The WESG regional qualifier LAN in Sao Paolo, Brazil concluded with Infamous taking the tournament with a 2-1 game score against the home crowd favorites Kingao+4, ex-paiN Gaming.

Through their entire run in Brazil, Infamous dropped only two matches, both to the Brazilian squads who had the luxury of playing in front of a home crowd. After defeating T Show in the semi-finals, Infamous took down the other Brazilian team left in the tournament, Kingao+4, to claim the largest portion of the $202,000 prize pool.

Infamous was on the verge of losing the grand finals after dropping the first game of the series due a draft with a middle lane Viper and a safe lane Puck not going according to plan.  Game two was equally bad for Infamous, with the game looking lost at the 10 minute mark after mid player, Alonso 'Kotar?' Lion, died four times in the first six minutes of the game on his Alchemist, however, he made an incredible comeback and forced the series to a decisive game three.

Despite having none of their two squads winning the event, Brazil will still be celebrating as the six teams that reached the playoffs stage at the event made it into the $1.5M Global Grand Finals. The matches played in the playoffs were purely for the prize pool distribution.
