    IEM Brazil will run from April 17 to 23 and feature a $250,000 prize pool, tournament organizers announced.

    The event will see 16 CS:GO teams from all over the world will fly to Brazil and fight for their share of the prize pool, plus a win in the race for the Intel Grand Slam.

    A location has yet to be confirmed, but Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte reported that IEM Brazil will once again be played in Rio de Janeiro.

    ESL will hand out direct invitations to 11 CS:GO teams, while the remaining five spots will be filled with teams from North America, South America, Europe and Asia.

    European qualifiers have two slots up for grabs, while the qualifiers from other regions will offer just one. These qualifiers will run between January and February.
