Rainbow Six Siege Six Invitational 2026 Group C Preview

The Six Invitational 2026 is here, which means it’s time to preview some groups. Here we’ll take a look at the Six Invitational 2026 Group C, which features Black Dragons, Dplus, FaZe Clan, G2 Esports, and  Shopify Rebellion. We’ll go over everything you need to know about the five teams that will make up Group C.

Six Invitational 2026 Group C

Black Dragons

Qualifying via the South America LCQ in a 2-1 victory against Team Liquid, Black Dragons are another underdog side making it to the Six Invitational.

It was a huge 2025 for Black Dragons, who will now take to the biggest stage of Siege Esports again, having come from the South American League. Black Dragons came close to making the Six Invitational 2025, though they were last seen at the BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024.

That said, Black Dragons have performed well in 2025 in the South American league, though their LCQ run was still a surprise to many. Black Dragons will be an outsider in a tough group, but if there’s any time to make a hero run, it’s at the biggest event in Siege esports.

Dplus Kia

The Six Invitational 2026 marks the return of Dplus Kia, who missed out on the 2025 iteration after a loss to FearX. 2025 saw the South Korean sign field a full Brazilian roster in the APAC region, and it has paid off handsomely.

Dplus Kia will be another side to keep an eye on in Paris, having been a consistent side in their region in 2025. The big challenge now is taking that form into a major international event and continuing to show the same level of form.

FaZe Clan

The holders of the Six Invitational had a mixed 2025 after winning the title last year. That Major win was followed up by a disappointing Group Stage exit at RE:L0:AD 2025. They recovered in the South America League Stage 1, though they fell early in the Esports World Cup 2025. FaZe would later lose out to eventual winners M80 at the BLAST R6 Major Munich.

For FaZe, they managed to end the year with a win in the South America Regional Finals, though their points for the Six Invitational were more than secured as they finished 7th overall in the standings. As reigning champions, FaZe Clan will come into Paris as one of the favourites for the Six Invitational. The end-of-year form will certainly help the side heading into Paris, and they’ll need a strong showing as Group C looks like it could be the hardest group.

G2 Esports

G2 Esports had a nearly season in 2025, the second-place finish at the Esports World Cup 2025 is the most notable, though the $350,000 prize for second place probably softened that blow slightly. They did struggle at both the Six Invitational 2025 and RE:L0:AD 2025. Ending on the international stage with a 5th-6th place finish at the BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025.

In the Europe and MENA region, they were strong throughout 2025. Taking first place in Stage 1 against Team Falcons, but losing the reverse fixture in Stage 2 at the Lower Bracket Final stage.

They would lose again to Team Falcons in the Regional Finals for Europe and MENA. However, consistent performances across 2025 secured them 3rd place in the Global Standings heading to Paris. Another advantage is that they are the home region side, and one of the favourites from the region. While having the crowd on side won’t come into play until the finals stage, it’s still an advantage that they can take into the series.

Shopify Rebellion

Shopify Rebellion come into Group C, is the North America representative, having had a strong showing in the region in 2025. Consistency on the regional stage has been a hallmark of Shopify Rebellion’s year; however, the international showings have not been as good.

A struggle at the Six Invitational 2025 was followed up by a 5th-8th finish at the Esports World Cup 2025. While the showing in Saudi Arabia looked like a corner turn for Shopify, they would then drop out at the Group Stage at the R6 Major Munich.

Shopify will need to bring its regional form to Paris, which is a big ask in such a difficult group. Though with only one side being eliminated at the Group Stage, despite the “group of death” title Group C has taken up, Shopify should be one of the four sides to make it to the playoff stage. However, a higher placement is crucial for limiting the number of games you have to play.
