Overview
Intel Extreme Masters Brazil 2027 is an in-person Counter-Strike 2 tournament scheduled for May 3–9. ESL has confirmed Brazil as its host market, with the city still to be announced. Sixteen teams will play two eight-team double-elimination groups; four teams from each group reach the arena playoffs. The published slot list uses global and regional VRS invitations and closed qualifiers, without naming the team field.[1]
The organizer lists USD 1 million in total winnings, split between USD 300,000 in player prize money and USD 700,000 in club rewards. No confirmed city, venue, or team names are available in the current event information.[1]
IEM’s current partner list identifies Intel as Presenting Partner and Acer Predator, DHL, and ZOWIE as Official Partners. AutoFull is the ESL Counter-Strike Pro Tour’s official chair partner for 2026–2027, and Qiddiya’s five-year agreement covers events across that tour.[2][3][4]
