Founded in 2016, Misfits Gaming initially gained recognition for competing in the League of Legends European Championship (LEC), the Overwatch League (Florida Mayhem), and the Call of Duty League (Florida Mutineers). The organization, however, shifted its focus toward gaming, media, and culture, selling its LEC franchise slot at the end of 2022 and rebranding in 2023.
Commenting on his new role at Team Vitality, Roberts shared on LinkedIn: “Vitality is an organisation I have long admired and one that has created an enviable blend of performance, brand and community, making them one of the most recognised brands in esports. I am delighted to join their journey and am looking forward to building on the incredible success and bringing fresh perspectives to drive the next chapter of growth.”
