Imperial Esports, a Brazilian esports organization, has been announced as the replacement for Virtus.pro in the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Rio 2023 tournament. The announcement came after Virtus.pro withdrew from the tournament due to scheduling conflicts.<\/p>\n

IEM Rio 2023 is set to take place in May 2023 and will feature some of the best teams from around the world competing in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). The tournament is part of the ESL Pro Tour, which is a circuit of tournaments that lead up to the ESL Pro League Finals.<\/p>\n

Imperial Esports is a relatively new organization, having been founded in 2019. However, they have already made a name for themselves in the Brazilian esports scene, particularly in CS:GO. They have competed in several tournaments and have even won some, including the Gamers Club Masters VI and the Liga Profissional Alienware Gamers Club.<\/p>\n

The addition of Imperial Esports to IEM Rio 2023 is exciting news for Brazilian esports fans. The team will have the opportunity to compete against some of the best teams in the world on their home turf. This will not only give them valuable experience but also help to raise the profile of Brazilian esports on the international stage.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Virtus.pro’s withdrawal from IEM Rio 2023 was not due to any issues with the tournament or organizers. In fact, Virtus.pro has a long history with IEM and has competed in many of their tournaments over the years. The team simply had scheduling conflicts that prevented them from participating in IEM Rio 2023.<\/p>\n

Overall, the addition of Imperial Esports to IEM Rio 2023 is a positive development for Brazilian esports. It will give the team a chance to showcase their skills on an international stage and help to raise the profile of Brazilian esports. Fans can look forward to an exciting tournament in May 2023, with some of the best teams in the world competing for the title of IEM Rio 2023 champion.<\/p>\n
