Team Vitality couldnt live up to the expectations. Jungler Bo seems to be benched and rumors about his replacement are starting to circulate.
Team Vitality is struggling in the LEC at the moment. The star-studded roster is dead last in the league, and the danger of missing the group stage and the following play-offs is slowly becoming a reality. A reaction to this might be the reconstruction of the"Super-Team". Now, a cryptic tweet by jungler Zhou "Bo" Yang-Bo has sparked rumors of him potentially leaving the Vitality and the LEC.
Now new rumors about his potential replacement are circulating through Reddit and other LoL Esport related platforms.
Is Bo Leaving The LEC?
At the weekend, Vitality lost against Fnatic, Astralis and G2. And this might have been the last time that we saw the "Super Team" in action, at least with this roster constellation. Now, Jungler Bo has tweeted a cryptic message on his Twitter site, in which he just wrote: "我将会回来", which can be roughly translated to "I will be back".

There are two ways to interpret this. He could mean that he or the team will be back stronger in the next couple of matches, or that he's leaving the team to come back at another point of his career. Right now, Vitality's roster consists of Toplaner Gyutae "Photon" Kyung, Midlaner Luka "Perkz" Perkovic, ADC Elias "Upset" Lipp, Support Norman "Kaiser" Kaiser and Bo.
The team started with a lot of ambition but lost its groove in the last weeks and couldn't really live up to the expectations.
Bo Replaced With Academy Jungler?
Just a day after his cryptic post on Twitter, rumors started to circulate about his potential replacement. It seems to the case that Bo has been benched by the French organization and that he will be replaced by Academy Jungler Kacper "Daglas" Dagiel.
We could already see Daglas in action this weekend, when Vitality has to face KOI, Team BDS and Excel in the upcoming game days. Vitality is last in the league and this weekend is their last chance to turn the tide and qualify for the next stage of the LEC.
At the moment, we're still waiting for a reaction or statement from Team Vitality. But it would be interesting to see if a newly formed Team Vitality might be able to turn the tight.
