s1mple and w0nderful⁠ became the EVPs of the last IEM Rio Major 2022

The HLTV portal has presented a list of IEM Rio Major 2022 participants who were recognized as the EVP of the championship. Recall that this award is given to players whose contribution was noted in abundance, but was not enough to get the MVP. The best player of the championship, as we remember, was Jame from the Outsiders team.

The Outsiders team became the winner of IEM Rio Major 2022 , beating Heroic in the grand final with a score of 2:0.

In total, the editors of HLTV singled out ten players who deserved to receive the EVP award of the past IEM Rio Major 2022. Among them was s1mple, the sniper of the NAVI team. In addition, representatives of the Outsiders team - FL1T and fame - received the award. Team Spirit sniper w0nderful⁠ also made the list.

List of EVPs for IEM Rio Major 2022:

• KSCERATO⁠ (FURIA)
• FL1T (Outsiders)
• ⁠fame⁠ (Outsiders)
• ⁠sh1ro⁠ (Cloud9)
• cadiaN (Heroic)
• ⁠frozen⁠ (MOUZ)
• ⁠w0nderful⁠ (Team Spirit)
• s1mple⁠ (NAVI)
• ⁠yuurih⁠ (FURIA)
• ⁠stavn⁠ (Heroic)
  

As the compilers of the rating noted, some well-known players are missing from the list, in particular ZywOo and FaZe Clan roster. This, according to them, is due to the poor results of players and teams, as well as the excellent performance of those who deserved the EVP award.

IEM Rio Major 2022 was held from October 31 to November 13 in Brazil at the Jeunesse Arena and at the Riocentro conference center. As part of the championship, 24 teams from the CIS, Europe, North and South America, and Asia competed 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.
