On February 3 at 23:00 CET, Shopify Rebellion and FaZe Clan will face off in the group stage of the Six Invitational 2025. For both teams, this will be their first match in the tournament. We've analyzed the form of each team and made a prediction for the player of the match.

Current Situation

The organization Shopify Rebellion has just opened a division for Rainbow Six Siege by signing a roster that previously played for the club Soniqs. Thanks to signing this roster, the team currently ranks 13th in the global ranking according to Ubisoft. The lineup has already established itself as the best team in North America, becoming the champion of the North America League 2024 - Stage 2 and consolidating this result by reaching the playoffs of the major.

FaZe Clan occupies the second position in the global Ubisoft rankings and has been consistently performing with the same lineup since October 2023, proving their strength on the international stage. The team has established itself as the strongest representative of South America, winning the latest local tournament BR Premier Finals 2024. FaZe Clan arrived at the Six Invitational 2025 as one of the event's main favorites.

Current Team Form

The current Shopify Rebellion roster has not yet had the opportunity to compete in major tournaments under the new tag, but its members have already proven their competitiveness. At the BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024, the lineup made it to the playoffs but lost to FaZe Clan in the quarterfinals, finishing in 5-8th place. Of the last five matches, the team has managed to secure victories against opponents such as G2 Esports, Elevate, and Team Liquid, but losses to Spacestation Gaming and again to FaZe Clan raise questions about their stability against the best teams.

Recently, FaZe Clan has been showing confident gameplay in two tournaments. At BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024, the team reached the semifinals, and at the local tournament in Brazil, they secured a victory, reinforcing their status as leaders in the region. In the last five matches, FaZe Clan has won four encounters, successfully defeating Team Falcons, Shopify Rebellion (ex-Soniqs), E1 Sports, and FURIA Esports. The only loss was recorded against the current best team in the world — Team BDS.

Head-to-Head

In the last six months, the teams have met once, and this encounter took place in the quarterfinals of BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024. FaZe Clan won that match 2:0 (7:4 on the Lair map and 7:0 on the Bank map). This result indicates a clear tactical advantage for FaZe Clan in the previous clash.

Match Prediction

The upcoming match in the group stage of Six Invitational 2025 promises to be interesting and tense. Despite Shopify Rebellion showing potential and confident gameplay, their previous encounters with FaZe Clan did not come without challenges, which casts doubt on the possibility of an advantage in their favor. FaZe Clan, holding high positions in the world ranking, with a stable form and convincing victory in personal clashes, looks like the clear favorite. It is quite likely that the team from South America will once again demonstrate their superiority. However, Shopify Rebellion could deliver an unexpected surprise if they manage to leverage their strengths and make adjustments to their play.

PREDICTION: FaZe Clan wins with a score of 2:0

The Six Invitational 2025 takes place from February 3 to 16 in Boston, USA. The teams are competing for a prize pool of $3,000,000. You can follow the tournament schedule and results via this link.
