In a recent announcement, Team Vitality confirmed that it is partnering up with Team Havoc, a French esports organization that specializes in Fortnite. With this partnership, the club will operate under the name Team Havok by Vitality and use a new co-branded jersey that will feature both Vitality and Havok’s branding.
This alliance is built on Vitality’s “incubation model,” a strategy previously utilized in collaborations with PSG Esports and the acquisition of Indonesia’s Bigetron Esports in early 2025.
The main goal for the partnership is to scale Team Havok’s operations in titles like Fortnite by using Vitality’s established infrastructure.
Team Havok was founded in August 2024 by content creators ZetFar and WaZz, and they quickly became one of the most prominent esports powerhouses in Europe.
The club’s competitive record is mainly highlighted by their victory as the European champions of FNCS Major 2, a performance that solidified their standing as the second-best team in the region.
The duo Tjino and PabloWingu from Havok have already qualified for the upcoming Esports World Cup, aka EWC 2026, in Riyadh. At this event, they will debut the new black and yellow Vitality jerseys. This is a high-priority tournament for Team Vitality, which finished third in the overall club standings during the 2025 edition.
The strategic partnership also focuses on the “creator economy” within Fortnite. Co-founders ZetFar and WaZz bring massive engagement from the French-speaking community. The collaboration will prioritize co-streaming, exclusive merchandising, and influencer-led marketing strategies.
Furthermore, the organization plans to explore the development of custom Fortnite Creative maps, which has become quite a promising sector for brand monetization within the Epic Games ecosystem.
“This partnership illustrates our desire to team up with the best to continue growing,” stated Fabien “Neo” Devide, President of Team Vitality.
For Team Havok, caster Grimz noted that joining a “prestigious organization” like Vitality marks a definitive milestone in the club’s illustrated history.
