Yinsu follows Chronicle to Vitality
Yinsu also appears as an official co-streamer under the Vitality banner, making her double-booked for VCT EMEA.
In reply to the announcement, Collins tweeted, “Those who have been with me this off-season know how serious I am about streaming & becoming the most employed entertainer.”
Yinsu has certainly achieved that feat, however, as a result, Fnatic’s Jack ‘Boaster’ Howlett has lost both his star player, Timofey ‘Chronicle’ Khromov, and his partner to Vitality.
The signing prompted former Fnatic coach, mini, to jokingly quip, “and they called me a traitor…”
Yinsu acknowledged her similar path to Chronicle by tweeting, “Chron is never gonna get rid of me hehe,” in reply to an X comment.
Vitality academy play, Ștefan ‘Sayonara’ Mîtcu and ‘Nightlife’ join Yinsu as Vitality’s other co-streamers.
Everyone else got to join Fnatic Academy, I guess it’s my turn.
