The upcoming Rio Major is all set to feature a showmatch between two of the most passionate regions in CS:GO - Sweden and Brazil. It is scheduled to take place on the last day of the tournament, 13th November, before the grand final clash between the two finalists.

Some of the most legendary CS:GO players will be representing the two regions and the respective lineup for the two sides are as follows:

Sweden

  1. Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer

  2. Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg

  3. Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund

  4. Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg

  5. Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell

Brazil

  1. Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David

  2. Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga

  3. Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau

  4. Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo

  5. Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo

Coincidentally, none of the players from the Swedish lineup is competing in the IEM Rio Major 2022 as part of the team. On the other hand, all the Brazilian players are still a part of the Major with some team or the other.

This will surely be an epic faceoff between two of the most stacked lineups, carrying multiple Major titles between them. Both regions getting the best possible representation at the biggest stage possible.
