The Canadian team G2 Esports has qualified for an international Rainbow Six event again for one year. This was achieved despite the significant 1: 7 defeat against the direct competitor in the European League, Team BDS.

"We played a lot better," said BDS player Bryan "Elemzje" Tebessi after the victory, "we were better prepared". After the disappointing performance last season, the team from Berlin signed three new top players and thus raised a lot of hopes among the fans.

So far, G2 has not been able to meet these expectations. The commentator Fabian "Fabian" Hällsten rated the team's performance in the defeat against BDS as "one of the worst" in the first phase of the European League. Fabian has won several tournaments with G2 during his time as an active player.

The Berliners were only able to qualify because the other Canadian team Rogue also lost by a significant margin against the top of the table Heroic (3:7). Rogues team captain Leon "LeonGids" Giddens tweeted after the loss: "Everyone expected us to finish 8th to 10th, and now they are shocked that we are not in the Majors.»

In addition to G2, BDS and Heroic, the Looking For Org team has also qualified for the Rainbow Six Major, which consists of the former players of Team Vitality. The tournament is scheduled to take place between May 16 and 22 in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. For the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic, an audience will be able to be on site live.
