All 16 teams for the BLAST Rainbow 6 Siege X Munich Major have been confirmed, and the tournament is just around the corner. 

Who will compete, what is the tournament schedule, and when will the Siege X Munich Major begin?

Which teams will compete in the BLAST R6 Siege X Munich Major? 

All 16 teams have been confirmed for the BLAST R6 Siege X Munich Major. Four teams qualified from each Regional League: Europe MENA, South America, North America, and Asia Pacific.

Brazil is the highest-represented nationality at the Siege X Munich Major, with 36% of players hailing from the South American esports powerhouse. It is followed by the United States, with 19%, and France, with 10%.

The UK has two representatives at the Major: Jack ‘Doki’ Robertson, entry fragger for G2 Esports, and Josh ‘Yuzus’ Prichard, flex player for Team Falcons.

Which format will be used at the Major?

Although the Major is fast approaching, some format details have yet to be confirmed. This is what we know so far:

Teams will first participate in a Swiss Stage. Despite Swiss Stages usually being associated with Groups, The Seige X Munich Major will not divide the teams. All 16 will sit in the same group and face off in best-of-one games. Elimination rounds will not be best-of-one.

Overall, the Swiss Stage is split into five rounds. Following this, the top eight Swiss Stage teams will advance to the Playoffs Stage.

For the first time in Rainbow 6 Siege Major history, the BLAST R6 Siege X Munich Major will feature a double-elimination Playoff Bracket. 

Teams are seeded based on their Swiss Stage results. Although unconfirmed by BLAST, it is expected that the seeding will work as follows:

• W 3-0 L Swiss Stage teams proceed to Upper Bracket Semifinals 
• W 3-1 L Swiss Stage teams proceed to Upper Bracket Quarterfinals
• W 3-2 L Swiss Stage teams proceed to Lower Bracket Round 1 

There will also be an Upper and Lower Bracket Final, determining the Grand Final teams. 

The Munich Major has a USD$750,000 (~GBP£560,000) prize pool. Every team competing receives a slice of the money, distributed as follows:

• 1st: $250,000
• 2nd: $125,000
• 3rd-4th: $65,000
• 5th-8th: $30,000
• 9th-11th: $20,000
• 12th-14th: $15,000
• 15th-16th: $10,000

Where and when will the BLAST R6 Siege X Munich Major be held?

Most of the BLAST Major will take place behind closed doors. Nevertheless, the final three days of the Major’s Playoffs will take place at Munich’s BMW Park Arena in front of a live audience.  

Those who attend will receive exclusive in-game cosmetics.

The Swiss Stage occurs from November 8th to 11th, followed by the Playoffs from November 12th to 16th. However, there will be no matches on November 13th. 

Therefore, the entirety of the Swiss Stage and a significant portion of the Playoffs will not have a public audience in attendance. 

The R6 Siege X Munich Major is the first European Major since the UK’s Manchester May 2024 BLAST R6 Major.  

Despite only having an audience for three days of the tournament, the BLAST R6 Siege X Munich Major still holds significant competitive weight. Notably, the Major winners receive a direct qualification to the Six Invitational 2026, Siege’s Championship, held in February next year. 

With prize money distribution and a critical qualification at stake, the BLAST Munich Major still promises to be a thrilling spectacle for fans.
