Heading into the Rainbow Six Major this weekend, multiple storylines were in place. Accordingly, following the last event, there were questions over which region sits on top. However, in this Six Charlotte Major recap, we’ll dive into the event and describe how DarkZero took it for NA!
So, who are DarkZero? Accordingly, competing in North America since the beginning, they’ve never found success internationally. Heading into this event, they were definitely not favourites at all for this event.
Yet, somehow, the following final standings came forward:
Starting in Group C, DarkZero kicked off well with a 2-3-1 score, earning the top spot in the Group. Within the Playoffs, the team fought through the following games:
DarkZero vs Team oNe eSports (2-1)
Team Liquid vs DarkZero (1-2)
As you can see, DarkZero took down two of the top teams in Brazil – the region which dominated last year. However, following Six Invitational 2022, with TSM reigning, North America has come back.
And they proved this further in the Final. Accordingly, in an epic match against Astralis which went to the final map, DarkZero took it 3-2 from the European champions.
Indeed, since the 16th May, the R6S Major Charlotte has kicked off. Accordingly, inviting the best teams from all across the world to compete for $500,000, the event has been exciting! However, a change is being implemented – read on to learn more below!
R6S Major Charlotte Update – Community Discussing
Day 3 of the #SixMajor Charlotte is here! We're about to find out who'll make it to the Playoffs!
Anyways, heading into this event, Ubisoft made accomodations for teams who couldn’t make it to the event.
Specifically, the likes of w7m, Team oNe and FURIA from Mexico couldn’t travel to the Charlotte venue in USA. Indeed, these teams would be allowed to play from Mexico City connected via South Central U.S online servers.
Accordingly, today the following announcement, via caster Blue has been made:
All games from this point forward, regardless of where the teams are located, are going to be played on the LAN build. The decision was made in the interest of competitive integrity.
After a tense wait, we finally have our next international Major for R6S! Indeed, this looks to be a historical event for the competitive scene, bringing back live crowd for the first time in 2 years. Read on as we provide all of the viewership details you need to enjoy this event below!

Over the past month, regional Rainbow Six Siege competition has been taking place. Accordingly, teams have been fighting for a spot at the upcoming Major! In this article we’ll focus on the North American region – read on for your own R6S NAL 2022 Stage 1 recap!
Kicking off at the end of March, the $50,000 on the line was not the main prize. No, for the 10 teams involved, earning one of the top 4 spots to head to the Major were more precious.
Competing in a single round robin league format, the following are the conclusive standings:
As you can see, the top 4 were simply a cut above the rest.
Namely, Astralis have turned the heads of the entire community. After not finding much success after diving into the esport back in October, the pressure was on for this historically successful organization.
Living up to their reputation, they’ll be on top of the North American region, earning the number one spot to the Six Charlotte Major later in May!
Following the Six Invitational event, the 2022 season for competitive Rainbow Six Siege is here. One of the top regions for the esport is South America. Over the coming days, we’re ready to enjoy the Copa Elite Six 2022 Stage 1. Read on for all the viewership details you need!

In terms of predictions, there’s a lot to discuss.
In the history of the continent, Brazilian teams have always risen to the top compared to the other countries.
Considering this, let’s look at the Brasileirao 2022 Stage 1 standings from March:
#1 – w7m esports
#2 – Team Liquid
#3 – Team oNe eSports
#4 – FURIA Esports

The main surprise here is the rise of w7m esports. Considering this, we’d like to favour them to win the event at this point in time.
However, it’s important to note that winning here isn’t about placing first place – but making it to the Six Major with the available four seeds for the top teams.
Otherwise, we cannot wait to see how the event goes down. Despite being online and with a smaller prize pool, there’s a tonne on the line for these teams. Accordingly, this is one of many regional competitions taking place ahead of the international Major.
Following the Six Invitational 2022, a new season of competitive Rainbow Six Siege is here. Accordingly, two of the most competitive regions are ready to kick off with the first stage of competition. Indeed, pairing them into one episode of How to Watch, feel free for all viewership details for the EU & NA Stage 1 2022 events!

And now, let’s take a look at the North American Finals 2021 from the end of last season:
#1 – Soniqs
#2 – DarkZero Esports
#3-4 – Spacestation Gaming, Oxygen Esports

Rainbow Six Esports Year 7 – Quick Change
Ever since the announcement, there was debate in the community.

Indeed, the following statement taken from above says it all:
With that in mind, we also hear loud and clear that members of the international Siege community question this choice, and we have taken the decision to move the Six Major of August 2022 to another Rainbow Six Esports region, with the exact location yet to be determined.
