The winner will not only earn the main cash prize of $500,000, but will also receive 4,000 BLAST Premier points and an invitation to the BLAST Premier World Final 2022, a tournament with a similar prize pool, which will be held in December 2022. The city of Rio Major 2022, as the name implies, will be Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. All players and fans will gather at the Jeunesse Arena, which can accommodate over 18,700 people.
