The Playoffs Format:

The RE:L0:AD 2025 playoffs will feature a single-elimination bracket among the top eight teams.

  • The Quarterfinals and Semifinals will be contested in a Best of Three format, requiring adaptability and stamina from every squad.
  • The Grand Final will be a Best of Five, to claim the first-ever Siege X championship.

Opening Matches:

FEARX vs CAG Osaka [May 16, 3 pm CET | 6 am PT]

The APAC region’s presence in the playoffs has been trimmed down to two teams, both of which have shown real promise: CAG Osaka and FEARX. These two squads not only made it past the group stage while fielding entirely APAC rosters, but also secured upsets against top-tier teams like G2 Esports and BDS. Unfortunately, fate has them clashing in the quarterfinals, ensuring that only one APAC representative will make it to the semifinals. Regardless of outcome, their performances highlight the growing depth and strength of the APAC scene in the Siege X era.

Elevate vs Wildcard Gaming [May 16, 6:30 pm CET | 9:30 am PT]

Elevate came into RE:L0:AD 2025 under a cloud of controversy, but that didn’t stop them from securing third place. With a roster full of veterans and proven talent, they navigated a tough group stage with resilience, even if their form wasn’t flawless. The playoffs now offer the perfect chance to polish their edges and prove they still belong at the top. Meanwhile, Wildcard have surprised many by stepping up against legacy teams like G2 and SSG. Once held back by nerves, they’ve shown that confidence is no longer the issue, and only skill matters now, and they’ve got plenty of it.

w7m esports vs Team Falcons [May 16, 10 pm CET | 1 pm PT]

After acquiring the full French superteam from BDS, Team Falcons maintained their reputation for building star-studded rosters. Their qualification for the RE:L0:AD 2025 playoffs was no surprise, but their group stage run left some doubts. While they secured wins over Wildcard and FEARX, they struggled against stronger like LOUD. With their stacked lineup, expectations remain high, but they’ll need more than just star power to make a deep run.

On the other side, w7m Esports continue to prove themselves as one of Brazil’s most consistent forces in Rainbow Six Siege. Despite being a relatively young organization, their performances speak volumes. And when it comes to Falcons, the rivalry is deeply personal. This w7m squad has a long-standing history with the former BDS core, and every matchup is a chance to settle old scores. With playoff stakes now added to the mix, this quarterfinal clash is bound to be intense.

LOUD vs FURIA [May 17, 1:30 am CET | May 16, 1:30 pm PT]

FURIA Esports and LOUD are set to face off for the first time in Rainbow Six Siege, closing out the day’s playoff action with what promises to be its most explosive matchup. While this is their debut encounter in Siege, their rivalry is anything but new. As two of Brazil’s biggest esports organizations, FURIA and LOUD have a history of clashing across titles like VALORANT, League of Legends, and Kings League Brazil. Their matches are never just about the game; they’re about pride, fan loyalty, and bragging rights. That passion now spills into the Siege X competitive format, where both teams are eager to prove dominance in yet another title. Adding to the intensity, this showdown will unfold in front of a live Brazilian crowd, raising the stakes even higher.


As Rainbow Six Siege X: RE:L0:AD 2025 heads into its playoff phase, the stakes have never been higher. With rivalries reignited, regions clashing, and legacies on the line, the upcoming matches promise to deliver the drama, strategy, and spectacle that the Siege X competitive format was built for. Whether it's veteran powerhouses, rising stars, or regional giants, each team has something to prove, but only one can claim the title of Siege X's inaugural champion.
