A little bit of history
Brazil has been part of the Latin America region of the official TPCi circuit for many years. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regionals, Special Events and all editions of the Latin America International Championships. Brazil’s greatest VGC successes are the top 16 finish at the 2019 World Championships and the 2 International Championship second places achieved by Gabriel Agati, as well as another International Championship second place achieved by Thiago Lattanzi.
The most recent tournament held in Brazil was the 2026 Belo Horizonte Regional, also played in the VGC Regulation Set H in October 2025. The finals saw 2021 Players Cup IV Champion Renzo Navarro defeat 2024 Curitiba Regional finalist Victor Vieira to win his fourth Regional Championship title!
The last time the Latin America International Championships were held was the 2025 edition, also hosted in São Paulo, Brazil, and played in the VGC Regulation Set H in November 2024. The finals saw then-2-time International & defending LAIC Champion Marco Silva defeat 2023 Worlds quarterfinalist Víctor Medina to win his record-breaking third International Championship title!
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
