Rainbow Six Siege's North American League 2020 stage two concluded its fifth playday and the results are here. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the matches have been held online. The North American League had some really exciting matches to watch this week, with all the matches played as a best of three format. We got to see a variety of maps in play, teaching us new strategies that can be implemented into our own games.
The matchup between TSM and Spacestation Gaming was the most anticipated match of the fifth playday. The first map was played on Consulate, which is an attacker-sided map. TSM is pretty strong on Consulate due to the frag-heavy meta revolving around the map. SSG was able to take a few rounds on defense by playing super aggressively, but it didn’t matter as TSM read SSG like a book and countered them with ease. TSM took the first map with a 7-3 scoreline.
The second map was played on Kafe Dostoyevsky, which is a defender-sided map. Kafe is a map where SS usually dominates other teams. However, TSM was able to counter SSG really well and was able to out-frag their enemies. Their gun skills and coordination gave TSM an upper hand in winning a strategy-heavy map. TSM won the second map with a 7-3 scoreline.
Another good match to watch was between eUnited and Tempo Storm. The first map was played on Oregon, which is a utility-heavy map. Tempo was absolutely dominant on their defending side, which allowed them to take the first split with a flawless 6-0. eUnited was able to take five rounds on defense, but lost the match with a 5-7 scoreline.
The second match was played on Clubhouse, which is a defender-sided map with the Maverick ban. eUnited banned Vigil, which was surprising, but it was to counter the SSG strategy used in basement defense. The bans worked in eUnited’s favor and they also played really well, which helped them take Clubhouse with a 7-3 scoreline. The decider map between eUnited and Tempo Storm was played on Villa. Tempo started out really strong, but eUnited was able to frag their way through and win the match with a 7-5 scoreline.
