Team Vitality will have rosters in PUBG Mobile, MLBB, Free Fire, and Honor of Kings. Bigetron Esports found great success in PUBG Mobile as the firm won many major titles. The roster is all set to participate in the PMSL 2025 SEA Summer, where they will fight for a slot in the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) Riyadh.

With the acquisition, the club now has a presence in the MPL Indonesia, a franchised MLBB tournament. The firm will now feature both men and women rosters in MLBB, one of the most popular mobile MOBA game.
