The “R6S” World Six Invitational 2024 has been completed
The grand final match of “Invitational 2024” is W7M vs. FaZe Clan. Both teams were from host country Brazil, and the battle took place at the 10,200-capacity Estadio Ginacio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo.
The format for the Grand Final is BO5. In the first map, 'Oregon', FaZe, which had progressed smoothly through the top bracket, almost beat W7M 7-1, creating a buzz on the field. However, the direction cannot be determined after just one map. In the second map, “The Bank,” W7M increased its lead with its attack and won 5-7. The game restarts.
In the third map, “Skyscraper”, W7M gained the winning advantage in defense with scores of 0-5 and 1-5, but FaZe mounted a dramatic counterattack after changing attack and defence. He has won a total of seven straight bouts, displaying a performance worthy of a grand final.
FaZe had a chance to win, but on the fourth map, “Borderland,” W7M increased their lead again and won 4-7.
Great 6-1 comeback
With the map score at 2-2, we headed to the fateful final map of the Invitational, “Nighthaven Lab.” The match was expected to remain heated, but defending team FaZe performed well in the first half and took a surprise 5-1 lead. He also succeeded in overcoming the first attack with a score of 6-1. He earned his last match point of the tournament. FaZe needs just one more round to win the tournament.
However, this is where the drama began. Although the W7M was unable to drop another round, it remained calm and mastered accurate shooting. In the eighth round, we managed to protect ourselves from a 2v2 situation, and HerdsZ and Kheyze showed great skill in maneuvering and shooting, making the score 6-4. Moreover, they were able to win by a 3-on-2 margin and succeeded in sending the match to overtime.
In the 13th round, HerdsZ won 1v1, 6-7. In the 14th round, W7M fought back and forth with vertical fire, but succeeded in going underground, resulting in a round score of 6-8. With a map score of 2-3, W7M set an unprecedented record of winning all the world championships in 2023.
W7M's “Last Dance”, an unforgettable event full of drama
First invitation in Brazil
The Grand Finals marked a new history for Siege eSports, but this tournament was full of drama.
First of all, the fact that the convocation was held in Brazil itself attracted a lot of attention. With the exception of the COVID-19 pandemic, all previous convocations have been held exclusively in Montreal, Canada. Looking back even further, the last Tier S World Championship held in Brazil was the Season 8 Finals in 2018.
The 2024 Invitational was a long-awaited tournament for fans of Brazilian Siege. More than 9,000 people from the huge Brazilian community gathered in the square. They enthusiastically cheered for the local Brazilian team.
A new record for viewers, watched by 520 thousand people
Although the grand final also featured a confrontation with Brazil, the excitement reached an unprecedented level. The number of stream viewers also reached an all-time high. Although this is not an official Ubisoft record, it is a tracking site.eSports ChartsThen we confirmed the largest number of people in Siege eSports history, 521,323 people. Japanese Siege fans who watched the match despite the half-day time difference with Brazil were also able to witness this precious moment.
W7M's complete domination of the 2023 Grand Slam tournament is an achievement, but the singles tournament kill record has also been broken. Together, HerdsZ and Kheyze of W7M racked up 336 kills. They made history with the team.
A strange confrontation occurred between the brothers
Moreover, there is drama out of the game this time. W7M's Nade and FaZe's Handyy, who participated in the match, are twin brothers. They both became professional Siege players, playing on a team called Kids Team early in their careers. For an unknown reason, the Twins will compete for the title of world champion at the 2024 Invitational.
Although the winner was Nadi, it was impossible to watch the brothers hug each other after the match without crying.
The W7M list will be reorganized
Speaking of tears, just before the tournament started, the W7M official made a sad decision. W7M is a two-time major champion and invitational champion, but this list of the strongest in the world will be disbanded at the end of this tournament.
Between the player and the teamNo agreement was reached for next seasonthis is the reason. W7M themselves will remain in the Siege universe, but they will likely sign new members and start in 2024. It is unclear if we will see current players competing again.
W7M officials described this tournament as the “last dance” of bullfighting. They danced perfectly to the end on the best stage surrounded by Brazilian fans. The Invitational Grand Final was perfect to end the year in Siege eSports.

The battle moves to the 2024 season
In 2023, Brazilian teams led by W7M dominated the world of Siege in terms of results and drama. However, after a short hiatus, Siege eSports will continue with the 2024 season starting in March.
The 2024 Six Major will be held in Manchester, England, in the spring. The fall event will be held in Montreal, Canada, where the Siege development studio is located. The 2025 Invitational will be held on the East Coast of the United States.
Some information about the 2025 season has already been announced. Invitational 2026 will be held in France, where Ubisoft is headquartered.
It has been revealed that the number of places allocated to the Japanese national team to participate in major tournaments will be reduced to two. The detailed schedule, including the teams participating in the league, will likely be announced in the future.
It was the year that Brazil became the main figure in the blockade world, but Asian countries including Japan were still unable to reach the world title. However, as long as the opportunities are available, you have the right to keep trying. Let's start 2024 again, aiming for the world title, not only the pro team but also the local Siege fans who have been running together until now.
