Format
For this event, the format is relatively simple, starting with Group Stage and ending with the Playoffs.
Kicking things off, the Group Stage involves a Single round robin for each group of five. Both groups will be determined in due time. Within these groups, all matches will be BO1 and scoring will work in the following manner:
- Win – 3 points
- Win in overtime – 2 points
- Loss in overtime – 1 point
Teams will be fighting for these points in order to try and make it to the Single Elimination Bracket. Bearing this in mind, Group Stage winners jump to the semifinals, 2-3rd place teams to the quarterfinals. Everybody else is eliminated.
At the Playoffs, the Single Elimination Bracket will consists of BO3 matches and should separate the top tier competition. Reaching the grand final involves going at it in a head-to-head BO5 epic showdown for regional dominance.

Predictions for the Copa Elite Six Stage 2
For predictions, let’s dial it back to the Six Invitational. With $3,000,000, it acted once again as the pinnacle event of the year for competitive Rainbow Six Siege. It was also here that South America, in particular Brazil, swept the floor with the other regions. Accordingly, the top 3 teams all hailed from this region – Ninjas in Pyjamas, Team Liquid and MIBR.
Heading into this regional event, it’s an incredibly tight battle between the top teams. As of right now, the top 3 teams in the Brasilian Stage 2 event are all tied at 9 wins and 32 points. Although not all the teams for the event are confirmed and the current standings are subject to change, the idea of an unclear winner is arguable.
However, if one team were to be selected as the favourite, it would naturally be Ninjas in Pyjamas after being crowned victors at the biggest event of the year, followed by Team Liquid and then FaZe Clan. Otherwise, the likes of MIBR are nowhere to be found as they haven’t been performing up to par.
