Paluh Breaks All-Time R6S Kill Record at Six International 2026

Paluh Breaks All-Time R6S Kill Record at Six International 2026

The history books of Rainbow Six Siege have been rewritten in Paris. During Fluxo w7m’s high-stakes Lower Bracket Round 3 matchup against Spacestation Gaming at the Six Invitational 2026, Luccas "Paluh" Molina officially became the all-time kills leader in R6 Esports history.

The Brazilian legend has surpassed his former Team Liquid teammate, André "nesk" Oliveira, cementing his status as the most lethal player to ever touch the game.

Dominance on Chalet

The record-breaking moment didn't take long to materialize. Fluxo w7m opened the series with dominant form on Chalet, cruising to a 7-2 victory. Paluh was the architect of SSG's destruction, posting a massive 14 kills with only 3 deaths. That performance on Map 1 was enough to vault him past Nesk's long-standing record.

Paluh continued his hot streak on Map 2 (Clubhouse), dropping a solid 13/9 stat line, though SSG managed to claw back a victory in overtime. The series concluded on Border, where Fluxo w7m eliminated SSG with another 7-2 win. While Paluh took a step back on the final map (3/5), allowing teammate Dodez to shine, his name had already been etched into the record books.

Paluh now sits alone at the top of the mountain. The top five all-time fraggers currently stand as:

What makes Paluh’s achievement even more impressive is his efficiency. He claimed the top spot having played 6,284 rounds—only the fourth most in history. For context, the rounds-played leader, Canadian, sits at 6,615, and the former record holder and now retired Nesk played 6,567 rounds. Paluh has achieved more kills in significantly less playing time than his peers.

Clutch Factor

Beyond pure fragging power, Paluh remains the ultimate closer. Alongside the kill record, he currently also holds the record for the most career 1vX situations won, sitting at 97. He shares this accolade with Team Falcons' support player, BriD.

As Fluxo w7m continues their run through the SI 2026 playoffs, Paluh has successfully stepped out of the shadow of previous Brazilian giants. Now, standing alone at 5,535 kills, Paluh has not only eclipsed his former teammate, but with him still being active, this record will only keep on growing. With Fluxo w7m still alive in the lower bracket, the new king of kills has every opportunity to extend his lead and chase the one thing that matters more than stats: the Hammer.
