The lineup includes Mehul “MEJUSTMEHUL” Rawat, who made his name in the pro Free Fire circuit by being a part of True Rippers, Nigma Galaxy, Noble Esports, and more. Mehul also won several esports acclaims with podium finishes in Free Fire Scrim Wars Official, ESportz Premier Series (Phase 1), and UP City Open Official.

Speaking on the occasion, CEO of Team Vitality, Nicolas Maurer said, “Free Fire has seen immense growth over the last couple of years and I’m excited to see Team Vitality enter the fold and showcase what we can do. With this new roster, we also now field athletes from 17 different nationalities as we look to nurture talent across the biggest global esports titles.”
Team Vitality India’s Managing Director, Randall Fernandez, added, “While we are French rooted, our company’s philosophy is about having amazing esports talent and teams that transcend physical boundaries. Indranil has done a great job in scouting for and cherry-picking this roster. We trust his decisions fully and are happy that the team is bonding and grinding hard at our Training Facility for the upcoming FFIC. We are very excited to see them achieve great feats in Free Fire.”
The new team is operating out of the state-of-the-art Team Vitality India Training Facility located in Mumbai along with the Call of Duty Mobile roster. You can follow their updates on Team Vitality India’s Instagram handle.
