Gaimin Gladiators have rejoined Rainbow Six Siege's competitive scene after signing the former roster of Team Bliss, who recently represented Oceania at the Esports World Cup.

Despite signing the current Oceania League champions, the team decided to make a change as they parted ways with Anastasios "Odah" Hatzis in August 30. Instead, the team announced the incorporation of Harry "Tuhan" Wise, who competed for Antic Esports during the first split of the season.

Gaimin Gladiators first joined Rainbow Six Siege's competitive scene in March 2022 as they acquired a roster to compete at the North American Challenger League. However, the organization's stay in the American region didn't last for long as they joined APAC South in June 2022 after signing the Indonesian squad Rooster.

Although Gaimin Gladiators' first stage in Rainbow Six Siege's top-flight saw the team qualifying for the Six Berlin Major, the organization parted ways with the roster one month after the squad was knocked out of the Six Invitational 2023 APAC South Open Qualifier.

One year and nine month after the team's last performance in Rainbow Six Siege's competitive scene, Gaimin Gladiators are back after acquiring the former Team Bliss roster. Since the roster's debut in Oceania's top-flight, the team have qualified for every international event possible, including the BLAST R6 Major Copenhagen, the BLAST R6 Major Atlanta, the Six Invitational 2024, the BLAST R6 Major Manchester, and the Esports World Cup.

After having won every Oceania League stage since BLAST took over the Rainbow Six Siege competitive scene, Gaimin Gladiators are the favorites to qualify for the BLAST R6 Major Montreal. By doing so, the team would be very close of clinching a spot to compete at the Six Invitational 2025 as they would add a minimum of 80 SI Points to their current tally of 270 — which would see them securing a total of 350 SI Points.
