Six Sweden Major 2021: NiP and Rogue Become First Playoffs
Ihor MatusThe first two days of the Six Sweden Major 2021 have come to an end. We can summarize some subtotals.
The first results appeared already in Group A and Group C. In the first quartet, Rogue showed the best results. On the second day, the team prevailed against FaZe Clan and Chiefs Esports Clan. The victories were won without overtime, which in the Rainbow Six Major tournament is quite an important indicator that is taken into account when calculating points. Thus, Rogue earned four wins and secured the playoffs. Their opponents in Group A, represented by Oxygen Esports, suffered four defeats in a row, which guaranteed them a departure from the championship. Oxygen has lost all chances of reaching the final stage. In the second game day, the team could not prevail against Chiefs Esports Club and FaZe Clan.
Results of matches in Group A:
- Oxygen Esports 2-7 Chiefs Esports Club
- FaZe Clan 5-7 Rogue
- Chiefs Esports 1-7 Rogue
- FaZe Clan 7-2 Oxygen Esports
In Group C, a similar situation happened with NiP and Invictus Gaming International. NiP's players showed a performance that surpassed what even Rogue achieved. The Brazilians have won four games without overtime, which gives them the unconditional right to advance to the playoffs. On the second game day, they fought BDS Esport and Invictus Gaming International. The latter were defeated not only in the fight against NiP, but also in the confrontation with Soniqs. This poor result ensures that IG Int can't make their way to the playoffs.

- Team One Esports 5-7 Team Vitality
- SANDBOX Gaming 7-4 DarkZero Esports
- Team Vitality 1-7 DarkZero Esports
