Vega Squadron seems to be in the middle of a rebuilding process. Since the squad failed to make it to the IEM Katowice Major, the team has seen the departure of almost fifty percent of its roster. In the Katowice qualifiers, Vega Squadron dropped series to NiP, Vitality, and G2 Esports.

With the addition of seized and scoobyxie, the Vega Squadron roster is as follows:

Dmitriy “ chopper” Chervak

Igor “crush” Shevchenko

Denis “seized” Kostin

Alexander “scoobyxie” Marynych

Artem “Fierce” Ivanov (Coach)
