Twenty teams arrived to the famous English city of Manchester to compete in the first Rainbow Six Siege Major tournament of the season. Now, only eight teams left as they enter the most thrilling yet most cruel stage of them all — single elimination playoffs.

We've told you about the teams who finished the Swiss Stage with a perfect 3-0 stat. Team Secret and FURIA Esports received top seeds and won't face each other before the final. However, six more teams will try to disrupt such plans.

Both FaZe Clan and DarkZero Esports after loss to Team Secret, did not give up and clinched their playoffs spot with a 3-1 stat. They are joined by M80 who, judging by the Buchholz score, were somewhat lucky with their opponents. 

In the 3-2 group, who had to play the last match with the risk of being eliminated, we have survivors in Beastcoast, Team Liquid and Team BDS. The first round match between Beastcoast and FaZe Clan is the most intriguing. The entire round 1 will be played on Friday, while the champion will be crowned this Sunday with the champion being almost a guaranteed invite to the Six Invitational 2025.
