Bleed Esports have qualified for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup after defeating FURY in Asia's Closed Qualifier grand final.
The series against the Thai squad wasn't a piece of cake for the Asian-majority roster as they lost the first map, Clubhouse, by 3-7. The team's initial defeat was followed by 7-5 and 7-3 victories on Consulate and Border, respectively.
This is the second BO3 win for Bleed Esports in a row after defeating the Thai roster in the Asia League 2024 Stage 1 grand final, when the team from the Red Dot qualified for the BLAST R6 Major Manchester.
With today's results, Bleed Esports have become the eighth qualified team for the Esports World Cup, following the footsteps of Geekay Esports, who qualified yesterday, Team Bliss, PSG Talon, and four Brazilian rosters. It will also give fans the chance to see Jake "Leadr" Fortunato in action for Bleed Esports in a LAN competition for the first time since he joined the Asian squad.
