ESL UK has announced a CSGO grand finals viewing party for IEM Rio 2022 Major (Intel Extreme Masters) will take place in London’s O2 Cineworld Greenwich this weekend.
It takes place from 3pm GMT on Sunday November 13th 2022, with the broadcast also beginning around that time, and the grand final itself getting underway at around 6pm GMT.
There are 400 tickets available as ESL invites the public and members of the esports industry to attend, with food and drink available to guests.
Cineworld O2 in Greenwich features a 400-seat 2K screen. For this event there will also be audience voting, social media competitions, on-screen games and ESL says “you might even see an influencer or two!”
“We also invite you to go crazy representing the UK scene when we stream the audience live on the main global broadcast,” ESL added.
The ticket also includes a free £8 snack and drink combo, clappers, an exclusive lanyard, Kolex packs, a limited run IEM Rio drinks mug, tote bag and couple of extra surprises, worth over £20.
The Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major features some of the world’s best CSGO esports teams. It has just reached its Champions stage, with the final eight teams now in the playoffs.
The last eight teams include Cloud9, Mouz, Fnatic, Outsiders, Heroic, Team Spirit, Navi and Furia. These will be whittled down to the final two in time for the Sunday grand final. What are Fnatic’s chances at the IEM Rio Major?
Late last month, the IEM Rio Major broadcast talent line-up and BBC documentary details were revealed.
