The BLAST R6 Salt Lake City Major playoffs bracket is locked in, tightened up, and raring to go. The first matches start today, and the remaining roster of teams is absolutely stacked. For the most part, predictions can still be delivered on, with FaZe Clan and Team Falcons sitting front and centre at the top of the table, but there’s still some underdog potential in the lineup.
It’s worth pointing out that Team Falcons only just managed to secure qualification to the playoffs, of course. Eight teams were eliminated from the running in the last stage, with the likes of FURIA and CAG failing to secure a single series win and being sent packing with their heads hanging low.
BLAST R6 Salt Lake City’s Big Weekend Approaches
This weekend, eight of the best Rainbow Six Siege teams in the world will take to the stage at the Salt Palace Convention Center, fighting for the lion’s share of the $600,000 prize pool. There’s a huge $200,000 cut for the number-one squad, but out of the eight teams sitting in the wings, who will take that trophy?
Here’s the opening schedule for the playoffs:
- Twisted Minds v. Enterprise Esports – 17:00 BST
- G2 Esports v. Shopify Rebellion – 20:00 BST
- FaZe Clan v. Team Falcons – 23:15 BST
- DarkZero v. Wildcard – 02:30 BST (May 16)
There are some juicy match-ups there. Fans are locked in and looking forward to the battle between the two tournament favourites, even if Team Falcons did slip slightly coming into the qualification stages. DarkZero and Wildcard’s showdown represents a solid North American bout, too.
Remember, every match going forward is an elimination series, so there’s a lot to play for.
