Who will advance to the Grand Final of IEM Rio Major 2022?

Add as a Preferred Source

The semi-final matches of IEM Rio Major 2022 will take place today. In addition, a little more than a day remains before the start of the main match of the entire 2022 year in CS:GO . In the meantime, this is far from it, we propose to look at the pairs of the 1/2 finals and estimate the chances of each of the teams. And who knows, maybe we will see a couple more sensations.

Outsiders — MOUZ

Outsiders and MOUZ will meet in the first semi-final of the tournament. It's impossible to pick a favorite here. Firstly, both teams enjoy the support of the audience. And if the audience chants "JAME TIME" at the Outsiders matches, then the cheating support of the "mouse" became known from the match with Cloud9.

It is interesting that the teams managed to play two meetings within IEM Rio Major 2022. In the first case, back at the Challengers stage, MOUZ defeated the opponent on the Inferno map with a score of 16:6. However, then the Outsiders got together and went to the “legends” to take revenge on the “mice” there and take revenge with a score of 2:0.

In general, we have before us two equivalent teams, each of which will qualify for a ticket to the grand final. However, Outsiders seems to be slightly preferable, thanks in large part to better stats in BO3 against MOUZ. And if the support of the stands leaves the “mice”, then it is Jame who will lead his team to the grand final.

Heroic - FURIA

Heroic and FURIA will meet in the second semi-final. Perhaps, there is not much point in looking for a "favorite" among the local public, since today the Danes will be buried no less than NAVI the day before. And in the 1/4 finals, Heroic was cheered for the most part because of the negative attitude towards Team Spirit. And today cadiaN will be able to dance in front of the stands only if he arranges silence at the Jeunesse Arena.

However, the Brazilians from FURIA will come out on the other side, who managed to bury NAVI in their quarterfinals, showing a crazy mood after the lost map to Nuke. And if the team keeps pace, it will be very difficult for the opponent. And yet it seems that, to the roar of their fans, FURIA will continue the fairy tale and reach the final of the tournament.

IEM Rio Major 2022 takes 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 are fighting for a total prize pool 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.
