a brand new format 

We are delighted to introduce a new format for the BLAST R6 Majors.

Phase 1: April 24 to 27

Phase 1 will involve 16 teams from across all nine regions in the global BLAST R6 circuit. A chance for every region to showcase their strength and talent, and the opportunity for emerging regions to impress on a global platform. 

Teams from across all nine regions will be seeded and placed into four groups based on their placement and region promising exciting international matchups. This phase will be played across four days with four GSL groups taking place through a combination of Bo1 and Bo3 for elimination matches. The top two teams from each group will move forward into Phase 2 of the BLAST R6 Major Copenhagen.

Phase 2: April 29 to May 3

Phase 2 will see the introduction of a new Swiss tournament format with 16 teams, the eight surviving teams from Phase 1 and the eight teams that directly qualified from their respective regional closed leagues. The matches will be played again with a combination of Bo1 and Bo3 for elimination matches. 

Phase 3: May 5 to 7

Phase 3 will take place in front of a roaring crowd at the Forum Copenhagen across three days of world-class Rainbow Six Siege action, where eight teams will collide in Bo3 single elimination bracket for a chance to claim Major glory. 

The Grand Final will be a Bo5 match to decide the champions of the BLAST R6 Major Copenhagen.
