راهنمای بیننده اصلی IEM Rio

The first Valve-sponsored event to be held outside of Europe and North America, the IEM Rio Major, gets started on Monday, October 31, and will run for two weeks before concluding with a best-of-three grand final on November 13.

The 24-team tournament will be split into three parts: the Challengers Stage, the Legends Stage, and the Champions Stage, with a live audience present for each of the different rounds. The first two portions will play out in Swiss-style group-stage formats, where three wins are needed for teams to advance to the next stage. The eight Legends status teams (see below) have a leg up in the competition, awaiting in the Legends Stage already for the eight best teams from the Challengers Stage.

The Major will then transition into a single-elimination best-of-three format for the playoffs. The winning team will take home the Major trophy, the $500,000 cash prize, as well as places at both the BLAST Premier World Final 2022 and IEM Katowice 2023 and a notch in the fourth season of Intel Grand Slam.

فاز head into the Major in Brazil as the tournament’s favourites, even in spite of the fact that the European combine fell from atop the world ranking two weeks ago. The squad around فنلاندی "کاریگان" اندرسن will be gunning to claim their second consecutive Major trophy after winning the PGL Antwerp Major back in May.

Hot on their heels are vincere natus and the newly-crowned world No. 1 team: انرژی و زنده دلی. دن "apEX" مادسلر-led roster travel to Brazil fresh off of their first-place finish in ESL Pro League Season 16, and will begin their run through the Major from the opening stage with a first-round matchup versus the home team of امپراتوری.

IEM Rio Major profile: Vitality

فوریه lead the charge for the Brazilian fans hoping to see a home team make a deep run. The South American squad currently reside within the top 10, though have missed out on playoff appearances at their past two Big Events — ESL Pro League Season 16 and IEM Cologne. Their newest recruit, رافائل "صافه" رگه, put up a monstrous 1.48 rating throughout their fifth-place Regional Major Ranking run and will be a key component in فوریه‘s plans should his good form continue.

Another team likely to evoke the roar of the Brazilian crowd is امپراتوری. The legendary roster with جبرئيل "افتادن" شهر تولدو در راس spoke candidly about what it means to play at the Major in their home country, with فرناندو "فر" آلوارنگا حتی being open about his desire to potentially retire prior to the RMR. The Brazilian quintet can be predicted to have a surge in motivation in front of the expectedly enigmatic Brazilian audience, as the side looks to repeat their surprisingly strong form seen back at the PGL Antwerp Major.

There are also considerable absences from the $1,250,000 competition, namely in the form of G2 و Astralis, who were both unable to traverse the Europe RMR.

Similarly, Astralis also failed in their bid to qualify for the Major, with the organisation now absent from their first ever Major since its creation in 2016.
