Predictions
When it comes to making predictions for the event, let’s consider the teams that made it through via the Global Standings.
For the past few years, it’s been the Latin American teams who have dominated competitive Rainbow Six Siege. It shows, as they stack up near the top of the standings:
- #1 – Team oNe Esports – LATAM
- #2 – Team BDS – EU
- #3 – Team Liquid – LATAM
- #4 – Ninjas in Pyjamas – LATAM
- #5 – Soniqs – NA

We could go on with the list, but we’ll stop there.
Beyond the Global Standings, the last time these teams met was at the Six Sweden Major. Here, FaZe Clan, also from LATAM, managed to rise and take the victory for the region.
Will the Six Invitational 2022 be another LATAM victory or will another region step in?
