MEET VEX
Little Flame. Big Attitude.
He's small. He's fiery. He's got opinions about your gameplay.
A familiar flame.
A whole lot of attitude.
Meet Vex — the cheeky little flame who's been living in the Proving Grounds logo. Now he's got a name, a personality and absolutely no intention of behaving himself.
Cute? Obviously. Competitive? Always. Quiet about your questionable gaming habits? Not a chance.
He loves gaming, esports and a well-timed roast. But underneath the mischief, he's on your side. He'll roast your gameplay, then help you queue for the next round.
The attitude is big. The welcome is for everyone.

How Vex got his name
In October 2026, we asked the Proving Grounds community to help name our little flame. You sent in suggestions, voted for your favourites and chose Vex.
Thank you to everyone who submitted a name or cast a vote. You helped turn a familiar part of our logo into a character with a name of his own.
The community chose the name. The attitude came included.
