Getting ready for the start of Six Sweden Major 2021
/The main event of the year for all Rainbow Six fans, Six Sweden Major 2021, is about to begin. The championship will take place from November 8-14 in the Swedish city of Gavle. Sixteen teams will compete for a prize pool of $ 500,000, giving fans a real treat at the Gasklockorna arena. In this regard, we propose to get acquainted with the participants of the championship, as well as the drawing of lots and approximate layouts in groups.
Group A
Participants:
- Chiefs Esports Club.
- FaZe Clan.
- Oxygen Esports.
- Rogue.
An interesting quartet with no clear favorite. At the same time, all teams without exception are unlikely to fall into the status of contenders for victory in the Six Sweden Major 2021. However, the most likely scenario unfolds around the representatives of Brazil and North America, since it is FaZe Clan and Oxygen Esports that should easily cope with their opponents, claiming reaching the playoffs. At the same time, do not forget about Rogue, since the German team recently entered the TOP-4 at the European League 2021 - Stage 3, showing themselves in all their glory against the background of other teams.
Group B
Participants:
- DarkZero Esports.
- SANDBOX Gaming.
- Team oNe eSports.
- Team Vitality.
In this quartet, everything is much more interesting at once for several reasons: 1) the winner of the Six Mexico Major 2021 - Team oNe; 2) North Americans from DarkZero will definitely have their say; 3) TOP-3 of the European League 2021 - Stage 3 - Team Vitality will act as a "dark horse". It is between these three teams that the real struggle will unfold for reaching the playoffs. At the same time, one should not write off the South Korean team, which in a single match can cause trouble for the favorites.
Group C
Participants:
- BDS Esport.
- Invictus Gaming Int..
- Ninjas in Pajamas.
- Soniqs.
The main fight in Group C will unfold between Ninjas in Pajamas and BDS Esport. If the French team finished the season well, becoming the winner of the European league, then the Brazilians are considered to be one of the contenders for the title. It is not for nothing that Ninjas in Pajamas became the winner of the Six Invitational 2021. Yes, in recent months the team's results have become much worse. But Psycho's motivation and attitude is at an outrageous level. Singaporeans, who are traditionally uncompromising in big tournaments, can also contribute. At the same time, the chances of Soniqs, given the weak performance in Mexico, should be equated to a minimum.
Group D
Participants:
- DAMWON Gaming.
- FURIA Esports.
- Spacestation Gaming.
- Team Empire.
In the last quartet, a real fight will unfold for two tickets to the playoffs. Here are three teams that claim the highest places in Six Sweden Major 2021. First of all, we should talk about the Russian team Team Empire, which a few months earlier became the second in Mexico. At the same tournament, FURIA and Spacestation Gaming flashed, reaching the quarterfinals. Well, DAMWON Gaming is traditionally considered an outsider, having not so much experience and positive moments behind it at the end of the season.
Format of the event
According to the results of the draw, 16 teams were divided into four groups, in each of which the teams will play three matches in the BO1 format. At the end of the group stage, the top two teams from each quartet will advance to the playoffs, forming the grid of the quarterfinals. All matches, with the exception of the grand final, will be played in BO3 format, while the decisive match will be played in full BO5 format.
