Outsiders cruise past Heroic in the IEM Rio grand finals to claim first CS:GO Major trophy

A new king of Counter-Strike has been crowned in Rio de Janiero. Outsiders won the IEM Rio Major today, dubbed the “Major of Madness” by so many, following a decisive 2-0 victory over Heroic in the grand finals.

Outsiders struck first on their own map choice of Mirage, despite Heroic keeping it close in the first half. Outsiders took control on the CT side, and the trio of fame, FL1T, and Jame combined for 70 kills on the map to propel their team to a 16-12 win. Heroic struggled to find any openings on the T side of their Overpass pick, trailing 12-3 at half-time after a punishing Outsiders CT side. Outsiders took command on the first buy round and never looked back, cruising to a 16-5 win on Overpass to clinch the Major trophy.
