Jopa reportedly agrees to return to Vitality as its LEC bot laner

Team Vitality has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Jopa for the 2027 LEC season, bringing its former academy player back to the organization.

According to Sheep Esports, the Croatian bot laner was Vitality’s preferred target. The signing has not been officially announced.

Return through the main roster

Jopa represented Vitality.Bee throughout 2024 and 2025 before making his LEC debut with SK Gaming in 2026.

The reported move would return him to Vitality in a different position: taking over the main team’s bottom lane from Carzzy , who has separately been linked with Movistar KOI .

Decision follows other discussions

Jopa previously placed Vitality’s offer on hold while exploring his options. Sheep Esports reports that he also held conversations with Movistar KOI and GIANTX before choosing Vitality.

His arrival would Resolve one position in an otherwise unsettled rebuild. Vitality has also been involved in negotiations concerning its jungle and top-lane positions, with the complete 2027 starting lineup still unannounced.

For Jopa , the agreement would provide a second LEC season after his rookie campaign with SK.
