The first CS:GO Major in Brazil. Live audiences from start to finish. The IEM Rio Major starts October 31st, are you ready?
The IEM Rio Major is fast approaching, and you can show your support–team stickers, player autographs, and the Rio 2022 Viewer Pass are all available for purchase now! 50% of the proceeds go to the players, teams, and organizations taking part in the Major.
Viewer Pass, Stickers, and more
Pick up a Rio 2022 Viewer Pass and you’ll get an upgradable Rio 2022 Event Coin, access to the Pick’em Challenge, team graffiti, Steam.tv flair, and exclusive access to Rio 2022 Souvenir Packages.
Every time you upgrade your coin, you’ll receive a Souvenir Token that can redeemed for a Souvenir Package of the match of your choice. Souvenirs feature gold stickers of the teams and map of the match you selected.
You can earn up to three Souvenir Tokens by playing the Pick’em Challenge, but you can start with more–purchase the ‘Viewer Pass +3’ and you’ll get three Souvenir Tokens right away. And of course, you can purchase as many Souvenir Tokens as you’d like once you’ve activated your Pass.
Looking for your favorite Team or Player? Check out the Team and Player Autograph capsules, featuring paper, glitter, holo, and gold stickers.
