The Rainbow Six Siege eSports World Cup qualifiers have now concluded and all the contenders have entered the lineup. While the decks represent the best Rainbow Six teams in the world, some of the expected competitors did not make the cut. Now that the board is set, players and fans are gearing up for the $2 million event that will take place from July 31 to August 4.

So far, the eSports World Cup has been a successful sprint. On the opening day of the event, we saw the Warzone tournament come to a close, followed by T1’s big win over TES in the League of Legends category. Now, we’re getting ready to watch the Rainbow Six Siege portion of the event unfold, which by the numbers alone is one of the most valuable categories in the entire showcase, with a $2 million prize pool.
Before Rainbow Six, there will be seven games taking the stage, covering everything from Apex Legends to PUBG Mobile. There are definitely some serious decks lined up.
Here are all the teams that qualified for the Rainbow Six Siege section of the eSports World Cup:
- Paje Clan -Br
- w7m esports -Br
- Team Liquid -Br
- rage -Br
- Dark Zero – that
- brightness – that
- space station – that
- Team BDS – European Union
- Wolves eSports – European Union
- By infringement – European Union
- Team Brutality – Latin America
- Bleed Esports – Asia Pacific
- PSG Talon – Asia Pacific
- Scars – Asia Pacific
- Team Bliss – Oceania
- Kikikei – Mena
Expectations were high for C9 Beastcoast to make it to the Esports World Cup, especially since the team was on a roll after winning the BLAST R6 Manchester Major in May. Unfortunately, the team failed to qualify.
Going forward, it is expected that FaZe Clan or Team BDS will lift the trophy. Both teams have been performing well recently and have a good chance of winning big at the eSports World Cup.
