The organizers of IEM Rio Major 2022 will hold a show match between the national teams of Sweden and Brazil

Tournament operator ESL has announced an exhibition show match at IEM Rio Major 2022 between the national teams of Sweden and Brazil. The meeting will take place on November 13, on the final day of IEM Rio Major 2022, before the start of the grand final.

It is not yet known who will be included in Sweden and Brazil. However, given the number of world champions in each country's roster, one should expect legendary figures. We can only assume that the final teams will include some players from Imperial Esports, FURIA and 00NATION on the one hand, as well as representatives of Ninjas in Pajamas and fnatic on the other hand.

IEM Rio Major 2022 will take place from October 31 to November 13 in Brazil at the Jeunesse Arena and at the Riocentro convention center. As part of the championship, 24 teams from the CIS, Europe, North and South America, and Asia will compete for a prize fund of $1,250,000, ranking points in the BLAST Premier table, as well as tickets to BLAST Premier: World Final 2022 and IEM Katowice 2023 for the winner.
