The Rainbow Six Invitational 2024 concluded with w7m esports emerging as the champions, securing victory in a thrilling Grand Finals against FaZe Clan. Here’s a recap of the Six Invitational 2024.
Entering the tournament as favorites, w7m esports had previously claimed back-to-back Majors in 2023 and reached the SI Grand Finals the same year. With the SI event taking place in Brazil for the first time, they enjoyed overwhelming support from the home crowd.
However, the Group stage proved challenging for the Brazilian super-squad, narrowly missing the top seed against Virtus.pro. In the playoffs, they faced a setback, losing their first-round match to Wolves Esports in a closely contested battle, sending them to the lower bracket.
Undeterred, w7m esports embarked on an extraordinary Lower Bracket run, reminiscent of G2’s performance in the 2023 SI. They navigated through the Lower Bracket, defeating European rivals G2 in the LB Semifinals and overcoming Group Stage opponents Virtus.pro in a closely contested LB Finals.
The Grand Finals saw w7m facing FaZe Clan in an all-Brazilian showdown at the Ginásio do Ibirapuera. Match featured a sibling rivalry between twin brothers Felipe “nade” Ferreria of w7m and Thiago “Handyy” Ferreria of FaZe Clan.
The Grand Final unfolded as a back-and-forth battle, with FaZe securing a dominant win in the first map, only for w7m to stage a comeback. After trading blows in four maps, both teams found themselves in the decisive fifth map.
In a gripping turn of events, FaZe Clan took an early 6-1 lead in map five, reaching match and championship point. However, w7m orchestrated the most remarkable comeback in Siege history, forcing overtime and eventually winning seven consecutive rounds to claim victory and hoist the Hammer.

Rainbow Six Invitational 2024: Format
The tournament was divided into two segments, a group stage and a double elimination playoffs.
The 20 qualified teams were split into four groups each containing five teams. All groups will be a round-robin, with all teams playing each other once. In each group, only four teams qualified for the playoffs, with the team at the bottom of their group being eliminated.
Once all 18 teams have qualified for the playoffs, they played through a double-elimination bracket until a winner is determined. Teams were seeded into the playoff brackets based on their group stage placement. All group stage and most playoff matches were played as Bo3 matches, with the Grand Finals being the sole Bo5 match.
