Counter-Strike's first-ever Brasilian major happens this November
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and ESL have announced that the game will have its first-ever Brasilian major tournament later this year, which will also be the first to be held in South America as a whole. This one was on the cards: an ESL One major was going to happen in Rio de Janeiro in 2020, but then the coronavirus pandemic got in the way.
ESL Rio 2022(opens in new tab) qualifying will take place from October 31 2022, with the final stages taking place in the Jeunesse Arena (capacity: 15,430) over November 10-13. There's good news also for fans who'd bought a ticket to the cancelled 2020 event and didn't opt for a refund: their existing tickets are automatically still valid for the same days and categories of the tournament as whatever they originally bought.
