Turkish League of Legends support Kadir ‘Fleshy’ Kemiksiz has announced he is looking for a new team in the LEC.
The player has been a starter for Team Vitality since the LEC Summer 2025 split, after being promoted from Vitality Bee.
However, Vitality has closed its academy LoL team Vitality.Bee, for 2027, due to uncertainty around the LFL’s future.
So now, Fleshy is departing the organisation and is looking for a new team, with his contract expiring on November 16, 2026.
Team Vitality’s Difficult 2026 LEC Season
It appears Team Vitality are going back to the drawing board after failing to qualify for a major international tournament once again.
The organisation, which placed third in the Esports World Cup Club Championship, hasn’t qualified for LoL Worlds since 2018.
Though Vitality did play internationally this year, representing the LEC as EMEA’s fifth seed at the new Demacia Cup Global Invitational.
Vitality was the only LEC team that made the Knockout Stages at that event, but lost 3-2 in a close series with eventual finalists KT Rolster.

It continued Vitality’s long streak of failing to win a Knockout Stage series after the team lost all their matches in the LEC Spring and Summer Playoffs.
Yet, Vitality finished top two in the regular season of both of those splits. Suggesting the team should have been capable of much more.
For now, no other announcements have been made about the LEC roster.
However, all of Vitality’s players, except for Kaan ‘Naak Nako’ Okan, have their contracts expiring in November 2026.
