8-10-2022 23:22

Complexity have an edge heading into the sixth-place decider bracket for the last Americas spot at IEM Rio.

The Swiss stage of the IEM Road to Rio Americas RMR has concluded following the last round of play. In the final 2-2 pool matches, paiN secured a landslide victory against ATK, Imperial came back from 8-15 on the opening map to beat Nouns, and Complexity defeated Isurus after three maps.

The three winning teams are set to play for the all-important sixth place on Sunday for one last IEM Rio Major spot on offer in the Americas region.

Brazil's fan favorites will have two win two consecutive series to qualify

Sunday, October 9
13:00 paiN vs. Imperial
20:00 Complexity vs. winner of paiN/Imperial

To decide who out of the 3-0 teams secures a berth in the IEM Rio Major Legends Stage and who will have to fight through the Challengers Stage, Liquid will face off against Evil Geniuses at 16:30 .

+1 we need as much brazilian players & teams at the major as possible

2022-10-09 00:57

it would be awesome to see them there, but whoever wins the bracket deserves it imagine seeing Coldzera playing against Fallen at a major in Brazil tho. that would be sick af

2022-10-09 01:54

Probably will happen when both teams are 0-2 in groups, fighting to stay alive. If by some miracle imperial beat complexity, which I have a very hard time seeing happening

2022-10-09 06:41

It's hilarious to think that if it wasn't FalleN some star players would not "exist" on the scene.

2022-10-09 04:26

Lmao bro Col is trash anyways, why would you want them to go and do a 0-3, let Fallen have this.

2022-10-09 02:35

NA scene needs all it can get rn

2022-10-09 05:29

same ! i am willing to trade in G2 and Astralis if it means that Imperial gets to go to RIo . i Cant imagine a major in the country with the two biggest F names in there!

Pretty sad that 2 of these teams won't qualify

2022-10-08 23:28

+1... we should have 8 spots to the Americas too

2022-10-09 04:49

4 is more than enough. We need a few more in EU/CIS and at least 1 more in Asia

actually is 6 for the americas, not 4 and a lot of shit teams are qualifying on the EU/CIS, so i believe they will not add spots to these

2022-10-09 19:32

I know it's 6. I'm saying they should be 4. Liquid, EG, Furia, and 9z/Complexity. More than enough

2022-10-09 20:15

GoIMP, I believe, guys. All things FalleN to did for Counter-Strike, he deserves to play last Major in Brazil.

2022-10-08 23:30

"Brazil's fan favorites will have two win two consecutive series to qualify" There is a typo here. Great article - Best of luck to Imperial. ^^ EDIT: General corrections.

2022-10-08 23:31

pain is gonna break some hearts tomorrow.

Mullet man to send imperial to retirement home

Need to go Pain... To have a chance

2022-10-08 23:37

For the good of CS, Imperial has to qualify. It will have direct impact on the the loudness of the crowd and specifically on the the number of viewers of Gaules stream (that will for sure have bigger numbers than official ESL stream).

2022-10-08 23:43

Oh shiii

GL pain GL imperial

2022-10-08 23:45

i think 8 teams should advance not 6 in Americas RMR.

+1 literally the only alive region that players in tier 1 apart from EU Cringe valve as always

2022-10-09 00:15

They didnt earn it, so why would they, americas and europe have the same number of default spots. The rest are decided by how many from each region reached legends aka top 16 last major.

2022-10-09 07:16

Rip papa fallen

2022-10-08 23:49

Because the major is in Brazil I'll cheer for Imperial, but I also want to see Complexity in the major :/

2022-10-08 23:54

sad for Fallen and fer, they won't qualify crowd will be sad

2022-10-08 23:58

id love to see imperial going to the major, but judging from this event, Pain gonna take a double stroll tomorrow

2022-10-09 00:03

nice final imperial vs complexity

2022-10-09 00:11

I like complexity but I really hope Imperial gets through

I'm NA but imperial better win! even if they lose, Fallen is without a doubt getting into the showmatch

2022-10-09 00:44

It's already confirmed iirc

2022-10-09 00:59

The odds are against us but I know they can do it. Two wins in a row should given them more self-confidence after the dismal showings in the matches against 9z and 00. Cmon Professor! The world wants you on the BR major!

Hopefully Complexity destroy Imperial/PaiN so we can watch everyones favorite NA player grim play

2022-10-09 04:04

cheering for Imperial

2022-10-09 04:12

I can see pain pull an upset.

2022-10-09 04:15

Imperial can qualify, the two matches are winnable

2022-10-09 04:53

Please GOD, we all need FalleN at this 1st time MAJOR on Brazil... He deserves this for all the work and passion he done for BR Scene since KaBuM.TD in 2014/15 until now...
