In the playoffs of RE:L0:AD 2025, we're in for a thrilling showdown between one of the world's most stable teams, w7m, and the star-studded lineup of Falcons, built around former Team BDS players. Both teams are among the tournament favorites, and their head-to-head promises to be a highlight of the stage. Below, we'll analyze the teams' form and predict the possible outcome of this high-profile match.
Current Situation
w7m ranks 4th in the Ubisoft global rankings and remains one of the most stable teams on the global Rainbow Six scene. Despite their setback at the Six Invitational 2025, where they finished between 13th and 16th, the organization quickly adapted and made a targeted roster change. Before this, in 2024, w7m dominated the international arena and were considered one of the main favorites in any tournament.
Falcons are newcomers in name only. On March 10, 2025, the organization signed one of the most star-studded rosters in the discipline's history—the former Team BDS lineup, including BriD, Shaiiko, Solotov, Yuzus, and captain LikEfac. In 2024, this roster was considered the best in the world and amassed an impressive number of trophies, including a win at the Esports World Cup and silver medals at three major tournaments of the season. Falcons immediately became a formidable force that all opponents reckon with.
Current Team Form
w7m is performing with mixed results at RE:L0:AD 2025. The team secured two confident victories over DarkZero and FaZe Clan, both matches ending 1:0. However, they also suffered two losses, which meant they only advanced to the playoffs thanks to the new format. Despite their high individual level, the team has yet to show the same dominance as last year, especially over longer competitions.
Falcons, on the other hand, are confidently navigating the tournament, displaying a high level of team synergy. They consistently overcome opponents and affirm their status as an elite roster. The Bo3 series is a familiar and comfortable format for the Falcons players, who have extensive playoff experience.
Match Prediction
The match promises to be one of the most intense in the playoffs. Both teams possess high levels of individual skill, but the key factor will be teamwork and experience in BO3 series. Although w7m remains in the top 5 of the global rankings, Falcons have a more stable and decorated lineup capable of controlling the pace and adapting throughout the match.
w7m can put up a fight and take a map, especially if they start the series well, but in a prolonged battle, the advantage lies with Falcons.
Prediction: Falcons to win 2:1.
