VALORANT: Who is lissa?

by

You know that awesome six-second VALORANT clip that’s been going around? Well, it features Giulia “lissa” Lissa, and she’s a pro player for MIBR GC! She’s seriously good, and that clip really shows it.

You’ve probably seen amazing plays from a VALORANT pro named Giulia “lissa” Lissa recently, especially if you follow the Game Changers scene. She currently plays for MIBR GC, and here’s a closer look at who she is.

lissa vs Team Liquid

Lissa started playing VALORANT professionally in 2021, competing in tournaments and the Gamers Club (GC) series across Brazil and Latin America. Throughout most of 2022, she played for Gamelanders Purple, regularly finishing in the top ranks. They often placed second, frequently losing to Team Liquid Brazil.

She quickly joined LOUD and earned her first qualifying victory, defeating TL in the process. But in the second Brazil series of VCT 2023 Game Changers, LOUD unfortunately lost to TL again.

Over the next few years, she played for Team Brav Soldier GC and Corinthians Esports GC before ultimately joining MIBR.

MIBR lissa

This pickup happened in June of 2025. The roster is composed of:

  • Melissa “meL” Millena
    • Not to be confused with Melanie “meL” Capone, who plays for Shopify Rebellion Gold
  • Nicolas “srN” Niederauer
  • Paula “bstrdd” Naguil
  • Giulia “lissa” Lissa
  • IGL: Camila “sayuri” Obam
  • Head Coach: Marcelo “pleets” Leite
  • Assistant Coach: Jonathan “JhoW” Glória

Lissa won her first championship with MIBR at the VCT 2025: Game Changers Brazil Stage 2, defeating Team Liquid 3-1 in the final. However, Team Liquid turned the tables in the Final Stage, winning a close 3-2 series. This meant MIBR couldn’t directly qualify for the Game Changers Championship 2025, but they still had a chance to earn a spot.

I was so hyped when they qualified for the GCC through the Last Chance Qualifier! You might have seen this crazy clip floating around online – it’s from the Brazilian broadcast of the grand finals. It happened during a really long technical pause while they were in overtime on the third map – it was a tense moment, to say the least!

A clip of Lissa gained popularity within the VALORANT community after being shared by pro player Jenniffer “JanNy” Aysha, and then reposted by the official MIBR account. Other organizations, including Fnatic, and many individuals also shared the clip.

It soon broke containment and entered other communities, like League of Legends and Counter-Strike.

I was so hyped to see MIBR beat Wadadaa not once, but twice! That secured their spot in GCC, which is awesome. Along with Team Liquid Brazil, KRÜ Blaze, and Shopify Rebellion Gold, they’ll be representing all of the Americas in the tournament starting November 20th, 2025. I can’t wait to watch!
