ALEX Reportedly Leaves Team Vitality; hAdji Favorite to Replace Him
By Max Mallow
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player Alex McMeekin has left Team Vitality following a disappointing performance at IEM Katowice, according to a report from 1pv.
"The British player would no longer want to play for personal reasons and would not want to travel as much, as the second half of the season is shaping up to be very busy. That's why he would have decided to leave Vitality on his own, leaving the team without captain and leader," the report's translation stated.

ALEX Reportedly Leaves Team Vitality; hAdji Favorite to Replace Him
According to 1pv, Team LDLC rifler Ali "hAdji" Hainouss is the favorite to replace ALEX in the lineup.
Team Vitality had a strong 2019 winning ECS Season 7 and EPICENTER. The team also had runner-up finishes at ESL One Cologne and DreamHack Masters Malmo. The team added former G2 Esports star Richard "shox" Papillon on Sept. 28 and he was influential in the team's EPICENTER win.
The team had a weak start to the year failing to qualify from its BLAST Premier group for the Spring Final. Team Vitality's CS:GO team also failed to make it out of groups at IEM Katowice.
