The Six Invitational 2024 was infamous for the energetic crowd as well as some of the most hype matches in Rainbow Six Siege esports. The tournament saw w7m Esports emerge as the winner after a 3-2 victory over FaZe Clan. Unfortunately for the defending champions, they are already eliminated from this year’s Six Invitational 2025.
The Major will take place in Arena Carioca 1. It is an indoor stadium in Barra da Tijuca in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With a total construction size of 38,000 square meters, this massive arena’s initial capacity was 16,000 for the Summer Olympics. The government later lowered it to 6,000 post the Olympics.
