This Saturday, the 15th, FaZe Clan secured the Rainbow Six Siege title at the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026. In a final contested between two Brazilian teams, the organization overcame FURIA by 3 to 1, granting Brazil a trophy that was missing from its competitive collection in the game.
In addition to the main prize, FaZe received a prize of US$ 750 thousand, equivalent to almost R$ 4 million. This victory also secured the team a direct spot in the Six Invitational 2027, the main international tournament for Rainbow Six Siege, which will be held in Brazil.
FURIA, which finished as runner-up, received US$ 350 thousand, an amount slightly over R$ 1.5 million.
FaZe started the series with an advantage, winning the first two maps. On Banco, the team achieved a 7 to 3 victory. Subsequently, on Fronteira map, FaZe increased its lead with a score of 7 to 5.
FURIA managed to reverse the situation in the third match, on the Fortaleza map. The game went into overtime, ending with a FURIA victory of 8 to 6, which kept the team alive in the final.
However, FURIA's reaction was interrupted in the subsequent map. On Covil, FaZe prevailed 7 to 5, sealing the series with a final score of 3 to 1 and winning the EWC 2026 title.
After the victory, KDS highlighted the importance of this trophy for the current FaZe roster, stating: 'It's crazy. This title is very special because with it we win everything. It's the best feeling possible.' The player also mentioned other major international achievements of the team, such as a Major and two consecutive Six Invitational titles.
This achievement holds great significance by filling a gap in Brazilian Rainbow Six Siege history. Although the country had already accumulated titles in important international competitions in the discipline, the Rainbow Six tournament at the Esports World Cup was what was missing.
The 2026 campaign ended ideally for the national scene, with two Brazilian organizations competing for the title. FaZe, which entered the tournament as a world champion twice, reached the top, while FURIA secured second place.
FaZe and FURIA were not the only national representatives in the competition held in Paris. Team Liquid Alienware also reached the playoffs but was eliminated by FaZe itself in the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, LOS failed to advance beyond the group stage.
The Brazilian presence extended to foreign organizations that reached the semifinals, such as DarkZero and Geekay Esports, which had Brazilian members in their rosters or technical staff.
In the third-place match, also held on Saturday, DarkZero defeated Geekay 2 to 1, completing the podium. The two Brazilian teams earned over US$ 1 million in prizes just from the top two placements.
In addition to the prize money, FaZe secured a direct spot in the Six Invitational 2027. This event will be crucial for the national scene as it will take place in Brazil, offering the current EWC champion a chance to compete for another major title in front of the local crowd.
After participating in the Esports World Cup, the Brazilian teams will focus their attention on the regional calendar. The next challenge will be Stage 2 of the South America League (SAL), scheduled for September. This competition is also internationally relevant as it will distribute spots for the Osaka Major, scheduled for November.
With FaZe's title and FURIA's runner-up position in Paris, Brazil concludes the Rainbow Six EWC 2026, once again demonstrating its strength in the discipline, this time with the trophy it was missing.
Brazil has secured a significant participation in the Rainbow Six Siege tournament semifinals at the Esports World Cup 2026. Among the four teams qualified for the title fight are FURIA and FaZe Clan, along with two other teams that also have Brazilian members in their rosters.
The semifinals matches will take place this Friday, the 14th, in Paris, France. The match between FURIA and DarkZero is scheduled for 11 am, while FaZe Clan will face Geekay Esports at 2 pm.
If both Brazilian organizations manage to win, the competition could culminate in a final composed exclusively of national teams.
FURIA secured its spot in the semifinals by winning the Wildcard phase 2-0 in the quarterfinals. Initially, the team gained a lead of 7-2 on the Consulate map and sealed the victory in a tighter duel on Fortaleza, closing the score at 8-7.
Meanwhile, FaZe Clan had to overcome another Brazilian representative. In their match against Team Liquid Alienware, FaZe won 2-1. The series started with FaZe imposing a 7-0 score on Fortaleza, but Liquid managed to react with a 7-1 on Covil. On the decisive map, Fronteira, FaZe secured its qualification with a score of 7-2.
With this, the semifinals have been defined, and this Friday's (14th) confrontations keep alive the possibility of a historic decision for the Brazilian Rainbow Six scene. If FURIA and FaZe win, they will face each other in the grand final of the Esports World Cup 2026, which would guarantee the title of the competition to the country.
FaZe enters the semifinals as the current world champion twice in a row of Rainbow Six Siege and also the champion of the South America League, competing with a team entirely composed of Brazilians. FURIA also has a 100% national lineup and seeks to conquer an unprecedented world title for the organization in this discipline.
Even if neither FURIA nor FaZe advances, Brazil will remain represented in the final. This is because DarkZero and Geekay Esports also have Brazilian players in their squads. In DarkZero, Kyno is part of the player roster, and TchubZ acts as a coach. Geekay, on the other hand, has AsK, who performs the role of In-game Leader (IGL), being responsible for certain tactical decisions during the matches.
Thus, regardless of the semifinal results, at least one Brazilian will be among the champions of the 2026 edition. The national history in the tournament already has precedents; in the previous edition, Team Secret was crowned champion under the guidance of the Brazilian coach Twister.
In addition to the trophy, the winner of Rainbow Six Siege at the Esports World Cup will receive a prize of US$ 750 thousand, which is equivalent to approximately R$ 4 million. Teams that advance from the semifinals will proceed to the final, while the losers will compete for third place. Both final matches will take place on Saturday, the 15th.
The Esports World Cup, created in 2024, brings together organizations from various parts of the globe in varied competitions. The 2026 edition will be held in Paris and will run until August 23rd. The broadcasts of the Rainbow Six Siege matches will be available on the official Ubisoft channels.
