After the conclusion of the first eight matches of the competition, the first day of action of the Six Invitational 2024 is now over. Here's what has happened today!
G2 Esports only team able to contain Brazil's supremacy
Led by the back-to-back BLAST R6 Major champions and current favorites to lift the sledgehammer by the end of February, w7m esports, the Brazilian fans expect São Paulo to be the location for the region's second world championship.
As expected, Day 1 of the Six Invitational 2024 has gone smoothly. Despite G2 Esports' rock-solid victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas, the region's results have been highly positive. While FaZe Clan defeated DPlus, LOS produced the only flawless win of the day with a 7-0 score against Team Falcons on Border.
Last but not least, w7m esports closed the day with a 2-0 victory against M80 in a very close series as both maps were decided in overtime.
Individually, the Brazilians are also dominating the player charts. As we head to the second day of action, nine of the best fifteen SiegeGG ratings are owned by Brazilian players.
Team Falcons may suffer more than expected
Having to play at an international competition with one stand-in is tough. The new player must adapt to the needs of the squad while quickly understanding what can he bring to the roster.
Team Falcons' case goes even further. The team isn't just playing with one stand-in but with two — and a loaned coach who joined the team right before the conclusion of the transfer window.
Today, the disconnection between players was seen on the roster. Fortunately, the Saudi Arabian-majority squad still has four days to react. The roster's best chance may come tomorrow, as they will face FURY at 12:30 PM CET.
Ambi gets MVP in professional debut
Soniqs' new addition Jaylen "Ambi" Turk got the best SiegeGG rating in his team against SCARZ as he finished with an entry balance of 6-3 (+3) and a K-D of 25-20 (+5) while maining Finka and Fenrir.
Despite the players' great performance, the American wasn't the best on the server as Riku "REC" Katou finished the match with an overall SiegeGG rating of 1.24. After the 15 rounds played on Chalet, the Japanese ended the map with 23 kills to his name.
Positive start for Wolves in an extremely defensive-sided series
Wolves Esports debut at the Six Invitational 2024 was a 2-1 victory against Spacestation Gaming. After losing the first map of the series, the Frenchmen completed the comeback with wins on Kafe Dostoyevsky and Consulate.
The match between Wolves Esports and Spacestation Gaming is an extreme example of what happened on the first day of action of the Six Invitational 2024: as expected, defenders seem to control the Siege meta.
In total, the series between Wolves Esports and Spacestation Gaming had 35 rounds, with 25 of those being won by the defender side. This means that the attackers' win rate was lower than 30% (28.57%).
