The Final Four Teams for Six Invitational 2026 Are Set

The Final Four Teams for Six Invitational 2026 Are Set

With all regional LCQs concluded, the final four teams heading to Paris for the Six Invitational 2026 have been confirmed. These squads have battled through immense regional competition to earn a shot at the most prestigious title in Rainbow Six Siege. From veteran organizations to rising underdogs, each LCQ champion carries a unique story of determination and triumph.

Europe and MENA: Project Zero

Representing Europe and MENA, Project Zero emerged as one of the biggest surprises of the region. This international lineup went on an unbeaten run, defeating heavyweights like Twisted Minds and Virtus.pro to secure their place in Paris.

During their entire LCQ campaign, Project Zero dropped only two maps, one of which went into overtime. For a Tier-2 team, such dominance against top-tier opponents is a statement-making achievement. Their journey to Paris embodies the dream of every aspiring roster fighting to make their mark on the global stage.

North America: Oxygen Esports

From North America, Oxygen Esports became the only Tier-1 team to qualify through the LCQ. Oxygen’s campaign was a masterclass in perseverance. They comfortably dispatched Karn & Co and Cloud9 before facing their greatest challenge against DarkZero.

After being sent to the lower bracket by DZ, Oxygen fought their way back, defeating Cloud9 once more and exacting revenge on DarkZero in the grand final. This comeback not only showcased their strategic depth but also reignited hopes among fans eager to see the veteran organization return to peak form at Six Invitational 2026.

South America: Black Dragons

From the passionate Brazilian scene, Black Dragons made a sensational return to international play. The team hasn’t appeared at a Six Invitational since 2018, making their qualification a historic moment. While Brazil boasts several dominant teams, Black Dragons silenced critics by defeating the favorites, Team Liquid, in the LCQ final.

This comeback also marks their first international appearance in over a year, and it’s a nostalgic moment for fans who remember their legacy in Rainbow Six Siege’s early years. With a young and talented roster, the Dragons are ready to reclaim their place among the elite.

APAC: Daystar

Rounding out the final four is Daystar, the pride of Taiwan and a rapidly rising name in the APAC region. After a breakout 2025 season that saw them place fourth overall in APAC, Daystar carried that momentum into the LCQ with dominant wins over CAG Osaka and All Gamers.

Their qualification marks another step in Asia’s growing presence in the global Siege ecosystem. With confidence and form on their side, Daystar’s debut on the SI stage promises to bring a fresh and dynamic style to Paris.

As the curtain rises on the Six Invitational 2026, these four LCQ champions carry the last hopes of their regions into Rainbow Six Siege’s grandest stage. From Tier-2 upstarts to seasoned veterans, each team has earned their ticket through grit, strategy, and unrivaled passion. Paris is set, and the competition has never looked more exciting.
