Six Invitational - Xbox One

Qualified Teams Xbox One

Lethal Gaming

Lethal Gaming was one of the Rainbow Six Pro League Season 3 competitor. However, the roster that managed to win the Six Invitational qualifier is completely different, only keeping KenZ and RaMz - changing the roster (to get Easily and DuckYzZ) in the team came out to be a solution for Lethal’s problems. Bringing in fresh blood let Lethal made it to the Final Qualifier of the Six Invitational where they were simply unbeatable.

Who knows, maybe in Montreal they will prove they can be the next North American powerhouse.

Lucky7 Gaming

Lucky7Gaming is an up-and-coming French squad. They have been around the Rainbow Six: Siege Pro scene playing prior on PlayStation 4, but only switch to Xbox this summer, too late to qualify for the Pro League. In the Six Invitational they will finally have a chance to play among the best and compete for real prize money.

Lucky7 performance in the Final Qualifier was stunning though. Not only they took down Supremacy in the WB semi, but later on kicked that team out of the qualifier.

Next step for Lucky7 will be the Six Invitational in Montreal, where they might be treated as an underdog.

LATAM Qualifier - Dex.UNITED
