Before we fully embrace the recently and very unexpectedly announced, Counter-Strike 2, we can still have a lot more fun to be had with the original CS: Global Offensive. As one of the more important competitions on the CS:GO scene, the IEM heads back to Rio after a massive success in Katowice this in February, and brings us something to look forward to – IEM Brazil 2023!
The upcoming tournament is to be held in Rio de Janeiro’s Jeunesse Arena, which, being one of the world's biggest venues of this type, can welcome more than 18,000 visitors. CS:GO enthusiasts among you will recognize it as a place of the last IEM Brazil, from the November of 2022.
It is safe to assume that the 16 competing esports teams will have all the morale boost they need to push for the $250,000 prize pool once the hall starts echoing with the cheers of their fans. We can’t wait to hear it.
Speaking of teams and the lineup, the IEM Brazil will open up with two matches being played at the same time.
So pick between watching Virtus Pro vs. Ninjas In Pyjamas or keeping up with the IHC Esports vs. Natus Vincere, both played on the tournament's first day.
If that’s not enough excitement for you, we’ve got something to spice things up a bit.

If previous experiences are anything to go by, we’re in for a spectacle. Considering the countless memorable moments and heightened emotions at the previous IEM at Jeunesse Arena, we expect nothing less from the fans this time around. Back in 2022, all of the IEM’s tickets were sold out only three hours after being made available for purchase. It’s safe to say that Brazil certainly has an interest in this type of competition, and we can’t wait for the sound of the first shot.
