NA is back? Evil Geniuses through to IEM Rio Major over 9z

Evil Geniuses overcame the South American underdogs of 9z 2-1 today in the IEM Rio Major Americas Regional Major Ranking (RMR) 2-0 pool of the Swiss system to secure a spot in the Brazilian CS:GO Major.

This is a great result not only for EG, who missed out on qualifying for the PGL Antwerp Major when Jake “Stewie2K” Yip was still leading the lineup, but also for the North American region as a whole because EG and Liquid will face each other to decide who grabs the only American Legends spot in IEM Rio Major. EG had shown some signs of life in ESL Pro League season 16 last month when they beat Eternal Fire and Movistar Riders and truly flourished in the Americas RMR.
