With only four teams remaining, we are at the peak of BLAST R6 Copenhagen Major. Today we have the two semifinals: w7m Esports vs Soniqs & FaZe Clan vs Team Liquid. With two promising matches in store, let’s take a look at the predictions of BLAST Copenhagen semifinals.

BLAST R6 Copenhagen Semifinals Predictions

FaZe Clan vs Team Liquid

Rosters

FaZe Clan
  • Jaime ‘Cyber’ Ramos
  • Lucas ‘soulz1’ Schinke
  • Victor ‘VITAKING’ Augusto dos Santos
  • Thiago ‘Handyy’ Sá Ferreira
  • Eduardo ‘KDS’ Chiste Fontes
Team Liquid
  • André ‘nesk’ Oliveira
  • Luccas ‘Paluh’ Molina
  • Pablo ‘resetz’ Oliveira
  • Lorenzo ‘Lagonis’ Volpi
  • Gabriel ‘volpz’ Fernandes

Our Prediction

The first semifinal of the night will be between FaZe Clan and Team Liquid. There’s no doubting that both are heavyweights in the world of Rainbow Six Siege. If we’re talking recent form, FaZe Clan have displayed a better performance during the playoffs finishing second to w7m. Meanwhile, Team Liquid finished 6th and barely made it into the finals stage. In terms of head-to-head, FaZe have won their last two meetings against Team Liquid. Can they do it this time around? Well, it will surely be a close one and it’s highly likely that we’ll play out all three maps. Owing to recent form, we predict a 2-1 victory for FaZe Clan.

W7m Esports vs Soniqs

Rosters

W7m Esports
  • Gustavo ‘HerdsZ’ Herdina
  • Diego ‘Kheyze’ Zanello
  • João ‘Jv92’ Vitor
  • Felipe ‘FelipoX’ De Lucia
  • Felipe ‘nade’ Sá Ferreira
Soniqs
  • Pablo ‘Gryxr’ Rebeil
  • Richie ‘Rexen’ Coronado
  • Emilio ‘Geometrics’ Leynez Cuevas
  • Shaun ‘Gunnar’ Pottorff
  • Ben ‘CTZN’ McMillan

Our Prediction

Our second semifinal of Copenhagen will be taking place between w7m and Soniqs. Both the teams have displayed a dominant form throughout the duration of the tournament. W7m were unbeaten during the playoffs winning all three of their matches. Meanwhile, Soniqs lost one match and it was against w7m themselves. With that in mind, it is highly likely that w7m will be repeating the result. Soniqs will have to put on a nasty show if they want to see themselves in the finals. So, we predict that it will be a 2-1 win for w7m esports.

We’ll see at the end of the night which two teams make their way to the finals of the BLAST R6 Copenhagen Major.

 

We are done with day 5 action of BLAST R6 NA League Stage 1. Day 5 witnessed two teams take up the last two spots of the upper bracket semifinals while two other have been relegated to the seeds. Find out all of the events that took place on day 5!

The Series

The first map was Border where M80 started on defense. M80 won five of the seven defensive rounds and gained an early advantage on Soniqs. As the second half started, Soniqs tried to reduce the gap but failed to do so. M80 won the first map 8-6.

M80 started on defense again on Skyscraper. But it was Soniqs that looked solid on attack. M80 did catch up soon leveling the round score at 2-2. As the roles were reversed, Soniqs looked even before on defense as they managed a hefty lead on their opponent. Soniqs won 7-3. on Skyscraper.

Third time might be the charm as M80 started to defend on Villa. M80 consecutive rounds on defense only conceding one round to Soniqs. Winning two rounds on attack wasn’t enough for Soniqs as M80 were just one round away from winning the series. And so, they did as they won 7-3 on Villa. M80 will be facing SpaceStation today at the upper bracket semifinals of BLAST R6 NA Stage 1.

The Series

The second series of the night of BLAST R6 NA Stage 1 was between beastcoast and Oxygen Esports. The first map of the series was Villa. With beastcoast on attack, they looked ruthless. They won every single attacking round as they shrugged Oxygen off with ease. They were just one round away and that didn’t take long. Beastcoast won the first map 7-1.

On Chalet, Beastcoast started on attack and the first half was fully controlled by them. Oxygen Esports managed to only pick up only two rounds on defense. They couldn’t manage to do a lot on attack and beastcoast picked up the series winning 7-3.

M80 will be facing SpaceStation Gaming tonight at the first upper bracket semifinals. On the other match, beastcoast will be facing DarkZero.
