Cloud9 is returning to the big Rainbow Six after a break of almost 4 years. In their first official match, the new roster will play against PSG Talon, who showed an unstable performance at the Six Invitational 2025 but won several important victories. Both teams find themselves in a situation where a victory at the start of the RE:LO:AD group stage could be decisive for reaching the playoffs.

Current form of the teams

Cloud9 is a new team that returned to the scene in the spring of 2025. Over the past 3.5 years, they have not participated in tournaments and do not yet have official statistics, so this match will be the first test for the new five.

PSG Talon - have a good series of performances: victories over BDS and DarkZero at the Six Invitational 2025 (both with a score of 2:1), but also defeats from Falcons and Razah Company Academy (0:2). PSG won 2 of their last 4 matches and have a 50% winrate.

Mappool

Cloud9 doesn't have a public map yet, so teams are likely to avoid trivially uncomfortable maps for the opponent. PSG usually bans Clubhouse, Border, and Bank, and often chooses Consulate or Skyscraper. Predicted scenario: Cloud9 will be banned for Oregon and Kafe Dostoyevsky, PSG will be banned for Clubhouse and Bank. Consulate, Skyscraper, and Chalet may remain in the game.

Prediction

Despite the lack of statistics from Cloud9, we should expect that the return of such a large organization is accompanied by serious preparation. PSG Talon has already shown that they can fight with the tops, but they also often fail at the start of the maps. Prediction: 2:1 in favor of PSG Talon, although Cloud9 may well take one map on the inertia of the start.

Prediction : 2:1 in favor of PSG Talon

Match odds:

Cloud9 (1.48) vs. PSG Talon (2.50) - May 10, 2025, 19:30 CEST.
