“It’s a new phase, we have prepared a lot for this launch. We have been out of the scene, but not idle, rather with a strong and daring plan. I am sure that with this team we have assembled, we will be even more connected and ready for new achievements,” said Kaique Rocha.
Team Vikings was launched in 2020, initially playing Fortnite. After that, they transitioned to Valorant and Valorant PT. Among their titles are two Champions Brasil titles, as well as qualification for two world championships.
Kaique Rocha is 23 years old and hails from Taboão da Serra (SP). A significant part of his development process was with the Santos team. After Santos, he spent two years at Sampdoria in Italy, then another two years on loan at Internacional before joining Athletico in 2023.
