AcroniK headlines new NOVO Esports RLCS roster

Former Team Liquid star Bruno Alexandre “AcroniK.” dos Santos Lopes headlines a new roster under Italian organization NOVO Esports ahead of RLCS 2026. The Portuguese veteran links up with Giuliano “GiuK” De Lillo and Nico “Nico” Majgren, two burgeoning talents in the European Rocket League scene. The duo spent the latter half of last season competing on Team BDS, where an underwhelming three Open events were followed by an electric display in the Last Chance Qualifier. They narrowly missed out on qualification to the World Championship, reaching the grand finals before bowing out with a 1-4 loss to Ninjas in Pyjamas. For NOVO Esports, the move represents a noticeable pivot away from its Italian roots, as it’ll be the first time the organization has failed to field an Italian professional on its starting lineup.

New goals. New season. Same ambition. 💙
