Big trophy battles shake up the Playoffs at R6 Munich Major 2025

The world’s top Rainbow Six Siege esports teams made it to the final stages of the competition. But the Swiss Stage proved that even less-known teams can be incredibly strong, and we should expect some unexpected results.

The Rainbow Six Siege Munich Major 2025 Playoffs begin on November 12th. The top 8 teams will compete in a double-elimination bracket, and the tournament will culminate in a grand final on November 16th where the Major champions will be decided.

Getting to Munich for the Rainbow Six Siege X Major 2025 was tough – the challenging Swiss Stage eliminated some expected contenders. Now, the competition is incredibly tight. Most teams can only afford one loss, but two teams are already in a difficult position with no room for error.

Okay, so the R6 Munich Major 2025 just wrapped up, and it was a huge deal! It finished off the very first open series for the new and improved Siege X.

Clash of the regions

Just three regions qualified for the Rainbow Six Siege Playoffs. Teams from Asia-Pacific didn’t advance, despite some strong wins during the Swiss Stage. For instance, Dplus beat FURIA in the first round, and Weibo defeated NiP in the second.

North America

Two teams from the North America League (NAL) Stage 2 qualified for the final brackets in Munich.

  • M80 are the biggest discovery of this tournament. They advanced after three rounds only, defeating G2, Faze, and Spirit.

  • Wildcard lost Round 1 to Secret, but then, they defeated three other opponents. In a way, the team was lucky with these matchups: Spacestation and ENTERPRISE Esports. Wildcard also won over w7m esports, but these opponents are struggling with their performance.

Europe & MENA

The Europe & MENA League (EML) is becoming a strong competitor in Rainbow Six esports. Currently, three of its teams have qualified for the Playoffs.

  • Team Falcons won over ENTERPRISE Esports, Dplus, and w7m esports to qualify after the first three rounds in the Swiss Stage.

  • Team Secret are the R6 Esports World Cup 2025 winners. They won over Wildcard, Team BDS, and Weibo Gaming. Secret lost to M80 in the advancement match of Round 3.

  • G2 Esports took the full run in the Swiss Stage: after losing best-of-one (Bo1) matches to M80 and Team BDS. G2 still won over CAG Osaka, Dplus, and w7m esports.

South America

Brazil has recently joined the South America League (SAL), significantly strengthening esports competition in the region. However, the Munich Major 2025 Swiss Stage proved challenging for two prominent teams. Despite being past champions – including three Major wins and the Six Invitational 2024 title – w7m esports failed to advance.

  • FaZe Clan are the Six Invitational 2025 winners. They lost to M80 in Round 2, but FaZe defeated CAG Osaka, Dplus, and Team BDS.

  • Ninjas in Pyjamas started the tournament with losses to w7m esports and Weibo Gaming. NiP survived three elimination matches, defeating Spacestation, Shopify Rebellion, and Team BDS.

  • FURIA, the winners at RE:L0:AD Rio de Janeiro 2025, lost to Dplus and Shopify Rebellion in the first two rounds. They defeated CAG Osaka, ENTERPRISE Esports, and w7m esports.

State of the game

During the intense Swiss Stage of the Munich Major, several professional players voiced worries about the current condition of the game. Pro player William “Spoit” Löfstedt, for example, shared a document outlining these concerns through his X (formerly Twitter) account.

The game responded, without quoting the document, though.

Talk about ways to save progress in the game sparked a lot of conversation among players. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the updates the game developers have promised.

Okay, so the next huge Rainbow Six Siege event I’m really looking forward to is the Six Invitational 2025 – it’s happening from February 2nd to the 15th. The team that wins the Munich Major automatically gets a spot, which is awesome!
