paiN Gaming is a Brazilian esports organization founded in March 2010 by Arthur Zarzur, a former professional Dota player. It is best known for his League of Legends team, which has participated in the Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends (CBLOL), the top flight of the game in Brazil, since 2012.[1]
paiN Gaming is one of the oldest esports organisations in Brazil and has a higher following on social media than many traditional sports clubs.[2] It was also the first esports organization in Latin America to have a gaming house and the first in the world to have a fan membership program.[3]
paiN Gaming was founded in March 2010 by Arthur "PAADA" Zarzur, a former professional Dota player. Its inaugural League of Legends roster consisted of players from CNB e-Sports Club and GameWise. The organization has since expanded into the professional scenes of Clash Royale, Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Free Fire and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
In December 2025, the partnership between paiN Gaming and the Desimpedidos resulted in the formation of a joint team to compete in the Kings League, a seven-a-side football competition.[4]
