Earlier, the organizers presented eleven invited participants of the upcoming tournament. As the organizers noted, some teams, including Team Liquid, G2 Esports and Team Spirit, refused to play at the event due to scheduling difficulties.

IEM Brazil 2023 will take place April 17-23 in Brazil. Presumably, the venue for the competition will be Rio de Janeiro, where IEM Rio Major 2022 took place last year. As part of the championship, sixteen participants from the CIS, Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia will compete for a total prize pool of $250,000, as well as a ticket at IEM Cologne 2023 for the winner.
