The biggest Rainbow Six Siege tournament in history is entering its final stage!
Only eight teams are still competing for the prestigious World Championship title. After three days of fierce competition, half of the contestants have been knocked out, while the other half will continue their fight for the massive $500,000 prize pool.
The group stage was full of surprises. First and foremost, APAC teams turned out to be underrated as Mindfreak managed to upset their opponents and advance to the quarterfinals. The Australian team defeated Team Liquid. The Japanese team eiNs knocked out eRa Eternity before being beaten by ENCE eSports.
PENTA Sports, as expected, was the first team to advance to the playoffs. The only team to win three titles will now face the most recent Pro League champions, ENCE, in potentially the most exciting match of the quarterfinals. So far FaZe Clan is the most effective team in the Six Invitational, as the Brazilians dropped only two rounds in the entire group stage! In the quarterfinals they will play against the reigning world champions, Evil Geniuses.
Rogue and Black Dragons e-Sports also managed to remain undefeated by taking the first place spots in their respective groups. The former will face the surviving french team, Supremacy, while the latter is paired with Mindfreak.
