The BLAST R6 Regional Leagues have delivered a spectacle of skill and strategy in the world of Rainbow Six Siege.

As the LATAM League and the Brazil League LCQ come to a conclusion, two teams have emerged victorious, thus earning their coveted tickets to the upcoming BLAST R6 Manchester Major.

LATAM League

The BLAST R6 LATAM League showcased fierce competition as twelve elite teams battled for supremacy. The League was divided into two groups of six, LATAM North and LATAM South.

In LATAM North, Team Cruelty asserted their dominance. Clinching the top spot with an impressive record of 8 wins and 2 losses. Despite a neck-and-neck performance, Six Karma closely trailed behind, ultimately conceding the top position to Cruelty based on round difference. The playoff picture in the North group was completed by REVEN ECLUB and NXT Player, with both teams securing their spots with 5 wins and 5 losses each.

Meanwhile, in LATAM South, Vasco eSports and Knights emerged as frontrunners. With each team boasting a commendable record of 8 wins and 2 losses. However, it was Vasco eSports who claimed the top seed, edging out Knights based on round difference. ALPHA Team followed closely in third place with 6 wins and 4 losses. While Maycam Evolve secured the final playoff berth with 5 wins and 5 losses.

As the playoffs unfolded, Team Cruelty, earned a direct bye to the Upper Bracket Semi-finals due to their stellar regular-season performance. They powered through their matches against Knights, Six Karma, and Vasco eSports without dropping a single map. Ultimately emerging victorious as the champions of the LATAM League.

This remarkable feat not only solidified their dominance within the region but also secured their qualification for the prestigious BLAST R6 Manchester Major.

Brazil LCQ

The Brazil League LCQ unfolded as a battleground of determination and grit. With eight formidable teams vying for a coveted spot in the Manchester Major.

Amidst the high stakes of single-elimination knockout brackets, Team Liquid emerged as the triumphant victors, showcasing their prowess and resilience in a series of intense showdowns.

From the outset, Team Liquid asserted their dominance with a commanding performance against MIBR. In the semifinals, Team Liquid faced a formidable challenge in w7m. But undeterred by the fierce opposition, Team Liquid rose to the occasion, displaying unwavering resolve and securing a hard-fought victory to advance to the Grand Final.

Team Liquid faced Fluxo in the grand final. Both teams showcased exceptional skill and tenacity. However, it was Team Liquid that ultimately prevailed, as they emerged victorious 2-0 after another hard-fought battle, clinching the win and securing their qualification for the prestigious BLAST R6 Manchester Major.

With Team Cruelty and Team Liquid emerging victorious from the BLAST R6 LATAM League and the Brazil League LCQ respectively, the stage is nearly set for the highly anticipated BLAST R6 Manchester Major. As anticipation builds for the Major, all eyes turn to the final qualification spot from the Europe LCQ, eagerly awaiting the last team to complete the roster for what promises to be an electrifying tournament in Manchester.
