W7m Esports cemented their legacy in Rainbow Six Siege history with their third Major championship after a stunning victory over Team BDS in the BLAST R6 Montreal Major Grand Finals.

This win marks the culmination of an incredible year for the Brazilian powerhouse, who successfully avenged their Esports World Cup loss to the European giants.

w7m Esports 3-1 Team BDS

The much-anticipated final pitted the reigning world champions Team BDS against a determined w7m Esports roster. Despite Team BDS entering as favorites, the Bulls delivered an electrifying performance over four intense maps.

Team BDS opened the series with a dominant 7-4 win on Consulate, showcasing their status as one of Siege’s finest. W7m Esports responded on their map pick, Nighthaven Labs, securing a narrow 7-5 victory to level the series.

The turning point came on Clubhouse, where W7m raced to a 6-2 lead on BDS’s map pick. Despite a thrilling European comeback to force overtime, Gabriel "volpz" Fernandes sealed the map with a clutch 1v2.

On Kafe, W7m's momentum proved unstoppable. Clutch plays by João "Dotz" Miranda and Júlio "L0BIN" Gabriel secured a dominant 7-3 win, crowning W7m champions.

The triumph in Montreal is a remarkable comeback story for w7m Esports. They faced early setbacks this year, including a loss to Team BDS in Riyadh at the Esports World Cup. This win not only redeems those defeats but also solidifies w7m's reputation as one of the most consistent and dominant teams in Rainbow Six Siege esports.

Denis "Dodez" Navas Shines as MVP

23 year old Denis "Dodez" Navas has established himself as a star, earning the MVP award for the Major. His exceptional performances throughout the tournament, including a 1.11 rating and crucial plays in the grand finals, were instrumental in w7m’s success.

With their third Major title and a roster that continues to perform at the highest level, w7m Esports has proven they are not just a powerhouse in Brazil but a global force in Siege. Their victory in Montreal serves as a testament to their resilience, skill, and unyielding determination to remain at the top of the competitive scene.
