Today, Team Vitality is excited to announce the arrival of VALORANT players Clément “CyvOph” Millard and Ștefan “Sayonara” Mîtcu the club’s elite roster.
French player CyvOph will join the VALORANT roster from Mandatory with immediate effect, while Sayonara has been loaned to DVM in the French VRL – French Challengers League.
20-year-old Frenchman Clément “CyvOph” Millard has officially joined Team Vitality’s VALORANT roster. CyvOph, formerly of Mandatory, is one of France’s top up-and-coming talents, with a plethora of French tournament wins under his belt, including the VALORANT Open Tour France 2022: Stage 2.
“CyvOph is an extremely motivated player that has shown great potential when working with the team.” says Daniel “Faded” Hwang, Head coach of Team Vitality’s VALORANT team. “His natural connection with the team and willingness to grow makes him the perfect fit.”
In addition to the signing of CyvOph, Team Vitality has also signed Moldovan prodigy Ștefan “Sayonara” Mîtcu on a pre-contract. Sayonara joins from DVM, and has been loaned back to the French organisation to further his development in the VALORANT scene. Regarded as one of Europe’s top prospects, Sayonara was named Stage MVP during the VALORANT Challengers 2025 France: Revolution Stage 1 semi-final earlier this year. He has also featured for Fnatic in numerous off-season tournaments, such as Red Bull Home Ground and the Riot Games ONE PRO INVITATIONAL 2024.
With the additions of CyvOph and Sayonara, Team Vitality has strengthened its position as one of Europe’s top VALORANT teams, following their VCT 2025: EMEA Kickoff win, and top-four finish at VALORANT Masters: Bangkok. The team will consist of Saif “Sayf” Jibraeel, Kimmie “Kicks” Laasner, Felipe “Less” de Loyola Basso, Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev, and Clément “CyvOph” Millard.
“We’re thrilled about the new additions to our VALORANT roster,” says Fabien “Neo” Divide, President of Team Vitality. “Securing one of France’s top talents in CyvOph reinforces our identity as one of the world’s leading organizations and with Sayonara joining, our roster is stronger than ever. Their skill, dedication, and synergy with the team put us in a great position for the challenges ahead. We can’t wait to see them in action and for our fans to support us on this journey.”
With CyvOph’s addition to the team, Nikita “trexx” Cherednichenko will move to the inactive roster.
The new-look roster will be first seen at the VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 1 – Group Stage, beginning on March 26, 2025.
