With Mouz and BIG, two Canadian teams in the "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" major IEM Rio have confidently made it to the next round. Gamerlegion missed the sensation despite a good start.

"Playing against Brazilian and Argentine teams twice in extra time with this crowd is a blatant experience," BIG newcomer Elias "s1n" Stein said in an interview after the game. "We feel and hear the fans all the time. But it doesn't have a negative impact on us, it just spurs me on even more.»

With 9z Team, BIG met a South American team on the fourth matchday, which was particularly cheered by the local audience. But the Germans responded to the fans with their own provocations, and used the second chance to get ahead after the defeat against Bad News Eagles.

Mouz was even unbeaten against Outsiders, Evil Geniuses and Fnatic, and moved on to the Legends Stage as one of the first teams. On the other hand, the team Gamerlegion, which entered the tournament as an outsider, lost the deciding game against Cloud9, and also forfeited the third chance for the next phase after two opening victories.
