One of the first tournament series that comes to mind when Rainbow Six Siege is mentioned is the Six Major. The final tournament of the series, the Six Sweden Major 2021 is the climax of the season featuring the finest Siege teams.
This second Six Major of the season is being held in Gävle, Sweden, after initial plans to stage the event in Asia were scrapped due to the pandemic.
Sixteen teams arrived gunning for glory but, with the group stage over, only eight remain with the Six Sweden Major 2021 playoffs about to get under way. Here’s everything you need to know.
Six Sweden Major 2021 group stage results
Group A included FaZe Clan, one of the best performing teams in the tournament. FaZe, which lost only one match against Rogue with a score of 5-7, finished top with 15 points.
Things were more complicated in Group B. Although Team oNe eSports covered the first place with 4 wins, the race for the second place was quite exciting. SANDBOX Gaming's round difference was -1 while Team Vitality's was -5. SANDBOX Gaming claimed their place in the playoffs with this difference. DarkZero Esports, the last in the group, fell agonisingly short, missing out by just one win.
Looking at group C, we see two quite successful teams and two teams that fell short of expectations. Ninjas in Pyjamas, which did not leave any of their matches to overtime, took the first place in front of BDS Esport, which won against Soniqs in overtime Soniqs and Invictus Gaming Int. were the teams that threw in the towel early in the group.
Group D was also one of the groups that went into battle. All three teams in the top three won three without going into overtime, while DAMWON's one more win in overtime paved the way for them to the first place. While Spacestation Gaming lost two matches in overtime, the fact that Team Empire lost before they could make it to overtime was the factor that determined the team that made it to the playoffs.
