Here's everything you need to know to follow the second Major of 2022.
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.
FaZe 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 Finn "karrigan" Andersen will be gunning to claim their second consecutive Major trophy after winning the PGL Antwerp Major back in May.
Hot on their heels are Natus Vincere and the newly-crowned world No. 1 team: Vitality. The Dan "apEX" Madesclaire-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 Imperial.
Read more IEM Rio Major profile: Vitality FURIA 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, Rafael "saffee" Costa, put up a monstrous 1.48 rating throughout their fifth-place Regional Major Ranking run and will be a key component in FURIA's plans should his good form continue.
Another team likely to evoke the roar of the Brazilian crowd is Imperial. The legendary roster with Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo at the helm spoke candidly about what it means to play at the Major in their home country, with Fernando "fer" Alvarenga even 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.
Read more IEM Rio Major profile: Imperial Liquid pay a trip to the Legends stage of the IEM Rio Major as a now fully-fledged quintet. Mareks "YEKINDAR" Gaļinskis recently signed with the American-Dutch organisation after standing in for the squad for the best part of three months. During that time, Liquid has seen a big upswing in form, going from No. 13 on the world ranking to their current No. 3 placing, as well as securing a runners-up finish at ESL Pro League Season 16 alongside a playoff finish at IEM Cologne.
Read more Why is there no clear favorite for the Rio Major? There are also considerable absences from the $1,250,000 competition, namely in the form of G2 and Astralis, who were both unable to traverse the Europe RMR. For the Europeans, it marked their first Major missed since DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015, with world-famous players like Nikola "NiKo" Kovač and Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov set to watch the Brazilian spectacle from the sidelines. 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.
