Outsiders | IEM Rio Major Champions

For the past two weeks, Rio de Janeiro has been the center of Counter-Strike, where 24 of the best teams in the world battled it out to become IEM Rio Major champions. In the end, only one team was left standing as Outsiders bested Heroic at Mirage and Overpass to clinch their first Major!

To celebrate the new champions, the Champion Autograph Capsule is launching today, featuring autographs from FL1T, fame, Jame, n0rb3r7, and Qikert in paper, glitter, holo, and gold.

Starting from the 2023 Paris Major, the way teams are invited to the RMR will be changed.

Previously, teams entered the RMRs by direct invitation or through a series of open qualifiers. For Paris, some teams that are not directly invited will be able to skip the open qualifiers; teams that consistently perform well in Valve and third-party events will be directly invited to a closed qualifier. There, they will compete against teams entering from an open qualifier. More information here.
