Team BDS have qualified for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup after beating Virtus.pro and Team Secret in Europe’s closed qualifier.

The French-majority roster narrowly made it to the bracket’s semi-finals after defeating the Russian side. The team began the series with a maximum overtime victory on Kafe, which was followed by a loss on Chalet and a victory on Bank.

The following day, the two-time Gamers8 champions ran over Team Secret in what was a replay of the BLAST R6 Major Manchester quarter-finals. Following a 7-4 victory on Chalet, the Europeans got the job done with a 7-3 win on Bank.

Therefore, Team BDS’ Rainbow Six Siege squad will be traveling to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the third year in a row after their Gamers8 championship performances in 2022 and 2023. Meanwhile, Team Secret will play against the loser side of the clash between Into the Breach and Wolves Esports to see what team clinches Europe’s last seed to compete in the Esports World Cup.
