Movistar Riders sign the pair of stadodo and deLonge

The Movistar Riders have hired AWPer Renato "stadodo" Gonçalves to fill out the team's starting five, as well as coach Eloy "deLonge" Suárez, who will replace longstanding manager Galder "bladE" Barcena.

Riders have returned to full strength following a difficult year, their first since losing standout AWPer Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia in 2022. The jinetes parted ways with Pere "sausol" Solsona Saumell in 2023, as well as Alejandro "alex" Masanet and Antonio "MartinezSa" Martinez, support player David "dav1g" Granado Bermudo, who was dropped and subsequently reinstated as an IGL, and coach bladE did not renew his contract. DeLonge, a less experienced Spanish captain who spent a half-year standing behind the Romanian squad Nexus in 2023 and will rejoin Adam "adamS" Marian in this new enterprise, will now take over.
