The Wolves Esports Rainbow Six Siege team of English Premier League football club Wolves have made history after winning the latest European League.
Wolves won Stage three of the 2022 European League today, earning them €15,000 in prize money and 225 Six Invitational Global Points.
They finished ahead of Team BDS, fellow UK-based esports org MNM Gaming and Heroic who finished second, third and fourth in the standings respectively.
The win comes after Wolves Esports won Stage 2 of the European League back in the summer, meaning they have picked up historic back-to-back wins in the European League stages.
Wolves Esports manager Michael ‘Duck’ Moriarty, a veteran from the UK esports scene (particularly CSGO), said on Twitter: “Not been in the game too long and already making history. Not going to be stopping anytime soon. Thank you #OnePack.”
Wolves Esports Siege manager Robin ‘Robz’ Planus added: “Super proud of being the first team in the history of the Siege European League to be back to back stage champions.
“Huge work from the players, from Wolves Esports staff and as always, my biggest thank you is for our fans. You guys stick with us along the journey, it means so much.”

Wolves moved into Rainbow Six Siege esports back in May 2022 with a French-heavy roster and have made solid waves in the game since then.
They have qualified for the Six Jönköping Major, which takes place in Sweden from November 21st to 27th 2022. They are one of 16 of the world’s top Siege teams taking part in the major, along with the likes of MNM, BDS, TSM, Team Liquid, FaZe and more.
Aside from the back-to-back Stage wins, their players are also the only European League team to place top four in every stage this season, as pointed out by Rainbow Six Liquipedia editor Heno.
