The squad includes duelists William ‘SparkR’ Andersson and Philip ‘phi’ Handke, strategists Mikkel ‘Sypeh’ Klein and Arthur ‘dridro’ Szanto, and Vanguard player Andreas ‘Nevix’ Karlsson, all of whom were previously part of TeamCats.

This roster made a significant mark last year, becoming the EU Champions during Marvel Rivals Championship Season 0. They are now joined by Finnbjörn ‘Finnsi’ Jónasson.

“We’re thrilled to join Virtus.pro as a team! We’re eager to collaborate, grow, and make a lasting impact in Marvel Rivals,” Nevix shared.
