26 May 2026 07:02

The Esports Nations Cup has revealed the 12 directly invited Rainbow Six Siege rosters for its inaugural 2026 edition, the first wave of team announcements for the tournament. The R6 portion runs November 18-22 inside the wider ENC window of November 2-29 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a possible relocation to Paris on the table if regional conflicts force the same move the Esports World Cup recently made.

The Format and Prize Pool

A total of 24 teams will compete for a $1.32 million prize pool. Twelve nations earned direct invitations through the Siege National Team Ranking, a points-based system that combines the scores of the top five players on each submitted roster, drawn from results at the Six Invitational, the BLAST R6 Majors, EWC 2025, and regional leagues. The cut-off for that ranking was May 17. The remaining spots are filled by ten teams qualifying through regional online qualifiers held May 29-31, plus two wildcard slots. More than 80 nations submitted rosters in total, including Bolivia, Greece, and Brunei Darussalam, with most fielding the maximum seven players.

The 12 Directly Invited Teams

The 12 nations and their rosters (S denotes a substitute) are:

Brazil – VITAKING, Paluh, Handyy, Kheyze, Cyber, Loira (S), Jv92 (S);

France – LikEfac, BlaZ, Mowwwgli, BriD, Shaiiko, SkyZs (S), bbySharKK (S);

United States – Gunnar, Gaveni, Stompn, Ambi, Fultz, Bae94 (S), njr (S);

Great Britain – Doki, CTZN, Nafe, Wizard, Yuzus;

Sweden – Spoit, Noa, Treiko, Elizaard, Shmari, KaneB (S), Lurifax (S);

Indonesia – Hovenherst, Ape, Elang, Toliji, Rixx, Griv (S), Sunan (S);

China – Reeps96, Txonly, SoloMiD, MoonL1ght, YaaaaZ, OnJuly (S);

Australia – Brendo, Jigsaw, Kyro, Relaes, Playxr, Wettables (S), Virtue (S);

Germany – Hungry, jume, cryn, Jay, korey, Nono (S), Bio (S);

New Zealand – Terd, Tuhan, Kqrma, Japer, Machine, Campo (S);

Poland – Adrian, Gruby, nudl, Saves, PingWIN, Vexliss (S), Dexir (S);

Portugal – Flexy, Enshilaz, Tridly, TomHates, Savage, Tnqz (S), Thuunder (S)

The Favourites

Brazil enters as the heavy title favourite, fielding the FaZe Clan trio of Thiago "Handyy" Ferreira, Victor "VITAKING" Santos, and Jaime "Cyber" Ramos, the back-to-back defending Six Invitational champions. France is the other roster drawing attention, reuniting the trio of Stéphane "Shaiiko" Lebleu, Loïc "BriD" Chongthep, and Théo "LikEfac" Mariano, who won the Esports World Cup 2024 together under Team BDS before splitting across the club scene.

Just Missed the Cut

Just outside the direct-invite line, Turkey narrowly missed qualification, with Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Chinese Taipei following close behind. Those nations will now look to secure their places through the regional qualifiers held May 29-31.
