The Six Invitational 2026 is here, which means it’s time to preview some groups. The Six Invitational will throw together some of the best teams in Rainbow Six from across the globe. This yearly event is the pinnacle of Siege esports each year, and this time we head to Paris to cap off another year of Siege esports.

Rainbow Six Siege Six Invitational 2026 Group B Preview

In this article, we’ll take a look at the Six Invitational 2026 Group B, which features Daystar, Elevate, FURIA, Team Falcons, and Wildcard. We’ll go over everything you need to know about the five teams that will make up Group B.

Six Invitational 2026 Group B Teams

Daystar

Starting off the Six Invitational 2026 Group B is Daystar, the side that qualified via the APAC LCQ event, beating All Gamers 2-0 in the Grand Final to secure a spot in Paris. It was a huge victory for Daystar, and capped off a mixed year for the side who made the step up to A Tier having won the APAC Challenger Series early in 2025. While they had no showings at international events, they did make a good account of themselves in the regular season.

The sides 2nd place finish in Stage 2 of APAC was a notable moment, though they failed to qualify for the Major off the pack; they did end 4th in the regular Group stage. A good early points haul wasn’t enough to secure a spot at Paris directly; however, they made it in the end.

Elevate

Elevate had a good showing in 2025, securing a spot in Paris on points thanks to consistency across both APAC Stages. Daystar picked up 2nd place in the APAC Stage 1, the APAC Group Stage, and the Regional Finals. While they failed to claim a first place in 2025, they more than comfortably secured a spot in Paris.

Group B is an interesting one for sides not called FURIA or Team Falcons, both of whom will be the favourites. As for the rest, including Elevate, they’ll be battling it out for the 3rd and 4th spots if predictions play out.

Elevate has the chance to shock, given how well they’ve performed overall in the past year. They will be the dark horse of the group and one to watch out for in the playoffs for the Six Invitational too.

FURIA

The first of two big sides in Group B, having had a strong 2025 overall. They started off well at the Six Invitational 2025, securing a 3rd place finish after losing 2-0 to FaZe Clan in the Lower Bracket Final. FURIA took that form into the RE:L0:AD 2025, taking the win in a huge 3-0 victory against CAG Osaka. Internationally, they also came 3rd at the Esports World Cup 2025, and a 7th-8th finish at the BLAST R6 Major Munich.

In South America, they secured the win in the South America Stage 1 and Stage 2, though they missed out on the Regional Finals to FaZe Clan once again. Furia will be one of the favourites to make it out of Group B in the top spot alongside Team Falcons.

Team Falcons had a mixed 2025. Top 8 showings at both RE:L0:AD 2025 and Six Invitational 2025, but a disappointing showing at the Esports World Cup 2025 saw them finish in 13th-16th. Team Falcons did, however, dominate the Europe and MENA region, taking 2nd in Stage 1, before winning Stage 2, and crucially the Regional Finals.

The key for Team Falcons now is to make it count on the international stage. While the disappointment in Saudi Arabia was clear, the loss to M80 in the Major Munich Grand Final was a low point. While it’s been weirdly indicative of Team Falcons overall, the Six Invitational is the perfect chance to start 2026 as you mean to go on.

Wildcard

Wildcard are very much as their name implies for Group B. It’s hard to place how well they might perform. A strong showing at RE:L0:AD 2025 looked set to start them off on the right foot after a disappointing performance, having failed to qualify for Six Invitational 2025.

In the North America regionals, they were consistent at least, securing top 6 spots at each competition, which ended up securing an 11th place spot in the Global Standings. Group B is the battle for 3rd and 4th in our opinion, and Wildcard will need to show up to secure that spot.
