Cloud9, Sprout book IEM Rio CS:GO Major spots

Cloud9 and Sprout are the latest CS:GO teams from Europe Regional Major Ranking (RMR) A to qualify for the IEM Rio Major, the $1.25 million Valve-sponsored tournament that will run in Brazil from Oct. 31 to Nov. 13.

C9 did so at the expense of fellow Russian squad 1WIN, while Sprout defeated Ukrainian team B8 to secure their spot in the IEM Rio Major. C9 won the Russian derby 2-0 today thanks to impressive defensive performances on both maps, Vertigo (16-12) and Overpass (16-13), and thanks to Sergey “Ax1Le” Rykhtorov’s fragging capability.
