TL;DR

FURIA has released nearly its entire Rainbow Six Siege roster following a sixth-place finish at the Six Invitational 2025 in Paris, with Gustavo "Herdz" Herdina the only player retained by the organisation.
The dismissed players were the former w7m squad that won the Six Invitational 2024, claiming a $1 million prize after dominant runs at the BLAST Atlanta Major and BLAST Copenhagen Major the previous year.

FURIA has made a decisive move in Rainbow Six Siege, and it is not a subtle one. After a disappointing exit at the Six Invitational 2025, the Brazilian organisation has released almost every player on its roster in one sweeping restructure. Only Gustavo "Herdz" Herdina survives the cleanout, left as the single foundation on which FURIA will attempt to build a competitive team from scratch.

For a squad that was champions of the world less than a year ago, the speed of the fall is striking. And for the dismissed players, the question of what comes next.

The Roster That Was Let Go

The core of the recently released FURIA roster was the former w7m esports squad, a team that built itself into arguably the best Rainbow Six Siege unit in the world across 2023 and 2024. Their run during that period was genuinely dominant. Back-to-back Major wins, first at the BLAST Atlanta Major and then at the BLAST Copenhagen Major, established them as the team to beat heading into the Six Invitational 2024. They delivered on that status, claiming the title and the $1 million prize that comes with it.

That success is what brought them from w7m to FURIA in the first place. When FURIA integrated the roster, it was acquiring a proven championship team rather than building from scratch. The expectation was that the investment would continue to generate results at the top level of the game. At the Six Invitational 2025 in Paris, that expectation was not met. FURIA reached the playoffs, which is not a result to be dismissed entirely, but back-to-back elimination losses against Team Falcons and Fluxo W7M ended their tournament. Sixth place at Invitational, for a roster built around recent world champions, was not enough to justify retaining the entire squad.

Herdz Stays, Everyone Else Goes

Of the players who made up the roster, only Herdz has been kept by FURIA. It is a significant vote of confidence in a single player, and it signals that FURIA sees him as the centrepiece around which the next version of the team will be constructed rather than an outgoing piece in a full teardown.

FaZe Clan Makes History in Paris

While FURIA was exiting the tournament, FaZe Clan was making history at the other end of the bracket. The Brazilian FaZe roster won the Six Invitational 2025, becoming the first team ever to win back-to-back Six Invitationals. It is a landmark achievement in Rainbow Six Siege esports, and it reinforces Brazil's status as the dominant force in the game at the international level.
