The Intel Extreme Masters Season XVII – Rio Major 2022, also known as IEM Rio Major 2022 or Rio 2022, is the ongoing eighteenth Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major Championship. It is being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between October 31 and November 13, 2022.

Background

The Major was originally scheduled to take place from May 11 to May 24, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Valve and ESL postponed the Major to November.[1] Because Valve generally sponsors two Majors per year, the delayed Major was to have a US$2,000,000 prize pool, making it the largest prize pool in CS:GO Major history. In September 2020, Valve and ESL announced that the Major was canceled because of continued complications from the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil.[2] In January 2021, Valve announced that PGL Major Stockholm 2021 would be the next Major instead.[3]

On September 15, 2021, ESL published the 2022 ESL Pro Tour Road Map, announcing its intention to host a major in Rio.[4] On January 25, 2022, Dexerto reported that ESL was planning to host the second major of 2022 in Rio de Janeiro.[5][unreliable source?] ESL announced the Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022, on May 24, 2022.[6][7]

The defending Major Champions were FaZe Clan, who won their first major championship at PGL Major Antwerp 2022.[8][9] They were eliminated in the Legends Stage after their loss to Bad News Eagles.[10]
