Rising MediaMarkt Intel Rising returns on January 15

The Rising MediaMarkt Intelthe official VALORANT league in Spain organized by LVP (GRUP MEDIAPRO), returns on January 15 with new features in the format and title contenders that promise to maximize the excitement on each day.

The competition will consist as always of a regular season that will give way to a playoffs phase, only now one and the other will have more value, since the eight teams will be playing for something: the first six, the access to the playoffs for the title; the last two, the penance of having to play the relegation phase to the Radiant League, VALORANT’s amateur circuit. Therefore, every game will be important to define which teams are fighting for glory and which will have to put their place on the line.

The second major novelty of the Rising MediaMarkt Intel is that it features two new title contenders: Barça eSportswhich already competed in the League of Legends Super League organized by LVP; and FIVEthe Andorran team founded in 2021 and owned by RickyEdit and Agustin51. Barça and FIVE join an eight-team competition that also includes the following teams Ramboot, UCAM, ZETA, KPI, AYM and the reigning three-time Rising champion, CASE Esports.

The Rising MediaMarkt Intel Rising reaches its fifth edition with some new players that are going to give a lot to talk about. In addition, the change of format will cause each match to be key to reach the playoffs or be in danger. Finally, having such an undisputed champion as CASE Esports should motivate the rest of the teams to improve their proposals and fight for the title. I am sure we are going to live a spectacular season.

Barça eSports and FIVE, two ambitious contenders

With the participation of FC Barcelona in the Valorant competition of the LVP we add a new team that will represent the Club during this 2024. The Club continues to shape its commitment to esports and adds a team to the Valorant competition which, together with the one competing in League of Legends, are part of the will to explore new opportunities and reach new audiences.

At FIVE, we are immersed in an atmosphere of great enthusiasm and expectation before our upcoming participation in the Rising MediaMarkt. Having demonstrated our ability and obtained outstanding results in the lower categories, we feel fully prepared and highly motivated to face the challenges of competing in the highest category of the LVP. Our track record in previous competitions, marked by success and good performance, has given us the confidence and drive to aspire to replicate these achievements in an even more competitive and demanding scenario. We keep our aspirations at the top, with the firm intention of representing our team, FIVE, and by extension Andorra, in the most dignified and outstanding way possible in this new stage. This new chapter in the Rising MediaMarkt represents not only a challenge, but also an extraordinary opportunity for us at FIVE. We are committed to put everything we have learned into practice, to show our evolution and to compete with the utmost passion and dedication. Our goal is clear: to take the name of FIVE to the top of the LVP, demonstrating that we are a team capable of facing and excelling at the highest levels of competition.

The team owned by footballer Carlos Casemiro (Manchester United), CASE Esports, will once again put the national throne in play and will be the great rival to beat for the rest of the contenders. It will be from January 15, every Monday and Tuesday from 17:30 hours, on LVP’s Twitch channel.
