One of the most experienced teams in the region and the oldest one to be exact, starting their League of Legends journey back in 2012 where they placed 3rd at the Riot Season 2 Brazilian Championship. 2013 did not start as they expected as they finished 5th-6th IEM Season VII - Global Challenge Sao Paulo and two months later they finished 11th-12th at IEM Season VII - World Championship, which was more of a disappointment for them. But only two months after Venon joined the team by taking over Tittu’s position at Top lane, the team achieved 1st place at the Brasil Gaming League Arena winning 3-2 against CNB e-Sports Club. However, this was not their only encounter as they faced again in the finals where paiN Gaming was able to once more, come out on top. With their will renewed with their success, they traveled to Germany to play for a spot in the World Championship Series at the Riot Season 3 International Wildcard Tournament, they achieved a spot in the finals with strong performance throughout the group stage sadly for them, their strength and will fell short as the Lithuanian squad GamingGear.eu knocked them out with a 2-0 score.
Now they come to the International Challenge after only dropping a game to Keyd in the Qualifiers to show their strength as they fight the best in the region with their brand new support Minerva.

A fairly new team with almost no experience in major tournaments, only the Riot Season 3 Brazilian Championship where they placed 5th-8th and IEM Season VII - Global Challenge Sao Paulo where they placed 7th-8th. However, their most recent performance at the 2013 WCG Brazil Qualifier shows their will to become the best in the region as they placed 2nd against Kabum! e-Sports winning the first series 2-0 but falling short in the second one, losing with a 0-2 score.
They come to the International Challenger to show what they are made of and look for revenge against paiN that sent them to the 3rd place match at the Qualifier.

Formerly called Nex Impetus, a roster that started playing together a few months ago but being a fairly new team did not matter to them as their stars shined at the 2013 WCG Brazil Qualifier where they won 1st place only losing a game throughout the online Qualifier against AceZone e-Sports but losing two in a set against Keyd Team.
KaBuM e-Sports is still a new team and could easly crumble against the pressure of the most experienced teams and players such as aggresive's paiN Gaming squad.

Formerly called Nex Impetus back in April 2013, one of the underdogs of the region, with a low experience even in minor tournaments, participating only in three at the current date, winning 1st place in two of them, Go4LoL BR 2013 March and Go4LoL BR 2013 April and losing at the finals of the Solomid BR Invitational 1 against Keyd Team with a 0-2 score. CNB has only participed in one Major event, the Riot Season 3 Brazilian Championship that took place in 27th July 2013 going undefeated in the group stages and semifinals but losing in the finals against paiN Gaming with a 1-3 score.
CNB e-Sports Club is considered a very versatile team, adapting to enemies' playstyle as Danagorn and DRAEK share the starting role as the Jungler, they come to the International Challenge with strong performances but weak capitalization against most experienced teams.

Dash9 Gaming one of the most experienced and oldest teams coming to this tournament together with paiN gaming, their start as a team dates to early 2012 when they were named We Are Not Level 30. They have played many games against former teams in North America at tournaments such as Go4LoL NA and Latin American teams at tournaments in the South American region. Their lastest experience at a Major tournament was in August 2013 at the Latin American North Qualifiers for a spot at the World Championship Series where they ended 3rd at Latin American South Qualifiers after winning against Tico Gaming 2-0.
They come to the Brazil Game Show as one of the favorities only dropping games to Team Quetzal in the semifinals and winning 2-1 against Arenales Net Gaming in the finals.

Arenales Net Gaming is the fairly new formed powerhouse from Perú, one of the most fearsome teams in the region, they are currently in a streak, although they lost against Lyon Gaming 0-2 at the Latin American North Qualifiers in August and lost their chance to play at the Latin American Regionals, they still performed on the top of their play at the WCG 2013 Perú Qualifiers beating Shot e-Sports in the finals 3-2 winning the right to call themselves the best in Perú and a not-so-bad as pride, spot for the WCG 2013 in China.
They arrived to the Brazil Game Show as the 2nd spot knocking out one of the strongest teams in the region, Lyon Gaming in the Quarterfinals by winning 2-0 and only dropping games in the finals against Dash9 Gaming where they lost with a 1-2 score.

A less experienced team compared to ANG and Dash9, their recent performance shows how strong they are winning 3rd place at the Liga Samsung 2013.
Now with experienced NikeZ, their newest adquistion that joined the team in August, Renegades of Hell comes to the Brazil Gaming Show to show how much they have improved over the past two months, after getting their spot by not dropping a single game throughout the qualifiers until the finals where they finally lost 0-2 to the Argentinian squad Isurus Gaming.

The argentinian squad conformed by the former Rock Solid roster is considered the best Argentinian team altogether with Team LoL Cave, showing it off in the lastest performances, such as Torneos Espacio Personal Juegos 2013 where they won 1st place not losing a single game throughout the tournament, but what really shows their true colors are the Latin American North Qualifiers for the Brazil Game Show, where they didn't drop a single game either, beating Renegades of Hell in the finals with a solid 2-0 score.
Isurus Gaming Argentina's strength is the time they have been playing together since the start of Rock Solid and the synergy they have developed throughout practice. They come to the Brazil Game Show to show why they are the strongest Argentinian team.
