/Tournament operator ESL will present the results of the seeding of the European RMR tournaments, which will be held from 4 to 9 October in Malta. The NaVi team, which will take part in the second IEM Road to Rio 2022, will compete for eight tickets to the Major in Rio de Janeiro along with OG, MOUZ, Team Falcons and other top teams from the open qualifiers.
The European RMR tournaments will take place from October 4th to 9th in Malta. The teams will be divided into two separate tournaments, each of which will provide eight qualifying spots for IEM Rio Major 2022.

The seeding of participants in RMR tournaments was determined according to their results in the previous major and past open qualifiers. Thus, the team with the first seed will meet in the first round with the team with the lowest seed.
