What players will make their Six Invitational debuts at the Six Invitational 2026?

The Six Invitational is the most important competition of the Rainbow Six Siege esports calendar. It's the world championship of the game, the competition that crowns the best players in the scene. Those who win it will go down the history books as some of the best players to ever compete in Ubisoft's FPS.

Being part of it is already a big honor. So, in this article, we have a look at the players that will make their Six Invitational debuts at the Six Invitational 2026.

Dplus

Overall, Dplus' Brazilian roster averages great international experience, including four veterans in the scene. However, Nicolas "NearZ" Fresnel is the exception. The 21-year-old joined the South Korean powerhouse in February 2025 after six months at Six Karma and a brief stay at Fluxo. Following his international debut at the BLAST R6 Major Munich, the Brazilian will make his Six Invitational debut in Paris.

It's also worth mentioning Dyjair "Mity" Soares' debut as a player at the Six Invitational. Although he lifted the hammer in Paris five years ago, at the Six Invitational 2021, the Brazilian was Ninjas in Pyjamas' coach back then. As he has never competed as a player at the Six Invitational, we decided to include him in this list.

Elevate

Elevate's Brazilian project is similar to Dplus' roster. Including some veterans in the Brazilian region, the team also has one Six Invitational rookie in Vinicius "Stemp" Stempnhak. In fact, the former Black Dragons and Keyd Stars player will not only make his Six Invitational debut in Paris next month; he will also make his international debut, as he joined Elevate after the conclusion of RE:L0:AD.

ENTERPRISE Esports

ENTERPRISE Esports are headed to the Six Invitational 2026 with one clear goal: making Oceania proud. The bar is high, as previous Oceanic rosters include Mindfreak, Fnatic, or Team Bliss, who reached Top 8 and Top 6 finishes.

Regardless of what the final result is, ENTERPRISE Esports have already won this season. The team went from achieving promotion to Oceania's top flight to qualifying for all international events played this year, including the Esports World Cup 2025, the BLAST R6 Major Munich, the Six Invitational 2026, and even the APAC Cup 2025.

In Paris, four of ENTERPRISE Esports' five players will make their Six Invitational debuts, including Jaxen "Bapn" Dunwell, Oliver "Relaes" Schoebel, Harry "Tuhan" Wise, and Chris "Playxr" Lau. The only one player who has already got Six Invitational experience in the team is Morgan "Fishoguy" Ishizaka, who played for Team Bliss at the Six Invitational 2024.

G2 Esports

For the first time in two years, G2 Esports will travel to a Six Invitational with realistic odds of winning the competition. The samurai have improved a lot since the conclusion of RE:L0:AD and that change happened shortly after Zack "Stompn" Lamb joined the roster.

The American rookie has taken over the Rainbow Six Siege esports scene and has quickly become one of the best in the ecosystem. He will likely be the most followed player at the Six Invitational 2026 as this will be his first fight to lift the hammer.

Ninjas in Pyjamas

Ninjas in Pyjamas have had a rock-solid year at the South America League 2025. The ninjas qualified for the Esports World Cup 2025 and reached the BLAST R6 Major Munich Top 8. Their consistency ended up with a Six Invitational qualification, the team's first since the Six Invitational 2024.

This will also be a special one for Ninjas in Pyjamas, as they are back to the city that saw them lifting the hammer five years ago, at the Six Invitational 2021.

The Six Invitational 2026 won't only be a tournament for memories, but also for the future, as the ninja's Gabriel "Hatez" Kobuszewski will make his Six Invitational debut next month.

Weibo Gaming

Weibo Gaming have become the most experienced and reliable Asian roster. While the spotlight is often taken over by Wu "Reeps96" Weichen, the roster includes some already experienced players such as Mohamed "SpeakEasy" Yunos, who played at the Six Invitational before for Giants Gaming, or the former Bleed Esports duo Taylor "Terdsta" Ching and Aldi "Hovenherst" Firmansyah.

However, surprisingly enough, Weibo Gaming's Razaan "Ape" Adiprakasa will make his Six Invitational debut next month. The Indonesian player has been in Asia's top flight since the first stage of APAC South 2022. After stays for Gaimin Gladiators and Elevate, the player qualified for the Six Berlin Major, the BLAST R6 Major Copenhagen, and the BLAST R6 Major Montreal... but never for the Six Invitational. This one will be special for him.

Wildcard

Wildcard have struggled to find results in North America during Year 10. However, it's fair to say they played above expectations on the international stage. The American-majority roster got Top 4 finishes in RE:L0:AD and the BLAST R6 Major Munich. In what will be their third international competition, Wildcard's players shouldn't be underrated.

Still, the truth is that, compared to other teams, the squad doesn't have much experience except for Leonardo "dash" Lopes and Evan "Kanzen" Bushore. Next month, three Wildcard players will make their Six Invitational debuts, including Joan "bbySharKK" Benito, who will play in front of a home crowd, as well as the Americans Brady "Spiker" Lukens and Jacob "Bae" Dowling.
