Dplus have qualified for the BLAST R6 Major Munich after back-to-back victories against Daystar and PSG Talon. It will be the South Korean powerhouse’s return to Rainbow Six Siege’s international scene after missing out on the Six Invitational 2025 and the Siege X Esports World Cup 2025.
With today’s qualification, Dplus are on the right track to also qualify for the Six Invitational 2026 through the Global Standings. At the time of writing, with 500 SI Points, the Brazilian lineup is in third place. However, as they didn’t qualify for this season’s APAC Regional Finals, the lineup needs a good result in Munich in order to keep their hopes alive until, at least, mid-December.
As the Six Invitational 2026 is already far away from us, let’s focus on the BLAST R6 Major Munich and what Dplus’ qualification means.
Brazilian resurrection in Munich
Dplus’ qualification for Munich means the Six Major champions José “bullet1” Victor and Juliano “Levy” Andrade, as well as the Six Invitational champion Dyjair “Mity” Soares, will all make a return to international heights – after years out of Siege's global circuit.
The former FaZe Clan player won the Six Sweden Major in November 2021, reached the Six Berlin Major grand final, and was two wins away from lifting the sledgehammer at the Six Invitational 2022. His last international game was against the eventual champions G2 Esports on February 14 at the Six Invitational 2023.
The Six Mexico Major champion Juliano “Levy” Andrade is making a return to international heights over three years after his last international match, which was on February 12 at the Six Invitational 2022.
In Levy’s case, it’s worth mentioning that he was the only Team oNe player left to compete at an international event since their dramatic Six Invitational 2022 exit. The Brazilian roster included three future Six Invitational champions in Karl “Alem4o” Zarth, Eduardo “KDS” Chiste, and Rafael “RafadeLL” de Oliveira, as well as the former Team Liquid player and current Wildcard coach Lorenzo “Lagonis” Volpi and the current Stellae Gaming player Caio “Neskin” Szazi.
Finally, Mity’s case is a bit special as the former Ninjas in Pyjamas’ coach qualified for the BLAST R6 Major Montreal while being Dplus’ coach last season. Unfortunately, due to visa issues, Mity couldn’t travel to Canada and therefore missed out on the chance to represent the South Korean powerhouse at an international level in November 2024.
Therefore, the BLAST R6 Major Munich should be Mity’s first international appearance since the Six Invitational 2022, where he was Ninjas in Pyjamas’ head coach. It will also be his first international appearance as a Rainbow Six Siege X player.
Plainly, when Dplus play their first match in Munich, which is expected to be on November 8, it will have been 998, 1,366, and 1,362 calendar days since bullet1, Levy, and Mity’s last international appearances.
At the same time, although he’s not an international champion, we can’t forget about the back-to-back Six Invitational Top 4 finisher Kaique “Faallz” Moreira, whose last international championship came for MIBR at the Gamers8 2022 – which means a difference of 1,189 between the day of his last international game and his upcoming BLAST R6 Major Munich debut.
First Brazilian-majority imported roster to qualify for top flight international event
Throughout Rainbow Six Siege’s esports history a bunch of teams tried to import Brazilian talent in order to clinch a spot at international competitions including Majors and Six Invitationals. Examples of that include Atheris Esports, Six Karma, Elevate, and Dplus themselves.
Atheris Esports were the first to give the Brazilian-majority formula a try as they signed former Brasileirão players Victor “Bersa” Hugo, Daniel “Novys” Novy, and Lucca “MKing” Coser. With experience at Brazilian and international competitions, Atheris Esports believed they would be able to challenge other teams in the region; unfortunately, the project fell apart as they couldn’t even win the Campeonato Mexicano 2021 after losing against the full-Mexican roster of Fenix Esports in the grand finals.
Six Karma would also give this concept a shot a few months after their Mexican and Argentinian lineup qualified for the BLAST R6 Major Copenhagen. After missing out on the BLAST R6 Major Atlanta and the Six Invitational 2024, the Mexican esports organization decided to go all-Brazilian. Their roster included the current Dplus players of Nicolas “NearZ” Fresnel and Faallz.
Unfortunately for Six Karma, the Brazilian project didn’t end well either as they missed out on the BLAST R6 Major Manchester, the BLAST R6 Major Montreal, and the Six Invitational 2025. Instead, Team Cruelty and ALPHA Team qualified for both Majors, as Six Karma finished in third place in both splits.
Finally, Elevate’s Brazilian lineup has already made one international appearance as they played in Rainbow Six Siege X’s first-ever competition, RE:L0:AD. However, they didn’t have to qualify for it, as they were invited – it was a competition exclusive to R6 Share 2025 Partners.
With a women’s lineup and an academy roster as well as their Asia League 2025 lineup it’s fair to say Elevate’s efforts to establish themselves as a top tier brand in Rainbow Six Siege X have been strong. However, that hasn’t translated into competitive results.
Including the Six Invitational 2021 champion Gustavo “Psycho” Rigal, the back-to-back Six Invitational Top 4 finisher Enzo “Rappz” Mazzo, the two former Team Liquid members Pablo “resetz” Oliveira and Vitor “hugzord” Hugo, and the former FaZe Clan player Ronaldo “ion” Osawa, Elevate have plenty of experience and quality in their roster; unfortunately, this hasn’t been enough as Weibo Gaming and Daystar stopped them from qualifying for the Siege X Esports World Cup 2025 and the APAC 2025 Major Munich Qualifier, respectively.
All in all, after over four years of failed attempts, finally a Brazilian-majority roster has qualified for a top flight international competition as Dplus will represent APAC at the BLAST R6 Major Munich.
