As the lone Portuguese player in Vivi's Adventure, flex support AFoxx was always bound to stand out. He distinguished himself more so through his excellent Zenyatta and Ana play, however, putting up strong performances for the up-and-coming Swedish team.
Due to changes in his work and personal life, AFoxx has stepped down from Vivi's Adventure and is now searching for another team contending with those at the top.
This change comes straight after a disappointing Contender Season Zero group stage for Vivi's, who had set themselves up for a playoff spot. In the first week, Vivi's ended the round robin with wins over NiP and GamersOrigin, only losing a nail-bitingly close match to Team Singularity. They finished just behind the Danes but with a better overall map record, looking strong for the second week's repeat.
Unfortunately, with a playoff spot in their sights, Vivi's tried to change and experiment to keep the pressure on their opponents. The plan backfired and their performance dipped; in Group C with its incredibly parity and high level of competition, the slump quickly led to their elimination.
I have stepped out of the team vivis adventure due some life struggles/changes.

I want to thank them for the amazing 4 months...
While AFoxx searches for a new home, Vivi's Adventure is trialling replacement flex supports. They are not limiting themselves to Swedish nationals as Vivi's already have an English coach, keeping the pool open for any viable, talented player.
The incomplete Vivi's Adventure roster is now:
- Erik "Mwumbwahti" Lansner (DPS)
- Henrik "Henzu" Zudemberg (DPS)
- Elliot "ELLIVOTE" Vaneryd (Flex)
- Lukas "LullSiSH" Wiklund (Tank)
- Sebastian "Zekor" Malmström (Support)
