One of the most prestigious events in CS:GO's calendar is the Valve-sponsored Majors, which brings together the best teams from all over the world under one roof as they fight to claim the biggest prize pool of the year.

This year, Counter Strike took its Majors to Brazil for the first time ever, by hosting the IEM Rio Major 2022 in Rio de Janeiro. CS:GO's much-anticipated visit to Brazil was whole-heartedly greeted by the Brazilian fanbase, one of the most passionate communities in Counter Strike.

Twenty-four teams initially qualified for the tournament on the basis of their performances in various Regional Major Ranking (RMR) events. After two stages of intense matchups, the tournament has finally narrowed down its contestants to the top 8 teams, who will compete in the Champions Stage of the IEM Rio Major 2022 from November 10 to 13, 2022.

They will kick off their Champions Stage run with a best-of-three quarter-finals matchup, after which the winners will proceed to meet in the semi-finals, and ultimately, the Grand Final.
