Americas RMR: FURIA win Brazilian derby to book ticket to IEM Rio Major
FURIA are the first Brazilian team through IEM Rio Major in the Americas Regional Major Ranking (RMR). The squad led by Andrei “arT” Piovezan defeated their fellow Brazilian rivals of paiN Gaming 2-0 today to secure a spot in the Challengers Stage of the first Valve-sponsored CS:GO event held in Brazil.
The teams met in the 2-1 pool of the Swiss system and although paiN had been impressing in the past months while FURIA showed some signs of struggle to keep playing with their known aggressive style, paiN saw FURIA dominate most part of the series, especially in the first map Nuke (16-8).
