Vitality lost their Danish star rifler Emil “Magisk” Reif earlier this season when it was revealed that he was to depart the team to reportedly join Falcons. The 25-year-old leaves the ship after nearly two years of service and Major trophy in his bag.
mezii announced as Magisk replacement on Vitality
We spoke with Vitality’s in-game leader Dan “apEX” Madesclaire at the media day for BLAST Fall Final in Copenhagen, where we asked him about the departure of Magisk and his successor William “mezii” Merriman.
– No one can replace Magisk nowadays. He’s one, if not the best anchor in the world and he has a really special role on T-side. A guy like Magisk is taking some space in the team with his voice and everything. Now I just expect flameZ and also mezii to step up more – not as much as Magisk – but to find their place together.
– As I said mezii is not exactly like Magisk. He has a lot of different roles, but I think it’s a good fit. He has played under Fnatic in a big mess for a long time. He’s been in-game leading, changing roles left and right, so I think it will be good for him here.
