Following the conclusion of the online qualifiers, the RUSH Series Summer's Swiss Stage is kicking off later today. Here's a brief look at some of the teams that will compete, as we gather some of the rosters the viewers should look forward to!
Keyd Stars
After dropping their last active member in Oct. 2019, Keyd Star returned to the Rainbow Six Siege esports scene after picking up Magic Squad's core in Aug. 2023.
With a roster full of young talent, the purple squad finished in fourth place in the Brazil League 2023 Stage 2. Later on, the team finished in third place in the Brazil League 2023 Stage 2 Last Chance Qualifier.

MIBR
Earlier this week, MIBR unveiled the team's new Rainbow Six Siege roster heading to the 2024 season. The announcement came two months after the organization dropped most of its players and staff.
Unexpectedly, the Brazilian organization's new project is now one of the favorites to start the year with a victory at the RUSH Series Summer. Moreover, the fans are already excited to find out what's the team's real potential heading to next season's Brazil League.
Expected lineup:
- #flag@20:br Diogo "Fntzy" Lima

Black Dragons
Black Dragons' end to Year 7 was extremely promising as the Brazilian organization returned to the international scene after qualifying for the Six Jönköping Major. Unfortunately, the team's qualification for the competition played in Sweden was just a mirage.
In 2023, Black Dragons have been far away from the organization's goals. Therefore, the team only kept Gabriel "AsK" Santos and Roberto "Loira" Camargo. This means that we will see three new players competing for Black Dragons in the RUSH Series Summer.
Expected lineup:
- #flag@20:br Gabriel "AsK" Santos
- #flag@20:br Roberto "Loira" Camargo
- #flag@20:br Darkeyss

E1 Sports
The project led by the former Team Liquid player Thiago "xS3xyCake" Reis has gone through some changes heading to the RUSH Summer Series.After the end of the second stage, Luca "LuKid" Ribeiro and Enzo "Rappz" Aziz left the team. Moreover, the team's former coach Gustavo "Pandex" Toriani also left the organization.
If that wasn't enough, Leonardo "Astro" Luis has also parted ways with the roster, as he will play in the RUSH Summer Series for Deregados Team. Following the deep changes, it's difficult to tell what to expect from E1 Sports.
Expected lineup:
- #flag@20:br Thiago "xS3xyCake" Reis

Os Iluminados
Following Netshoes Miners' departure from the Rainbow Six Siege scene, the Brazilian roster is now organization-less. Therefore, this tournament is the perfect stage for them to surprise their opponents and present themselves as a great investing opportunity for those who want to join the Brazil League.

The LATAM League roster will compete in the RUSH Series Summer as an invited team. The Argentinian majority roster recently played at the BLAST R6 Major Atlanta, but couldn't made it out of the initial group stage.
Unfortunately for the squad, it seems that they will not be able to play with Richard "blk" Rodríguez as he hasn't been registered in the team's starting squad. Instead, the team's coach Murilo "Mugusto" Augusto will complete the roster.

For those unaware, Elevate joined the Brazilian scene after picking up Nova Clayton's squad and were one match away from qualifying to the Brazil League 2023 Stage 2 Last Chance Qualifiers. Now, they are known as one of the best squads in Brazil's Tier 2.
