Two days out from the start of the Major, ESL has released a trailer previewing some of the storylines heading into IEM Rio.

ESL has released a trailer for the IEM Rio Major, dubbed "the biggest Major of all-time", which will feature a live audience across all three stages and include an outdoor fan festival with Alexandre "⁠gAuLeS⁠" Chiqueta.

The video builds anticipation for some of the storylines in Brazil, including FaZe's chance to win the Intel Grand Slam and back-to-back Major titles, as well as of Natus Vincere hoping to grab a trophy in what may well be one of their final showings with Viktor "⁠sdy⁠" Orudzhev.

While some of the storylines were covered in-depth for the title contending teams, there was little time to delve into the narratives surrounding some of the smaller names and dark horses heading into the tournament.

Fortunately, you can find team profiles of every team that is attending the Major here on HLTV.org, including three more that will be released before the start of the Major on Monday.
