The clash of the Six Invitational 2025 champions and the Esports World Cup 2025 winners concludes an amazing Rainbow Six Siege X tournament.
Representatives of three big R6 esports regions made it to the final part of Six Invitational 2026. FaZe and Team Secret reached the grand final to make it a battle between Brazil and Europe.
Both finalists carry an impressive legacy in Rainbow Six Siege. FaZe Clan won Six Invitational 2025, and they were in the top 3 at BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025. Team Secret won the R6 Esports World Cup 2025 (EWC 2025).
The path to the grand final was tough but exciting. Some of the biggest favorites were defeated on the way.

FaZe Clan 2:0 Team Secret — Live score from the Six Invitational 2026 grand final
Secret players had a lower-bracket run, and theoretically, they are more pumped for the Six Invitational 2026 grand final. At the same time, FaZe Clan have an emotional advantage of the upper bracket wins. The best-of-five (Bo5) grand final determines the tournament winners.
R6 FaZe Clan: Mighty in the groups, strong in the Playoffs
Even being the upper-bracket winners doesn’t make FaZe Clan invulnerable at Six Invitational 2026. Their run was successful but not flawless.
- FaZe were #1 in their group. They defeated the top North American opponents, Shopify Rebellion, who were second in the Regional Finals 2025. Still, FaZe lost to G2 Esports.
- In the Playoffs, FaZe had three matches, and they won all of them. These were battles against the three biggest R6 esports regions: Fluxo W7M from FaZe’s home, Brazil, Wildcard from North America, and Team Falcons from Europe. The final-bracket run brought lost maps to FaZe, but the team also had some dominant games, such as a 7:0 against Falcons on Lair.
Team Secret: A loss and revenge
In the Group Stage of Six Invitational 2026, Team Secret lost no matches. Their playoff run had a disturbing start, which required a brilliant recovery.
- Rainbow Six Siege X Team Secret lost to the EML Regional Finals 2025 winners, Team Falcons, in the upper quarterfinal. The revenge happened in the lower final — Secret beat Falcons to secure their Six Invitational 2026 grand final spot.
- Other playoff opponents that fell victim to Secret are G2 Esports, Weibo Gaming, Wildcard, and Fluxo W7M. This run certainly created a nice competitive momentum.
Team Falcons: Heartbreaking in front of the home crowd
The roster of R6 Team Falcons has been built with French players, and Six Invitational 2026 happened in Paris. Still, with the emotional support from the crowd, Falcons could not reach the grand final.
- Team Falcons still defeated Shopify Rebellion and Team Secret.
- Then, Falcons lost to FaZe in the upper final and were eliminated by Secret in the lower final.
North American teams to take a step backward
There were high expectations from NA teams after the brilliant win of M80 at the R6 Major 2025 in Munich. The Playoffs did not go too well for the North American participants.
- M80 lost to Spacestation and G2 Esports in two playoff matches.
- Oxygen Esports managed to defeat Team Heretics but lost to Fluxo W7M.
- Shopify Rebellion enjoyed one win, over Ninjas in Pyjamas, but they lost to fellow NAL players from Spacesation Gaming.
- The NAL Regional Finals 2025 winners, Spacestation Gaming, sent M80 to the lower brackets, but then, they lost to Wildcard and were eliminated by Fluxo W7M.
- Wildcard reached the furthest among all NA teams. After a perfect run in the Groups, Wildcard played in the upper semifinal at Six Invitational 2026, but they lost to FaZe and were eliminated by Secret.
Europe: On the shoulders of Secret and Falcons
Apart from Team Secret and Falcons, the European R6 esports teams couldn’t properly reflect the competitive level of their region.
- G2 Esports struggled in the groups, and they were out after only two matches in the Playoffs.
- Team Heretics entered the Playoffs to lose to matches and get eliminated.
South America sent Brazilian powerhouses, and most of them did well
After FURIA won RE:LO:AD 2025, Brazilian Rainbow Six Siege X teams couldn’t prove their usual favorites status at the international events. Most of them did well at Six Invitational 2026, though.
- Fluxo W7M reached the lower semifinal, and they had a real chance for a comeback on map 2 against Secret.
- FURIA had a decent run, but they lost to Falcons in the upper semi and to Fluxo W7M in the lower quarterfinal.
- Only Ninjas in Pyjamas had clear difficulties at Six Invitational 2026. They were eliminated by Shopify Rebellion in the very first match of the Playoffs.
Weibo to carry the pride of the Asia Pacific League
Three APL teams made it to the Six Invitational Playoffs. Despite being generally considered underdogs, Weibo Gaming players had a pretty great tournament.
- Weibo lost no matches in the groups, which includes wins over NiP and M80. In the Playoffs, they reached the lower round 3.
- Dplus KIA had one win in the playoff brackets. It’s not too exciting, as they defeated another APL team, Daystar.
- One match, one loss, and Daystar were out of Six Invitational 2026. They had one win in the groups: over Elevate, who also compete in APL.
The next competitive season starts soon after this Rainbow Six Siege X esports tournament. The year will be concluded with Six Invitational 2027, which will take place in Brazil.
