Teams

• Europe

  • Penta Sports
    Players: Fabian, Pengu, Goga, jNSzki, Shatte
    Penta are one of the favourites to take it all at the Invitational as they have won 2 Pro League finals this year. They also recently added Finnish superstar "Shatte" to their team, one of the strongest players in Rainbow 6 and with their new roster they will be looking like the team to beat going into the event.

  • ENCE eSports
    Players: Willkey, Kantoraketti, Bounssi, pannari, and UUNO
    ENCE are no strangers to big events like the Six Invitational as they are the only team to have qualified for every LAN event since the beginning of the Pro League, going way back to when they were GiFu in Y1S1. As they come into the Invitational after winning the previous of season of Pro League in Sao Paulo and adding a new up and coming Finnish talent to their roster, "UUNO", they will want to make it 2 in a row in Montreal.

  • Supremacy
    Players: BiBoo, ZephiR, Spark, RaFaLe, BriD
    Supremacy attended the last Six Invitational with 4/5 of their current roster, however last time they visited Canada they were playing on Xbox. After failing to qualify for any of the Pro League finals in Year 2 Supremacy will want to show the international audience what they're capable of and finish what they started a year ago.

  • Room Factory
    Players: REDGROOVE, ShepparD, Shockwave, JoyStiCK, PWN3F
    Room Factory are a relatively unknown quantity for most people as they have not even participated in Pro League throughout the course of Year 2 however in Y2S3 they managed to finish 1st in the European Challenger League and despite failing to convert in the relegations they carried their impressive form over into the Invitational qualifiers and managed to make it to the Invitational.

  • 1UP eSport
    Players: KS, ripz, Vale, PARAA, Hungry
    1UP will be representing the German community at the Invitational, and despite having a poor showing in the last season of Pro League, 1UP looked to have massively improved after their latest set of roster changes including adding a 2 time Pro League champion, "KS".

  • Team Vitality
    Players: Panix, risze, RevaN, ENEMY, Voy
    Vitality are another team who were at the last Six Invitational on Xbox, however this is a completely different lineup to the team that got destroyed by Elevate in the Grand Finals last year. Vitality recently made their way back into Pro League after dropping down to Challenger League for a season and with their new player, "Voy", they will hope to surprise in Montreal.

• North America

  • Evil Geniuses (cTm)
    Players: Canadian, Necrox, Yung, nvK, BC
    Evil Geniuses are the defending champions on PC for the Invitational and despite there being some doubts at the beginning of the year after they failed to make LAN twice, those doubts were squashed last season where they trampled their fellow NA opposition and only fell at finals to the eventual victors ENCE.

  • Counter Logic Gaming (Elevate)
    Players: Skys, LaXInG, England, Shuttle, Geoo
    Counter Logic are the reigning Xbox champions and 3/5 of the current roster were there last year when they famously 10-0d Vitality in the Grand Finals for Xbox. With a massive new org picking them up and the hunger to regain their title, CLG will be a team to keep an eye on for sure.

  • eRa Eternity
    Players: GurmyWormy, Bosco, MahMan, Kanine, Supr
    eRa have been a staple of the NA Pro League in Year 2, their most notable performance coming in Y2S2 when they came 1st in the region and qualified for the Pro League finals. They struggled to maintain that form in Y2S3 however and ended up finishing 5th-6th in NA. During the Invitational qualifiers however they began to have a resurgence, inspired by Bosco who had a dominating performance throughout.

  • Rogue
    Players: Slashug, Avian, Ecl9pse, easilyy, Bryan
    Rogue were one of the top NA teams throughout Year 2, being the only team to finish in the top 3 every single season, successfully making it to LAN twice. Longstanding captain, "KingGeorge" recently left the starting roster for personal reasons and they decided to replace him with a player who beat them last season, "easilyy" from 1nFamy.

• Latin America

  • FaZe Clan (Fontt)
    Players: gohaN, Astro, mav, HSnamuringa, and cameram4n
    FaZe are one of the best teams in the Latin American region and attended the last Six Invitational to represent them where they made it to the semi-finals, beating Euronics and falling to eventual winners Continuum. As the lineup recently got picked up by FaZe, a huge organisation, they will look to impress their new fans with a good performance at the Invitational.

  • Black Dragons
    Players: wag, pzdd, JULIO, kamikaze, and Psycho
    Black Dragons recently finished 2nd in the Y2S3 Pro League finals in their native country of Brazil, where they knocked out favourites and back-to-back champions Penta. Black Dragons were the best team in their region last season and impressed at finals and will be hoping to carry on their strong form at the Invitational.

  • Team Liquid (Mopa)
    Players: ziGueira, Nesk, Bullet1, xS3xyCake, and Yuuk
    Team Liquid are one of 'the big 3' in Latin America and have consistently shown their skill throughout Year 2, peaking in Y2S1 when they made it to the Grand Finals of Pro League losing to Penta 2-0. They are known for their hyper-aggressive style, especially "Nesk" who is well known for his runouts and aggression.

  • YeaH Gaming (Lanchonete)
    Players: Yoona Revo1Tz, SpawNsss, Fk1, and gCR
    YeaH is a mix of players from 2 LATAM Pro League teams, INTZ and paiN gaming. The 2 lineups combined at the end of Y2S3 to form a new 'superteam' who were very strong in the qualifiers and managed to secure their spot in Montreal by beating BRK in the final 3-1.

• Asia-Pacific

  • eiNs
    Players: SuzuC, ShiN, Aroer1na, Papilia, and prototype1z
    eiNs were #1 in the APAC region in Y2S3 and qualified for the Pro League finals in Sao Paulo. When they were there however they struggled as they came up against the titans Fontt in the first round and went out in a disappointing 10-2 loss. The APAC region will be hoping eiNs can represent them better this time.

  • Mindfreak
    Players: Magnet, Lusty, Kngz, RizRaz, and Acez
    Mindfreak are the 3rd team going to the Six Invitational who were there on Xbox. They qualified for the invitational after a dominant performance at the regional APAC LAN where they stomped their competitors and didn't lose a single series.
