Esports News UK caught up with Kyle “Vanity” Garthwaite from Vexed Gaming’s UK CSGO team at EGX 2017.
We asked about the 20-year-old’s ambitions with the team, winning his first LAN at i61 and playing in 1v1s at the HyperX stand at EGX.
Vanity spoke about playing in the FaceIt Pro League (FPL) and wanting Vexed to strive towards even bigger and better things.
Vanity told Esports News UK: “I want us to become the best team in the UK, and move onto the European scene and just work our way up. I want to be the best.”

As a long-time gamer having first picked up the NES controller in the late ’80s, he has written for a range of publications including GamesTM, Nintendo Official Magazine, industry publication MCV and others.

Note: Dom still produces the British Esports newsletter on a freelance basis, so our coverage of British Esports is always kept simple – usually just covering the occasional press release – because of this conflict of interest.
