paiN fold; cogu teamless

23-6-2013 14:14

According to myCNB.com.br, paiN's CS:GO division have decided to call it quits.

Created in December with three former members of paiN's 1.6 squad, the Brazilian team made headlines in February when they landed Raphael "cogu" Camargo after the famous AWPer had been removed from ProGaming.TD.

Given the lack of professional tournaments taking place in Brazil right now, however, paiN had rarely been seen in action, with their only achievement being a second-place finish in the Razer CS:GO Challenge.

Last month, rumors emerged that Frederico "atx" Maia and Willian "Lul4" Elias had both parted company with paiN, and it has now been confirmed that the team have disbandment.

cogu & co now free agents

It is believed that the team have grown disillusioned with the lack of CS:GO action in Brazil and also the lack of commitment shown by Raphael "cogu" Camargo since he was drafted in.

paiN had the following players:

Felippe "felippe1" Martins
Frederico "atx" Maia
Willian "LuL4" Elias
Lorenzo "lrz" Araujo
Raphael "cogu" Camargo

cogu, ho ho ho

The major problem of the Brazilian scenario, is that the players still play much in CS1.6, not to mention that there are no championships and no motivation for players migrate to CSGO, is the fact that the brand COUNTER STRIKE in Brazil, has died long time.

2013-06-23 14:28

I want to see some Brazilian's comments, especially BrazilianGangsta's.

2013-06-23 14:30

there is no CSGO in brazil... the game isn't popular here. None likes it.

2013-06-23 17:58

gametracker.com/search/csgo/BR/?&searchi.. gametracker.com/search/csgo/AR/?sort=c_n.. Compare between argentina and brazil, ofc brazil have more online servers, ESEA, etc... then we have argentina with lemondogs orga... and less than the half of the servers hosted in brazil xD

2013-06-23 23:47

Nothing special here, just an dead scene and a team with 3 retards,1 unmotivated cogu and an unlucky lorenzo.

2013-06-24 00:12

about time

2013-06-23 14:36

better get a decent job oldie

2013-06-23 14:40

Still an active 1.6 scene in BRAZIL

2013-06-23 14:55

who cares

2013-06-23 15:13

cogu is joining #changeBrasil.

2013-06-23 15:16

hmm, kinda didn't see them unfolded... so i guess it's no big deal to fold for them :)

cogu Bruno fnx.. ohh 1.6 you are beautiful)

2013-06-23 15:38

FalleN and fnx needs to go cs:go! Bring on prd too.

2013-06-23 15:51

Prd was playing for teamTD yesterday

2013-06-23 17:12

They already do play CSGO, and have been quite a while.

2013-06-23 18:46

Really? Why dont they play competetiv gaming? I thought FalleN and company played some 1.6 still.

2013-06-23 20:12

They do play competitive, they're in a couple Brazilian leagues.

2013-06-23 20:26

Yeah, but international tournaments. They were awesome in 1.6. FalleN was, and still is, my favorite player. I've always dreamt of a team combined with FalleN, prd, fnx, foxj and nak. WHAT A TEAM! 3 awpers, but hey! ;)

2013-06-23 21:07

cogu so terrible in GO, bye cogu come back to life!

2013-06-23 16:06

playArt still far the best in BR and probably better than NiP too, shame tournament organizers are too dumb to invite them.

2013-06-23 16:22

huehue dat troll

2013-06-24 00:05

cs:go dead in brazil

2013-06-23 16:49

2013-06-23 16:56

2013-06-23 20:58

cogu really don't have luck :(

What an unlucky boy

2013-06-23 17:22

sucks for south americans :/

2013-06-23 17:51

Our scene csgo in Brazil is poor. We dont have leagues, players, teams to train and enough sponsors... no one can focus 100% on csgo because no one have a return... gl in real life cogu... gl paiN! ps: more brazilian teams can follow the paiN's way!

2013-06-23 17:59

Taco, i think the main problem is the lack of websites covering the game. TeamPlay is dead. We had 2 tournaments going unnoticed... 2 tournaments in 3 weeks with decent prize money. TD is in charge of another one for next month.. 1.5k BRL cash. There is also a lan tournament in the next few months. We try but we really can't do everything. Someone have to inform the fucking community. Look at Europe there are a plenty of tournaments going in and all we heard is about DreamHack or some big lan tournament...The community simply doesn't know a thing... so they keep waiting for the return of 1.6.

2013-06-24 01:17

And the lack of coverage is because of the lack of interest from gamers in general. Most brazillian FPS players probably don't even know that CSGO exists, and those who do can't accept that 1.6 is over (plus they get 1.6 free through piracy). Look at the number of people watching popular streamers like gordox when he casts CSGO matches, its always so few, and you look at the chat on twitch.tv you get some people asking "Which game is this? Is it a new Call of Duty?". The same thing happens on popular game vlogs on youtube. Two or three months ago I found out Leetway, and noticed it had 2 brazillian servers, 128 tickrate, low ping, that was so awesome. I tried to start PUGs there until the servers were shut down because simply there weren't people playing. I tried inviting people I met on community servers, they didn't show much interest, and frankly, sometimes is hard to find even a mix where no one bails out before the 10th round, most people just want to play 4fun. Maybe after Valve implements brazillian servers on MM things will change, lets wait and see.

2013-06-24 06:10

I agree with you in almost every point but i still think its the other way around. At razer cup for instance, the game between pA vs Pain reached 18k ppl.. Not bad imo. Coverage is fundamental, even if its just to state to the community that the game is not dead (yet).

2013-06-24 08:32

1.6 will never return to international tournaments, anyone waiting for that will be sorely disappointed to their grave

2013-06-25 10:58

How do you play esports when you barely have money to eat and pay your rent?

2013-06-23 17:57

By the same way you come here and talk shit.

Why there's no esports scene on our country, genius?

2013-06-23 18:03

gl cogu

2013-06-23 18:04

1.6 more popular in Brazil

2013-06-23 18:23

WE ALWAYS HAD BELIEVE IN YOU COGU ! cs 1.6 is alive ~

2013-06-23 19:10

go4LoL! :) like bit is doing.

2013-06-23 20:07

LOL where's cogu ?

2013-06-23 21:38

is that cogu who was good in 2006 or smth, and now he hasnt really achieved anything for years? dont care, he wont find any success in the near future. Brazilian teams are terribad nowadays

2013-06-23 22:14

There are no brazilian teams actually. GO scene is barely inexistent in Brazil.

barely inexistant means the exact opposite of what you probably wanted to say..

2013-06-25 14:37

Yeah, you're right, in portuguese we say this 'barely INexistent'. In english it would be barely existent.

2013-06-26 02:40

Nope, that would actually be wrong in portuguese as well lol

2013-06-29 00:39

I mean, in BRAZILIAN portuguese

2013-06-29 02:13

CS: GO is very fallen here in Brazil yet. To grow the community I think sites like TeamPlay should publicize these tournaments would not be too absurd to ask for HLTV.org disclose, when you championships here in Brazil such as: ESEA, BatalhaGamer etc., these sites disclose, also convey these games stream, as professional players FalleN, bit1, galley TeamTD etc., make streams on CS: GO, Gordox made direct stream of CS: GO and also stopped. If these people who are making those streams quite known for sure will give a busy largest in the scenario. And you guys do the weekly BoltCamps too, just make a well organized camp that everybody will get to enjoy and participate. That's what I think.

2013-06-24 16:16

oh noo not cogu... he was my favourite player :( i followed him since 1.6 and now he is gone :(( the scene in brazil is very poor there are only a few who can present brazil in csgo and one of them was definetly COGU :( i hope thst he will not retire for a long time and will get an offer soon :/ i really liked this player how he played in 1.6 and still in csgo.

2013-06-24 17:26

1.6 <3

2013-06-25 14:09

Wooooow,i dont get this,we have the ESEA League with a lot of brazilians teams,we have Liga BEL with 32 teams with prize,with the BGL League with game streaming every thursday i think,why u guys keep saying CS:GO community is dead??Srsly,WHY??Am i dumb or what?? ligabel.com.br/ Just look at this website.Really,the cs:go comp scene is really dead in brazil???
