News here! Welcome the Golden Kids of our R6 line Academy @AsK_R6, @thwizardr6s, @dan7R6, @Florior6, @pondelekr6, @TKillerr6, @LuixxR6 We are already present in the Liga Six, who will follow?

A few months later Mity joined the initial Santos roster for the 2020 Season which finished the year in ninth place before he and three teammates were all dropped from the org earlier this month.
Mity now joins NiP in a coaching role making him the first person to lead the team in this position since Ar7hur left NiP to join Nora Rengo in January of last year. NiP's next game will be in the opening game of the 2021 BR6 tournament tomorrow against Team Liquid.

Now, after a short stint on ReD DevilS, Kizi has joined FURIA themselves in the main BR6 league to replace TchubZ who had left FURIA to join Team oNe.

With the change of the structure from Gaming House to Gaming Office by @Furia we had to renegotiate the contract. As we did not reach an agreement, I asked to be released to look for new opportunities and they agreed to release me. I am happy with how the cycle ended, it was a very incredible year in all aspects, for the first time in my career I competed in a relegation (to fall) and we managed to turn it around and get the classification for the World Championship (Invitational). It was an extremely difficult, exhausting, and fulfilling year at the same time. I sincerely thank you for allowing me to live this experience with you.

January 29th: Lagonis Leaves Black Dragons
A year after joining the team, Lorenzo "Lagonis" Volpi has left the Black Dragons after an eighth-place finish during the 2020 BR6 Season.
Today I finish a 1 year cycle representing Black Dragons. I am immensely grateful to the organization for the opportunity and very grateful for the friendships I made here in the team and I am sure that these are friendships that I will take for life. But tough decisions need to be made and my decision was not to stay on Line. I know that, for a team to achieve maximum performance from the members, it is necessary that everyone has a total synergy. As much as all the players on the team are great players, I was not able to achieve the harmony I was looking for. I ended up not finding myself on that line and that's why I'm going to look for new challenges.
January 11th: Xploidz Retires from Chivas
After finishing the 2020 Mexican Championship season in fourth place, "Xploidz" has left Chivas eSports and retired from competitive Rainbow Six.

January 6th: mav Suspended from Team Liquid Following Abuse Allegations
After joining Team Liquid as a coach from FaZe Clan last September, Rafael "mav" Loureiro Freitas has been suspended from the team following abuse allegations that came forward from two years ago.
The allegations made came from two ex-girlfriends which were supported by 14 screenshots of text messages and two voice logs (all in Portuguese). The first of which claimed he had been physically abusive to his ex-girlfriend with her claiming he had "hit her twice against a wall" leaving her purple with bruises:
A portion of one of the texts stating the allegation
He probably turned me purple On the leg Because he hit me twice on the wall Then I screamed that he was hitting me and the girls ran On top of him
Mav responded to this by partially admitting the accusations in this since-deleted tweet:
Sad to see what things have come to, they just want to see bad things happening to others. I have a clear conscience because I know everything I’ve been through in these past years and if a mistake made in the past (yes, 3 years ago I pushed my ex) means I lose...
This comes following a series of accusations of abuse in the Brazilian scene against a number of current and ex-players with the caster of Otávio "Retalha" Ceschi releasing a Twitlonger apology in response to one such accusation:
I was wrong to flirt with Lara at a time when I was dating and she was single. There is no justification for my mistake and no excuses.
Mav will remain suspended while Team Liquid investigates the allegations as the team prepares for their upcoming Six Invitational appearance.
January 2nd: Re4per Leaves Timbers
After joining the team for the mid-season, Luis Daniel "Re4per" Rosas Benitez has left Timbers Esports. In his time on the team, he finished second during Stage two, the November Regional Major and the 2020 Finals.
