Close decision for third place

Playing for third and fourth place, the match between Evil bEARS and International Lelleks was very close. It was played in a best of three.

The first game on the Kafe map was fiercely contested. After a strong start by International Lelleks, Evil bEARS staged a comeback and won four rounds in a row. With a strong last round, International Lelleks managed to take it into overtime, where they finally won the map and took the 1-0 lead.

The second game was played on the Chalet map. After a strong start by International Lelleks, Evil bEARS fought back and won a few rounds. However, Lelleks proved nerves of steel and were able to successfully fend off the Bears’ comeback – and avoid overtime. The team secured the 2-0 win and took third place. Their opponents finished in fourth place.

In a post-game interview, International Lelleks player Shelduck was relieved. «As a team that hasn’t been together for long, we’re still collecting experience. We’re very happy to have won. It was super close.»

In cooperation with Samsung Odyssey OLED, both teams took home a Samsung T7 Shield for each team member:

Preparation won the big final

In the final, MYinsanity played 15th Law of Power for the overall Playground Cup win. The teams had already met in the qualifiers, with 15th Law of Power coming out on top in a close match. The final was also played in a best of three.

Both teams were confident in the pre-match interview. 15th Law of Power player HollowWhite revealed his team had prepared very thoroughly for the final match and invested a lot of time in training. According to player Neox3005, mYinsanity relied on the strength of their individual players and on «vibes» instead and didn’t do any specific prep work.

The first match was an open exchange of blows that ended in overtime. Dramatic scenes unfolded in the final seconds, leaving both the players and the casters shocked. In the very last seconds, 15th Law of Power secured victory and took the 1-0 lead.

On the second map, mYinsanity struggled to get into the game. Nevertheless, they managed to win a few rounds. But 15th Law of Power proved mental strength and won with a final score of 2-0.

In a post-match interview, HollowWhite from 15th Law of Power revealed why his team’s especially happy: «I’m proud as hell of our team. We had a massive argument last Saturday and almost didn’t make it to the final. But we were able to resolve our conflicts and deserved to win.»

Neox3005 from mYinsanity said after the defeat: «They deserved to win, they were better prepared. Some of us were a bit sick still. We came here to have fun – and we had plenty of fun.»

Rainbow Six is one of the oldest and most productive game series ever. When it was launched, however, it was met with a lot of scepticism because the game concept didn’t fit in at all with the trend of fast-paced first-person shooters at the time. Here’s a recap of the game series’ history:
