Alexis “zen” The esports superpower and Team Vitality’s budding star, Bernier, have signed a record extension that will last until 2026. Not quite 17 years old, Zen has already had a lasting impact on Rocket League and has been recognized with awards such as Forbes’ “30 under 30” in the Europe’s Sport & Games category.
Zen made his debut in JohnnyBoi_i’s 1V1 exhibition bouts in 2022, displaying unparalleled accuracy and inventiveness. After rising from obscurity to domination, he joined Team Vitality and, with players like Yanis “Alpha54” Champenois, helped the team reach previously unheard-of heights.
Zen made a smooth transition into formal tournaments and made an instant impression. Team Vitality won the 2023 World Championship in Düsseldorf after winning both the Major and the RLCS Regionals. Zen was named MVP of the tournament.
Fast forward to 2024, Team Vitality remains a force with zen at its core, securing multiple regional wins and Major qualifications. The recent triumph in the RLCS Major 2 Open Qualifier solidifies their status as favorites heading into the London Finals, poised to secure another shot at the World Championship in Austin.
“The renewal of zen’s contract underscores our commitment to excellence,” said Fabien ‘Neo’ Devide, co-founder and President of Team Vitality. “Together, we aim to redefine standards and inspire future generations.”
As Team Vitality gears up for global challenges, their limited edition jerseys symbolize a new chapter in esports fashion, blending tradition with innovation.
