The same city. A new location. Rio de Janeiro was confirmed as the headquarters of an international launch of CS2 last Monday (27). In a different location from the previous rounds, held at the Jeunesse Arena, the Maracanãzinho will be the stage for Global Esports Tour Rio 2024 (GET Rio 2024).
The competition will only be played in April 2024 and will have a total prize pool of more than R$970,000. The event will feature a women’s tournament with four teams and a men’s tournament with eight teams competing in Counter-Strike 2.
This will be the second time that an international lan will be played at Maracanãzinho. In 2019, the gym hosted the CBLOL final. The place is strategically located, giving the Rio population more opportunities to watch their idols.
GET Rio 2024 is the result of a partnership that began in April 2023 and will feature the International Esports Federation, Brazilian Confederation of Games and Esports and the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro.
