Team Liquid has announced a major commercial evolution for its Brazilian operations, officially rebranding its Rainbow Six Siege roster as Team Liquid Alienware. The move elevates a partnership that dates back to 2011 from a traditional sponsorship to a naming rights agreement, a move that mirrors the organisation’s League of Legends team, currently competing under the same name in North America.
The rebranding coincides with the unveiling of a new, veteran-heavy line-up designed to return the “Cavalaria” (Cavalry) to international dominance. The team is set to debut under the new moniker in the South America League on 31 March.

According to the organisation, the expanded deal represents a deep technical integration between the players and Dell Technologies’ gaming brand. Athletes based at the Alienware Training Facility in São Paulo—one of the largest esports operations centers in the world—will continue to serve as a testing ground for Alienware prototypes. This feedback loop allows players to influence the design and ergonomics of future hardware, while the team utilizes flagship monitors and PCs to maintain a competitive edge.
Matt McGowan, Head of Product at Alienware, commented on the technical synergy: “The naming rights deepen our commitment to Team Liquid. It reflects how integrated our collaboration has become, from co-developing products with athletes to supporting the training environment in Brazil with cutting-edge technology.”
The new roster reflects a shift toward “competitive maturity,” blending multi-champion talent, counting on former W7M and FURIA players who won multiple international titles over their careers, with a psychological and technical support system. The line-up includes:
- Diego “Kheyze” Zanello Sakaguti;
- Felipe “Felipox” De Lucia;
- Felipe “Nade” Sá Ferreira;
- Gabriel Maia;
- João Vitor “Jv92”.
Supporting the players is a multidisciplinary staff led by Head Coach Igor “Igoorctg” dos Santos, including an assistant coach, an analyst, and a dedicated Psychologist/Performance Coach, Bruna Airini, also former FURIA. This focus on performance infrastructure mirrors the broader industry trend of treating player well-being as a primary performance metric, similar to recent moves by Team Heretics and Riot Games.
