On February 7 at 2:30 CET, SSG and w7m will clash in the group stage of the Six Invitational 2025. For both teams, this will be the third match in the tournament. We have analyzed the gameplay form of each team and made a prediction for the match player.

The Current Situation

SSG

SSG has long been a part of the Rainbow Six Siege discipline, starting from 2018. In 2020, the team managed to claim the Six Invitational champion title. Currently, the team ranks 8th in the world team rankings according to Ubisoft. Within North America, SSG is the third strongest team, having finished third at the North America League 2024 - Stage 2 and advancing to the playoffs of the BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024.

w7m

The Brazilian team w7m holds the 3rd place in the world team rankings according to Ubisoft. The roster has been performing together since March 2024 and has already shown excellent results in major tournaments. On the local scene, the team secured 3rd-4th place at the BR Premier Finals 2024 and third place at the Brazil League 2024 - Stage 2. The most significant achievement for w7m recently was their victory at the BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024, where the team displayed confident gameplay and defeated the strongest teams in the world.

Current Team Form

SSG

At the recent BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024, SSG managed to reach the playoffs, but in the quarter-finals, they lost to the future champions - the w7m team with a score of 0:2. In the last five matches, SSG won against SCARZ, Black Dragons, and DarkZero but lost to Virtus.pro and w7m.

w7m

The Brazilian team recently participated in two major tournaments: BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024 and BR Premier Finals 2024. At the Major, the team reached the grand final, where they defeated BDS and became champions. However, in the BR Premier Finals, w7m lost to FURIA and took the 3rd-4th place. In the last five matches, w7m won against Virtus.pro, Oxygen, BDS, and Virtus.pro once more. Their only loss was to FURIA.

Head-to-Head Record

In the past six months, SSG and w7m have faced each other once — in the quarter-finals of BLAST R6 Major Montreal 2024. The Brazilians won with a 2:0 score. The maps ended with results of 7:5 on Chalet and 7:4 on Clubhouse.

Match Prediction

On paper, w7m looks like the favorite for this match. The team is in better form, ranking 3rd in the world. Moreover, they recently achieved success against SSG, where the Brazilians confidently defeated the North American team.

SSG undoubtedly has strong team play and experience in major tournaments; however, their inconsistent results in recent matches and past loss to w7m place them in the position of the underdog.

Prediction: victory for w7m with a score of 2:0
