Rise are bringing more firepower to their team with the addition of both Kevin "POISED" Ngo and Jason "neptune" Tran. The latter parted ways with Immortals earlier this month, after being part of the organization’s VALORANT team rebuilding process that began in October 2020. He comes into Rise having finished 2nd in both the GFUEL Energy Games and the Renegades x NSG VALORANT Invitational, in addition to getting 3rd in the Nerd Street Gamers - Monthly August, and ended up 5th-8th in the biggest event of 2020, the First Strike North America Regional Final.

As for POISED, the former Dignitas player left the team in September 2020, and since then, has competed for a number of teams for a chance to prove himself in the scene. The Canadian got 3rd place in the Allied Esports Strafe Series #2, 4th in the Pop Flash VALORANT Invitational, and 3rd-4th in both the PAX Arena VALORANT Invitational and the Trovo Challenge - North America.

Both players are now officially part of Rise’s VALORANT roster competing in the VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - North America - Challengers 1 - Open Qualifier and will hope to prove why they were picked up by the organization. Their most recent result was ending up 5th-8th in the Pittsburgh Knights Before Christmas, and they definitely want to lift trophies in this year’s competitions.

Rise now consists of:

United States Chris "riku" Piasecki United States Todd "anger" Williams Canada Adam "Ange" Milian Canada Kevin "POISED" Ngo United States Jason "neptune" Tran

United States Erik "dabears" Stromberg (Coach)
