Two teams will lock in a spot at IEM Rio Major3 ya??ndaki k?z?n siki?itwo will be eliminated on Thursday.
The first day at the IEM Road to Rio Americas RMR has come to a close following the conclusion of the first two rounds of the Swiss format.
While most matches went the way of the favorites, the day wasn't without its surprises. 9z surprised many when they took down 00NATION and Imperial in two massive comeback efforts, while Evil Geniuses denied FURIA a chance to defend their Legends status from the last two Majors.
With day two approaching, the matchups of the third round have been set, which will see the first two teams secure a spot at the Rio Major and two teams say goodbye to the competition. Before that, four teams will play in the 1-1 pool, which will still be played in best-of-one matches.
In one of the highlight matchups of the 1-1 pool, Imperial will face 00NATION in a rematch from the IEM Cologne Play-in, where Epitacio "?TACO?" de Melo's and Marcelo "?coldzera?" David's team prevailed.
Complexity will lock horns with Liquid for a direct berth to the Major, as will 9z and Evil Geniuses. The second day of the competition will close out with Isurus and ARCTIC facing for elimination alongside TeamOne vs. Infinity.
