Well, it’s been a crazy week or so of Six Invitational 2026 in Paris, and already we are down to our last few sides looking to claim the title. We’ve already seen some incredible action in Paris, but now it’s time for the big stage and a place on the stage at the Adidas Arena.

The action will kick off on February 13th as the Six Invitational 2026 makes its arena debut. With six sides left, the 13th will bring us two Lower Bracket Quarter Finals and our Upper Bracket Final.

On the 14th, we’ll get the Lower Bracket Semifinal and Final, before the 15th brings us the Grand Final. The first two days will remain on the Best-of-Three format, before the Grand Final moves us over to Best-of-Five before crowning the Six Invitational 2026 Grand Final champion.

Six Invitational 2026 Lower Bracket

FURIA vs Fluxo W7M

First up are two sides that ended the Group Stage in second place, with Fluxo W7M having the slightly better record thanks to the extra point for a close loss (2-1 defeat). Fluxo had a good start to the Upper Bracket, taking down Dplus before losing to the Upper Bracket Finalist FaZe Clan in a 2-1 loss.

Once in the lower bracket, they secured two 2-1 victories over Oxygen Esports and Spacestation Gaming to set up this matchup against FURIA.

As for FURIA, they beat both Team Heretics and Weibo Gaming in the Upper Bracket before a 2-0 loss to Team Falcons placed them against Fluxo in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals. Due to their better run in the Upper Bracket, FURIA will come into the matchup as the favorites in R6 Esports. plus their recent record in the South America league favours FURIA.

Having met nine times already in 2025, FURIA has won every meeting between the two. Fluxo W7M will need to change that record for 2026 if they want to keep their dreams alive in Paris.

Wildcard Gaming vs Team Secret

For the second Lower Bracket game, we have a similar situation to the FURIA vs Fluxo W7m matchup, in that both Wildcard Gaming and Team Secret finished in the same position in their respective groups, though this time as winners.

Both sides had the same record of four wins, two by close margins, and ended up on the same 14-point total. Both sides were given a bye to the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals, with Team Secret losing to Team Falcons. Wildcard secured the win against Spacestation Gaming, before losing to FaZe Clan in the Upper Bracket Semifinals.

Team Secret would secure the Lower Bracket win against G2 Esports, before beating Weibo Gaming in the following round of matches. Wildcard secured a bye in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals, so this will be the side’s first test in the Lower Bracket.

The two sides have met twice, both in 2025. Team Secret won at the Munich Major 2025, while Wildcard Gaming won when the sides faced off earlier at RE:L0:AD 2025 – Group Stage. Both of these were in a Best-of-One format, so we don’t really have a good idea how the two will match up.

Six Invitational 2026 Upper Bracket

Faze Clan vs Team Falcons

The Upper Bracket Final sees two sides who have had very mixed experiences in Paris thus far. FaZe Clan topped their group with a 1-2-1-0 record, with Group C being one of the tightest groups at the event. It was a much more split Group Stage of Team Falcons, however, who went 2-0-2-0, beating ELEVATE and Daystar, but dropping points to FURIA and Wildcard.

So far, FaZe Clan has gone 2-0 in the Upper Bracket, beating Fluxo W7m and Wildcard Gaming. Team Falcons have also won all three games, beating Shopify Rebellion, Team Secret, and getting revenge on FURIA. For Team Falcons, they’ve had a much-needed momentum swing in their favour after a tricky Group Stage. With a roster of mostly French Players, Team Falcons will get to sample the home crowd’s love when they play the first stage game.

For FaZe Clan, they’ll be confident going into the series and better rested. The Brazilian side has made the Grand Final at Back-to-Back Six Invitationals, winning in 2025, so confidence will be very high heading into a crucial series. While the home crowd will likely be a factor for Team Falcons, it will be important for FaZe Clan to put that aside. The two sides met twice in 2025, sharing a win each, with FaZe Clan winning 2-1 at the Six Invitational, before Team Falcons got their revenge in the reverse scoreline at the BLAST R6 Major Munich
