A NEW STAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ESPORTS SCENE
With the launch of the 2026 season, the Rising Bees are embarking on a new chapter in their story. The goal is simple: to learn and develop together, and proudly represent Team Vitality on the League of Legends stage. In addition to the Game Changers circuit, the roster will have the opportunity to compete in the new LFL Invitational. This tournament brings together a wide variety of teams (composed of players from Division 2, influencers, and Game Changers) and is an ideal opportunity for the Rising Bees to face different playstyles and gain valuable experience in a mixed competitive environment.
To support their development, the Rising Bees will have the support of Team Vitality's partners and will have access to the club's infrastructure and performance tools, allowing them to train under optimal conditions and, step by step, reach new milestones. By showcasing their journey, the organisation hopes to encourage other women to embark on this adventure and claim their place within the esports community.
