North American esports organisation Team Elevate has announced the launch of a dedicated gaming house in São Paulo, Brazil.

Known as Rebellion, the facility will act as the organisation’s headquarters and training venue for its rosters competing in a range of titles.

Announced in a video on social media, the facility features a range of state-of-the-art hardware, peripherals and space that enables several teams to train at the same time. In addition to acting as a training ground for its teams, Elevate aims to open it to the local esports scene, allowing players and the local community to use the space for events, boot camps, and activations.

The organisation revealed that it chose São Paulo as a location for its headquarters for “focus, operational stability, and logistical efficiency.” When the facility isn’t being used by its own rosters, Elevate plans to open its doors to teams without the backing of an organisation for practice.

“Rebellion is focused on the performance, stability, and building a lasting presence in the Brazilian esports ecosystem,” said Justin Tan, CEO of Team Elevate. “Brazil is a key part of Elevate’s long-term strategy, and we’re committed to building sustainable operations and supporting the competitive ecosystem locally.”

Team Elevate isn’t the only organisation operating in Brazil. In 2023, Team Liquid opened a training facility in São Paulo, taking over a 13-storey building that acts as a base for employees and players.

Continued Growth for Team Elevate

Team Elevate fields a variety of Brazilian players and rosters in a range of titles, including VALORANT, Rainbow Six and Honor of Kings. Its Honor of Kings roster sits in second place in the Honor of Kings Brazil Championship, where the winner advances to the title’s World Cup, taking place as part of the Esports World Cup.

In February, its Rainbow Six roster competed at the Six Invitational 2026, scoring a top-20 placement before the majority of its players parted ways with the organisation.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
