João “diaz” Henrique, who will link up with current Gentle Mates duo Nassim “nass” Bali and Oskar “Oski” Gozdowski.
As a result, Vitality are also set to release their iconic player, Alexis “zen” Bernier, who has been with the French squad since 2023 and has hoisted the 2022-23 World Championship trophy.
