The Red Bull BC One, the most important B-Boy event in the world, has arrived in Rio for the conclusion of the global 2012 series. Red Bull BC One Rio will see 16 of the globe's leading break-dancers compete for the ultimate B-Boy prize, the title of World Champion. 

The coastal Brazilian city is the perfect venue for the final, given global B-Boy trends have been heavily influenced by Rio's capoeira and ginga style. 2012 has seen Red Bull BC One enjoy its biggest year since its creation in 2004, with over 1,000 B-Boys across the globe competing in 60 country cyphers. Six regional events narrowed down the top competitors in North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific with the first ever Red Bull BC One event also taking place in the Middle East & Africa region. 

The winners of these regional events automatically earned the chance to compete in 2012's final in Rio and take on the reigning champion, and Red Bull BC One All Star, Roxrite from San Diego, USA. These winners, DOMKey (USA), Klesio (Brazil), Lil Zoo (Morocco), Mounir (France), Shorty Force (South Korea) and Slav (Bulgaria) will take part in the round-by-round elimination battle to try and earn the title of the world's best B-Boy. 

They will be joined by 9 other finalists, who were selected by a panel of international B-Boy experts. These finalists are Arex (Colombia), Sunni (UK), Vicious Victor (USA), Kid David (USA), Junior (France), ExacT (Russia), Differ (South Korea), and Hill (Mexico). Perhaps the most exciting entrant in this year's event though is 15-year old Japanese wonder-kid Issei, who announced himself on the global stage by winning the recent R16 in Korea. 

Hip Hop DJ Skeme Richards will lay down the battle music and Brazilian rapper Dughettu will MC the night. B-Boy legends Kwikstep and CROS1 will provide one-of-a-kind commentary for hundreds of thousands of fans watching the event live stream.
