paiN Gaming has officially announced the termination of Alexandre “TitaN“ Lima’s contract, effective immediately. The decision comes hours after reports emerged that the São Paulo Civil Police have formally received multiple complaints against the League of Legends player, including allegations of sexual offences against a vulnerable person and the unauthorised distribution of intimate content.
In a brief statement posted on social media, the organisation cited its institutional principles as the primary driver for the dismissal:
“paiN Gaming hereby informs the dismissal of Alexandre ‘TitaN’ Lima from the organisation. As an institution, we base our decisions on principles and the responsibility we carry with our history, our community, and everything that paiN represents.”
The termination marks the final fall from grace for one of Brazil’s most decorated players. According to VTV News (part of Brazilian communications giant SBT), the 1st Women’s Defence Police Station (DDM) in São Paulo received formal reports from at least three women on 8 March.
The investigation, which has been simmering since January, now includes specific, grave allegations: A case involving a minor, as messages obtained by police allegedly show TitaN interacting with a 16-year-old girl, acknowledging her age before suggesting secret meetings and sending unsolicited photos in his underwear; Non-consensual sharing, as a second victim alleges TitaN shared a private sexual video of her with third parties without her consent; And allegation of sexual abuse: A third woman testified that in 2024, while unconscious due to alcohol consumption, she woke to the player touching her non-consensually.
TitaN had been suspended indefinitely by paiN Gaming since 12 January, shortly after his ex-girlfriend, influencer Gabriela “Gabzuski” Zambrozuski, first publicised the allegations. Since then, in a statement on social media in February, the player said “more than just dealing with the shame right now, I want to improve as a human being and, most importantly, improve my behaviour towards everyone, especially women.”
However, the formalisation of these reports at the DDM has shifted the case from a suspension to a contract termination. Under Brazilian law, the crimes TitaN is being charged of carry significant prison sentences, particularly when involving minors or those unable to offer consent due to intoxication.
When reached out by The Esports Radar for a statement regarding the formal police charges, TitaN responded he has “nothing to declare.” The Esports Radar also reached out to Zambrozuski, who did not provide a statement to the time of publication. This story will be updated should any new facts come to light.
