Spacestation Gaming win the Six Invitational 2020
Spacestation Gaming beat Ninjas in Pyjamas in the Six Invitational 2020 to claim the title of Rainbow Six Siege world champions, not to mention their share of the $3m prize pool. After two years of dominance for the EU region, this is the first time that a team from NA has won a major tournament since the earliest days of competitive Rainbow Six Siege.
Spacestation Gaming came into the match with a massive advantage after cruising through the quarter and semi-finals, meaning they started the best-of-five grand finals match with one map already in the bag. However, NiP raced through the first two maps putting them just one map away from victory. SSG started poorly on the third map, losing the first four rounds before mounting an impressive comeback that didn't even require overtime to convert
SSG started the final map strongly, with the defensive half ending 4-2 in favour of the NA team. NiP brought things back in the second half considerably, but couldn't gain a foothold.
NiP’s star player was undoubtedly Pino, who broke into double digits for kills on nearly every map, and even secured an ace on map two. Pino was particularly proficient playing Buck on attack where he was able to put the operator’s two frag grenades and instant soft destruction to use, rotating around the map and picking up countless frags. Muzi, who was arguably NiP’s best player leading up to the final, took more of a backseat, but he still racked up plenty of frags playing on IQ.
