R6 NAL Stage 2 Playoffs to save the region at 2025 Munich Major

North American Rainbow Six Siege needs a stronger showing on the world stage! While qualifying for tournaments and winning locally are important, the biggest priority is for North American teams to work together and represent the region well at international events like the one in Munich.

It’s fantastic to watch competitive Rainbow Six Siege in North America, but fans are eager to see their teams succeed on the world stage. They’re especially hoping for a strong showing at the BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025. The upcoming R6 North America League 2025 Stage 2 Playoffs will determine which teams are ready to compete against top players from Europe and South America.

Okay, so the Group Stage is done and six teams are moving on to the final brackets! It’s awesome because four of those teams will actually qualify for the Munich Major. But the best part? We’re about to find out who will be crowned the North American Rainbow Six Champions – only one team can take the title, and I can’t wait to see who it is!

Matchups in the final brackets

Remember the glorious days and battle the third region fate — Tournament preview

South America is currently the strongest region in Rainbow Six esports. Brazilian teams consistently win major championships like the Six Invitational. While Europe often competes closely with them – as seen at the 2025 R6 Esports World Cup where two European teams reached the final – South America remains dominant.

In 2022, a North American team took home the championship at the Six Invitational. However, a major organization in the scene, TSM, unexpectedly left Rainbow Six esports.

beastcoast emerged victorious at the BLAST R6 Major Manchester 2024. Since then, the team was acquired by Cloud9, and the lineup has since changed. Unfortunately, the new Cloud9 team didn’t advance past the regional group stage.

Modern era

The current player lineups look very promising. Keeping track of their recent successes could be beneficial, even when considering esports bets on the R6 Siege Munich Major qualifiers.

  • Spacestation Gaming reached the top 4 at the Esports World Cup 2025. The team was in the top 8 at the Montreal 2024 Major and in the top 6 at the Six Invitational 2025.

  • DarkZero were in the top 4 at the Manchester Major 2024. Their international results dropped substantially after that.

  • Pretty surprisingly, Wildcard reached the top 4 at RE:L0:AD 2025.

Strong performances on the world stage often mean intense competition within North America. That’s what makes the Rainbow Six North American League 2025 Stage 2 Playoffs a really exciting event to follow.

North American Rainbow Six Siege teams will compete in qualifying matches from November 8th to 16th to earn a spot at the BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025.
