Six Sweden Major 2021 Group Stage Statistics

The group stage of the tournament featured 16 top teams from Europe, the CIS, North America, Asia and Oceania. The teams from Brazil were the most successful: three of the four local teams topped their quartets and advanced to the playoffs.

At the same time, some teams from Europe performed worse than Rainbow Six community members expected from them. The hardest struggle was in Group B, where SANDBOX Gaming and Team Vitality scored nine points each, but it’s the Korean team that qualified for the next stage by winning the head-to-head match.

However, the biggest disappointment (especially for the CIS fans) was the performance of Team Empire. The Six Major Raleigh 2019 champions took only third place in quartet D and lost their chances for the second title in the series.
