The Esports World Cup is unfolding at an incredible speed as the Rainbow Six: Siege X tournament keeps everyone on the edge of their seats. The event, which began just yesterday, has already seen a significant shakeup with four teams out and another four moving on to the next stage of the competition.
In today’s round, an additional four teams will fall, while four more secure their positions in the playoffs bracket. Spectators are left wondering which teams have locked in their spots and which ones are preparing for a last-minute exit from Riyadh.
Teams that have clinched a spot in the playoffs are:
- Shopify Rebellion
- Virtus.pro
- Team Secret
- Ninjas in Pyjamas
In contrast, four squads have been eliminated after losing their initial two matches. The unexpected departure of Team Falcons, composed of the same players who achieved victory with Team BDS in a previous edition, stands out among those leaving the tournament. Other teams exiting include Gen.G Esports, FearX, and Enterprise Esports.
The conclusion of the group matches is scheduled for today, paving the way for the playoff bracket. The playoffs will run from Thursday to Saturday (August 7-9), ultimately deciding a champion who will claim a prize pool of $2 million.
