Guidelines provided by ESL for teams attending IEM Rio Major 2022
While the tournament kicked off today on schedule without any issue, ESL had provided an additional recommendation to all teams regarding 30th October, which was the official election day. It advised players "to not leave official premises and stay within the hotel and media day location as a safety precaution."
Commenting on the guidelines issued to teams and players on a Reddit thread, Senior Vice President (SVP) Game Ecosystems at ESL Ulrich Schulze said it was a fairly standard procedure. He added, "Just like any government giving travel advice to its citizens, our job as tournament organizer includes briefing the players on what to take into consideration in the place where the tournament happens, what to do and what not to do."
With all the security measures in place, IEM Rio Major 2022 is set to take place over the course of next two weeks where the next world champions of CS:GO would be crowned in front of a roaring audience.
