Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup Matches and Notable Teams
Rainbow Six EWC Group A Matches
Group A is going to have some of the most interesting matchups right from the start. Team BDS will go against Team Cruelty, while Spacestation Gaming will face w7m Esports. Luminosity Gaming will return and feature in an international Siege competition facing off against Team Bliss, with PSG Talon competing against Team Liquid.
- Team BDS narrowly missed winning the recent BLAST R6 Manchester Major and is currently one of the gan-favorites that can go all the way to win the EWC tournament.
- Luminosity Gaming is making its first international Siege appearance since 2019.
- Team Liquid and w7m Esports, both strong Brazilian teams, are expected to bring fierce competition.
Rainbow Six EWC Group B Matches:
In Group B, we will see Geekay Esports making its debut against DarkZero Esports. The other matches in this group include FURIA Esports vs. Into the Breach, Bleed Esports vs. Wolves Esports, and FaZe Clan vs. SCARZ.
- Recently, FURIA Esports re-entered the Rainbow Six Siege scene by acquiring the former w7m Esports roster and has been generating significant buzz since then.
- Another top contender is FaZe Clan, which came runner-up in this year's international tournament in Sao Paulo.
- Wolves Esports will also return to international competition with EWC after missing out on the BLAST R6 Major Manchester.
Well, the event has already created a lot of buzz, especially with the elimination of C9 Beastcoast—the recent champions of the BLAST R6 Manchester Major. The teams they defeated to clinch the trophy all qualified for the Esports World Cup, creating some controversies, but setting up the stage for some tantalizing matches.
