Following a historic weekend for the Rainbow Six: Siege community, a new World Champion was crowned at the Six Invitation 2022 in Stockholm, Sweden<\/a>, with a showdown between TSM FTX and Team Empire. The battle between the two western powers brought a great challenge for both squads, who showed all their best strategies in a best-of-five series for the right to raise the hammer of victory.<\/p>\n

Facing the final duel of these teams, North American esports giant TSM FTX had a gruelling journey to reach this stage. This was accomplished after qualifying for the event via the Last Chance Qualifier, where they finished third in their group and fell into the losers bracket in the winners final before finally going on to eliminate Latin America’s last hope, FaZe Clan.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Team Empire’s path seemed destined for glory, finishing as the second-highest points finisher on the European continent heading into the event. However, once the tournament started, the team quickly became the fan favourites to win the title after finishing top of the group, then finishing off their opponents to reach the finals.<\/p>\n

With expectations running high, the duel between North America and Europe kicked off on the classic Clubhouse map, with TSM opening the scoring in a very close first round.<\/p>\n

As the game progressed, they showed better positioning on the defending side by finishing off all opponents on several occasions. However, Empire was not far behind and kept the score even by taking advantage of their better position for the attack.<\/p>\n

With a 4-2 lead, TSM wasted no time opening the second half by pushing hard and putting up another point in their favour, but this would not be a problem for the defenders. Accordingly, Team Empire was quick to tie the score again, reaching the first sudden death of the series. Here, TSM demonstrated better map control by taking out all of Empire in both rounds, thus claiming the first point.<\/p>\n
