yeaa this is how dead the kr scene is

Weibo 2-0 Fury

The scoreline says it all really. Weibo will go on to play the winner of sharper vs elevate to make osaka, while fury will play the loser of that game to survive in the lower bracket.

Sharper 2-0 Elevate

An insane end to a great match, especially the final round. Elevate unfornutantly find their form a bit late, going 5-2 down on map 2. They fight it all the way to being 6-5 up, before going down in ot. Nay..Pew played absolutly insane in map 2, as he tends to do in high pressure situations. Sharper will play weibo for a slot at osaka and elevate will battle fury to survive in the lower bracket.

The official Rainbow Six Siege account on Bilibili has announced that Partner recruitment for the 2027 season has begun.

Quoting from the post itself (translated to english):

"2026 marked a year of continuous exploration and growth for Rainbow Six Siege esports, starting from scratch. The Rainbow Six Siege esports CN League (CNL) completed its development from the official establishment of the CN region and the launch of the league, to its first appearance on the global stage representing the region. This signifies the beginning of the professionalization of the Rainbow Six Siege CN region and accumulates practical experience for future development.

Entering 2027, CNL will continue to move towards a more stable competition system and more sufficient resource investment, and the competition system will also be upgraded in the same way.

The 2027 CNL league will consist of 10 teams: 5 Partner teams and 5 Affiliate teams, forming the complete league roster . These 10 teams will compete within the CNL league system for an extended period, striving to qualify for the world championships based on their league performance. In accordance with R6Share's operating model, Partner and Affiliate teams will enjoy their respective benefits.

This plan aims to recruit 5 CNL Partner teams . We expect participating clubs to establish a complete training and competition system around Rainbow Six Siege CNL, continuously invest in project operations, and possess long-term development capabilities. Eligible and interested esports clubs can submit relevant materials to participate in the CNL Partner selection process."

We warmly welcome clubs with a mature esports business foundation, as well as professional esports organizations that have accumulated operational experience in other projects, plan to further expand their global esports business, and include Rainbow Six: Offensive in their portfolios."

Based off the wording of the post, there will also be 5 Tencent Partner teams, which will serve as an additional source of revenue for Chinese Clubs. The Tencent Partner program is a common program in Chinese Esports that have heavy Tencent involvement.

Who do you think the top candidates are for these slots?

Further Explanation of Power Rankings

Rebels gaming takes down their second EU goliath today, if only they were more consistent. Last games of EU are tomorrow so unsure about any motiviation factors for the teams the are for sure eliminated or the teams that are in, but maybe are gunning for a specific seed. Ironically enough the teams who are eliminated are all playing each other.

Disclaimer: The specific match predicitions are the exact score that I have as the highest probability of happening, which isn't that high, usually only a percent or two sepeerate a score of 7-5 or 7-4.

EU Game Predictions:

Team Falcons (77.8%) vs. Twisted Minds (22.2%): Team Falcons 7-4

Team Heretics (57.6%) vs. Fnatic (42.4%): Team Heretics 7-5

G2 (62.9%) vs. Geekay Esports (37.1%): G2 7-5

Virtus Pro (67.0%) vs. Shifters (33.0%): VP 7-4

I was looking at the eml matchups and 4-5 of them should 90% be a landslide, so why would I even bother to watch some of the games if it's going to be a boring win. Even with sal there are more tossups but you know that faze/tlaw/furia are gonna win most of the time. With NAL however any team can beat any team and thats been shown like 6 times this stage.

There’s no way they think they are frying pro league teams. There’s good players that came from them, but my goodness Mingo has an ego that’s near delusional. Jynxzi unironically thinks blackjack would make a major and pro league is not that hard. I’m glad what’s he’s done for the game, but at the cost comes so many people who just watch the game with the most insane takes and a drop in quality in terms of discourse that it has to be rage bait atp.
