Rainbow Six Siege's LATAM League 2020 stage two concluded its tenth playday and the results are here. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the matches have been held online. The LATAM League had some really exciting matches to watch this week, with all the matches played as a best of two format.
The most exciting matchup for the tenth playday was between NiP and W7M Gaming. The first map was played on Kafe Dostoyevsky, which is a utility-heavy map. NiP also happens to be pretty comfortable with the map. The second round was a pretty impressive retake of the site from NiP, as W7M was able to get the plant down in a 4v4 situation with all angles covered. But this didn’t matter for NiP, as the fraggers for NiP were able to force their way through and retake the site by fragging W7M.
The first half ended with NiP leading 4-2 on the defensive split, which is pretty decent. NiP was even more dominant on the attacks which is surprising considering the map favors defense, but this shows NiP’s coordination is better than most teams. NiP almost won round ten, but W7M was able to clutch on the final moments by denying the plant. NiP won the first map with a 7-5 scoreline, using operators such as Montagne and Kali to cut off rotations in the final round. Psycho and Pino played exceptionally well for NiP, carrying the team with 15 and 14 kills respectively.
The second map was played on Oregon, which is a defender-sided map with Thatcher banned. NiP played operators such as Jager, Wamai, and Smoke to soak up the utility used by W7M. NiP was pretty dominant on the defensive side, as they were able to take the first half with a 5-1 scoreline. NiP was able to maintain the momentum on attack as well, proving NiP’s dominance over W7M. Muzi got an insane double kill and traded with the final player on W7M to end the match with a 7-1 scoreline.
Another exciting match to watch was between FaZe and SANTOS. The first map was played on Consulate, which is an attacker-sided map. FaZe ran Blackbeard every round, which is a good pick on Consulate, but bringing Blackbeard to Consulate is frowned upon even on Ranked because of the shield wrapped around his gun. Even with Blackbeard being used by FaZe, FaZe was only able to take four rounds on attack. SANTOS did an impressive rush on round seven, where the team rushed Visa side while FaZe was holding the opposite side of the map. SANTOS was able to slowly regain their momentum until FaZe started being more aggressive. FaZe’s aggression, along with the combination of intel, was too hard to counter for SANTOS. This allowed FaZe to take the first map with a 7-4 scoreline.
The second map was played on Clubhouse, which is a defender-sided map with Thatcher banned. FaZe banned both Clash and Montagne, which could be to counter W7M’s plays with shields on Clubhouse. SKaDinha got an impressive triple kill on the first round by rushing into blue while his team was planting under Kitchen hatch. FaZe used an impressive strategy on the Basement hold, where FaZe extended their setup into CCTV. SANTOS was unable to clear FaZe’s roam which allowed FaZe to get an easy win on round five. After the dust settled, SANTOS was able to take the second map with a 7-4 scoreline. Live played extremely well for FaZe even though he was more of a flex/support role, managing to bag 17 kills by the end of the game.
The final match for the tenth playday was between Team oNe and Black Dragons. The first map was played on Theme Park, which is a defender-sided map with the Thatcher ban. Both teams played super aggressively and the winner of the match depended on which team fragged better. Team oNe was able to win more rounds on defense, which allowed oNe to get a better advantage over BD. Team oNe managed to win the first map with a 7-4 scoreline.
The second map was played on Consulate, which is an attacker-sided map. FelipoX popped off on round two, getting four kills for Team oNe and winning the round. Team oNe finished the first split with a 5-1 scoreline, which is very impressive considering BD is well versed on Consulate. BD was unable to counter oNe and the pressure reached BD due to the score. Team oNe took the second map with a 7-3 scoreline.
