Press Release JUNE 25, 2019 OVER THE TOP! RENAULT SPORT TEAM VITALITY BECOMES THE 2019 WORLD CHAMPIONS ON ROCKET LEAGUE! (RLCS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP) Newark 23rd June 2019 What a memorable way to close a fruitful season for Kaydop (FR), Fairy Peak (FR) and Scrub Killa (SCT) with this world champions title won in the great final against G2Esports (4 1). Renault Sport Team Vitality wins the world title, shortly after claiming the European one a couple of months ago. This new title makes Vitality the RLCS Season 7 World Champions and historically, gives a 3rd World Championship title to Kaydop (FR), while Scrub Killa (SCT) becomes the MVP of the tournament. READY FOR VICTORY. After a disappointing and unexpected 912th place at DreamHack Dallas earlier this month, the Renault Sport Team Vitality squad, together with their manager Gregan (UK), came to Newark with one clear goal in mind: bring back the trophy to Europe and prove that other teams had no chance against them. The group stage saw a clumsy start, pushing the squad at the second place of their group. On their path to the grand final they would have to cross the road of NRG and Cloud9. After a tough first game against NRG, the black and yellow trio started playing smoothly and managed to get to the grand final in a glimpse after a victory 31 against NRG and an impressive 40 against Cloud9. ONE WAY ROAD FOR ONE TEAM ONLY. The closer you get to the summit makes the harder you fall but falling was not an option for Renault Sport Team Vitality would stand firmly on their wheels and get their hands on this awaited trophy. The final games allowed the full trio to play their best Rocket League games against G2Esports, showing to the whole world, that Renault Sport Team Vitality is the best team in the world on Rocket League in 2019. It’s an incredible feeling. Winning this title today is the result of 6 months of intense work and I’m so glad to win it, with more than teammates but friends” shared Scrub Killa (SCT) who became MVP of the tournament. ASSETS.
