Rainbow Six Siege's LATAM League 2020 stage two concluded its sixth 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 best matchup for the sixth playday was between NiP and MIBR. The first map was played on Clubhouse, which is a strategy-heavy map with Thatcher banned. It was really surprising to see a frag-heavy team such as NiP running three hard breachers on Clubhouse. Running three hard breachers meant having almost nothing to clear/destroy utility, which cost NiP their attacking rounds as MIBR took the first split 6-0. Round four was a disaster for NiP, as MIBR was able to clutch out a 2v4 with ease. MIBR then continued the momentum on attack and shut down their opponents 7-0. The scoreline surprised the viewers and analysts, as we all know NiP is very strong on Clubhouse. Gabriel "cameram4n" Hespanhol played a major role in understanding NiP’s attacks, which allowed MIBR to counter NiP easily.
The second map was played on Kafe Dostoyevsky, which is a utility-heavy map. Round three showed an extremely coordinated clear on the Smoke playing Cigar shop. MIBR used a Capitao on Piano window, a Sledge on Red hatch, and Kali on Skylight to cut off every single rotation. The Smoke fell into the bait due to the Capitao charge and had to rotate to site, but Smoke was unable to get back in site due to the Kali on Skylight. NiP was able to win the majority of their gunfights too, which allowed them to win the second map with a 7-3 scoreline.
Another exciting match to watch was between FaZe and Furia. The first map was played on Coastline, which is a frag-heavy map. Furia played the defensive split pretty aggressively which allowed Furia to take three rounds on defense. Eduardo "KDS" Chiste fragged for FaZe with 12 kills, playing operators such as Ash and Wamai. Both teams didn’t show the viewers anything special on Coastline, but FaZe opting to use more support operators such as Mute and Smoke was surprising. FaZe was able to win every round after losing the first three rounds, and the match finished with FaZe coming out on top with a 7-3 scoreline.
The second map was played on Oregon, which is a utility-heavy map. FaZe is pretty confident when it comes to Oregon. FaZe was able to take five rounds on attack, which is pretty tough even for good teams. Vinícius "live" Santos clutched out an insane 1v3 situation on round three with Thatcher. Furia was tempted to go for the frag on the last FaZe player, but live predicted Furia’s play and was able to take Furia down with ease. The star player of FaZe was live, as the Thatcher/Mute player carried his team with 14 kills and also some clutched rounds.
The final match for the sixth playday was between W7M Gaming and INTZ. The first map was played on Kafe Dostoyevsky, which is a utility-heavy map. Unlike other teams, W7M opted to run Blitz for roam clearing the top floor of Kafe and it actually worked as the defenders had to fall back into the site. The match resulted in a 6-6 draw, with neither team showing impressive plays.
The second map was played on Oregon. Considering the previous match, the viewers expected the match to be a close one. However, INTZ was dominant on the defensive rounds as W7M managed to only win once. INTZ relied a ton on operators that soaked utility such as Castle, Wamai, Jager, Smoke, and Goyo. W7M was unable to clear INTZ's setup due to the lack of flashbangs and information. The match was pretty one-sided with INTZ taking Oregon with a 7-2 scoreline.
