Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

French leading global esports organisation Team Vitality is pleased to reveal V.BOAT, home of the BLAST.tv Paris Major that will level up fan engagement and celebrate the city of Paris. V.BOAT will float along the Seine to celebrate the pinnacle of the CS:GO esports calendar coming to Team Vitality’s hometown, alongside the iconic bateaux mouches.

The floating headquarters will serve as a hub for fans, and play host to a variety of activities including testing their skills against the legendary player at ZywOo’s Corner, reinventing the rules of Rocket League with Zen, Alpha54, and Radosin, attending viewing parties, and more. Adorned with Team Vitality branding, V.BOAT will also serve as a shuttle, taking fans to the Accor Arena for the BLAST.tv Paris Major.

TEAM VITALITY’S V.BOAT, HOME OF THE BLAST.TV PARIS MAJOR

Following their recent success at the BLAST.tv Premier Spring Groups 2023, Team Vitality has secured their spot in the Legends Stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major, a momentous occasion for the team as they prepare to compete in a major CS:GO tournament on their home soil for the first time.

Recently, the french team also won the IEM Rio 2023, showing their determination and strong mentality throughout the competition.

Nicolas Maurer, CEO of Team Vitality commented, “As this is the first time the CS:GO Major is on our home soil, we wanted to think big. Having our own boat on the Seine is both a real tribute to our Parisian roots, but also offers our fans a unique experience they will remember for years to come. For the first time, they will be able to test themselves against a professional player, and not just any professional player: ZywOo. We hope that our team will carry our French colours as far as possible in the competition to offer them a memorable show!”

FROM TEAM VITALITY STARS ZYWOO TO ZEN, TAILOR-MADE ACTIVATIONS FOR ESPORTS FANS

Throughout the Champions Stage, participants will be able to enjoy both CS:GO matches in Bercy and online, or they can come and have fun on the V.BOAT. Team Vitality has prepared a whole programme of activities with its partners, in which fans can participate all weekend.
