paiN MiT - Support and Team Captain
More about the team: This team was formerly known as ExP Games, until they signed a sponsorship with paiN Gaming. They are composed by what is known to be the highest placed BRs. They won the great majority of tournaments they've entered since their inception, but lack International caliber and experience. They recently played EHomda's team on a showmatch, which they lost 2-0.
During the qualifiers, they dropped only one game - to contender Team Awake, but still winning the match 2-1.

Gabriel "prZo" Hirota - AP Carry
Mateus "Yetz" Vieira - Jungler
Leonardo "Alocsman" Belo - Support
Vitor "Lunalretlc" Silva - Bruiser
Rodrigo "Kalec" Rodrigues - AD Carry and Team Captain
More about the team: While the Solo Queue measuring system for player skill (aka Elo) isn't as high as the paiN Gaming roster, Team wWw was the only team so far to beat paiN Gaming in a tournament. They blazed through the qualifiers, 2-0'ing everyone in their path. In my opinion, they're the most well-coordinated team in Brazil. Everyone's expecting the wWw vs paiN grudge match.
In past events, wWw took a 3rd place finish in the LoL Spring Series Brazil event, losing in the semi-finals to Team NN after a series of disconnects, so expect some drama if those teams cross paths!

More about the team: CS and DotA progamer brTT was in the roster for Exp Games, but past experiences with paiN Gaming made him quit the team. NN quickly embraced him to AD carry, expecting better results from now on.

More about the team: It seems the original team roster won't be able to play, since the plane tickets are too costly, so they will play mostly with subs ):
Notable Players:
+ Show Spoiler +
paiN Kamikat: With only 15 years, Kamikat is the highest placed BR player in the NA servers, rating he earned at the end of season 1 playing mostly Mordekaiser (huehuehue) and solo top Udyr. Whenever I watch him play, I can rarely point any mistakes, save for that missed CS or two.
Since we will have 0ish ping at Campus Party, he said he wanted to play champions that rely on this kind of advantage - namely Orianna, Lux, Fizz and Cassiopeia. If you like solid, dominant play, he's the one to watch. (btw, I will scream like a little girl/Phreak if he picks Heimerdinger).
paiN juC: Arguably the best Lee Sin in Latin America, this guy goes bananas whenever the pick is open. His style of jungling reminds me a lot of saintvicious, with a lot of pressure coming from ganks. juC also placed very high in TSM's solomid championships. A very skilled duelist.
wWw prZo: One of the most creative AP carries, he tends to favor position-related champions. Known best for his Gragas play, prZo is also known for his Ahri and Swain. He likes playing champions that favor mobility for some heavy ganks.
wWw yeTz: You never know what awaits you when 16 year old yeTz is taking the jungle pick. From the mainstream junglers to jungle TF, this guy has an uncanny knowledge for jungling. He oughtta be entertaining when using his unconventional junglers.
NN Luuuuuuuuuukz: While yeTz knows his junglers, Lukz (for short) knows his solos. Once upon a time, when there was a ESL 1v1 LoL league, there was intense battles to see who would be at the top: Lukz or juC.
NN brTT: This guy is the real deal. Accomplished pro both in Counter-Strike and DotA, brTT has the knack for online games. He started playing League 4 months ago and is already playing at 1800 elo. brTT has shown beautiful play from carry, experience he had already when playing DotA.
Awk taQQxi: While not as focused on mobility-style AP carries like prZo, taQQxi has shown some spectacular play on the AP carry positioning, carrying his team to victory a couple of times. He reminds me of old Regi - given a good start, he will dominate, while the opposite is also true.
Awk zGustavo1: I never heard of this guy until the qualifiers. Lets just say that this guy was the 1 in paiN`s 2-1 against Awake. He carried the team so hard g1 that during g2 and g3 paiN's jungler CAMPED bot lane almost the entire game, so he wouldnt have big advantages over Marilene.
