Gamers Club uses Latitude.sh to offer a better experience for gamers
Founded in 2015, Gamers Club is the largest company dedicated to esports community development in Brazil, providing 128-tickrate servers and its own anti-cheat system. And when it comes to gaming, latency is a crucial factor.
The Brazilian esports company offers a superior alternative for playing and learning about games.
To transform competitive online gaming into a professionalized sport, Gamers Club is committed to developing the esports scene in Brazil. In May 2016, Gamers Club joined forces with Games Academy to help its users learn and improve their gameplay while providing the best possible competitive gaming experience.
Founded by Gabriel 'FalleN' Toledo, a professional Counter-Strike player, along with Yuri Uchiyama and Juliano Mirandolli, Gamers Club quickly became the largest esports platform in Brazil. With its rapid growth, the company’s Director of Engineering, Felipe Pregnolatto, recognized the need to find better options for hosting their servers.
During the first hours in Latitude.sh's data center, we saw a great improvement in the latency of our servers.

After experiencing recurrent problems with scalability and technical support, Gamers Club's staff started to think about the best hosting option for their services. When searching for different providers, Gamers Club chose Latitude.sh for having seen in it the solution to the problems they were facing, with the advantage that IT infrastructure costs would go down.
Moving to Latitude.sh
Latitude.sh assisted so that the migration happened easily and openly. “They helped us even before we signed the contract,” said Felipe. “While we were negotiating prices, they were checking our environment and studying the best ways to migrate our workloads.” The decision to use Latitude.sh Colocation and Custom Deployments was made, and the migration process was easy, according to Felipe.
Gamers Club continues to grow and expand its infrastructure inside MH1, Latitude.sh's privately-owned data center in São Paulo.
We work very closely with Latitude.sh's technical support team, and that's something really important to us.
