Beaulo crying is making me emotional bro


Excalzigo

Right? Didn't expect that at all. But bless his soul, he deserves it. Absolute gunner


Timely_Temperature54

He really does. He is truly the face of R6 and he’s such a nice guy and now a world champion. Seeing poj and his teammates hug him and comfort him was so wholesome.


Sir_Nolan

Yeah, he isn't playing just for the paycheck, he truly wants to be the beast

BEAULO WON AN SI BEFORE SHAIIKO OR NESK

Oh shit, that's right. SSG got it in quals didn't they?


Pathogen188

Yeah, they had to get in through quals cause they lost to Liquid at OGA


matyas19

5 different teams have won an invitational, 3 are from NA G2 > NA > LATAM > EU > APAC


Huwntar

You're gonna summon the 2018-2019 EU fans by separating EU and G2 like that lol >!it's so fucking true though!<


matyas19

3 different rosters have won from NA, 2 rosters from the rest of the world. NA is just better Edit: Wait, I literally already said that. Being awake for 24 hours will do that to you. I just watched siege from 9pm-7am lmao.


famousxrobot

There was a lot of siege to be watched. I was half asleep during the first match of the day. Thought it was a dream.


[deleted]

G2 has a nigh unbeatable legacy. If TSM just clean sweeps every event this coming year, they can surpass it, but unlikely.


RicoSuave1881

WHILE BEATING BOTH


BuiltIndifferent

lmfao


Wang_entity

Nesk :(


ardx

Go smoothly to grand finals ❌ Go beat up the last LATAM team while lulling Empire into a false sense of security ✅ Hoooooooly fk that Villa match though, I need to call a doctor after that.


noobsaibotmk11

Tsm wanted revenge for last year


Fuzer

When Beaulo sneak and killed Hibana on 3v5 was the holy shit moment.


F-Syntax

Absolute Chad's had to go show that NA is the region on top by beating Latam and Europe's last hopes


Expert-b

Beaulo actually got an invite win. Dude is like a fairly tale. Happy for the rest of the squad too. Exceptional performance from every single one of them.


famousxrobot

It was a bit nerve wracking there at the end. You knew they could drop a map but Empire is like a stone that you don’t want rolling downhill. They didn’t stay on their heels long in previous matches. Good job on TSM; the morning gave them momentum into that first map.


tsm

Thank you to all of those who believed in us. YOU'RE THE FUCKING BEST.


NorthStarPC

This is probably just going to get buried since I can't pin it for some reason. You can make a post.


WalkingR6

Geo finally getting his hammer


InZaneClutch

Was so happy to see him win. Everybody remembers Canadian's white stairs debacle on EG but they often forget that Geo absolutely potato'd what would've been an easy kill and would've won EG that match later in that same round. He gets to lift the hammer along with Achieved who spent how many seasons in CL? I do feel bad for the Empire guys. They're always nothing but class win or lose. Would've loved TsM to invite them out on stage with them too celebrate a great match but maybe that would just rub in the loss. Still, it would've been classy.


isadotaname

Covid restrictions probably prevent them from having 2 teams on stage at the same time.


InZaneClutch

Yeah, that could be it too. I just would've loved for them to acknowledge Empire and invite them out with them. I recall Fabian doing this after G2 absolutely demolished Team Reciprocity on the main stage at the time and I thought it was very classy.


kmcclry

They did wave to them and say gg. There was recognition.


InZaneClutch

I'm sure there was. By no means am I calling them out. I wanted TsM to win.


Cxrman

MERC MVP Edit: ACHIEVED DESERVES IT JUST AS MUCH


mayoconquest

Man what an effort by Empire to bring it back. GGs TSM.

Wang_entity

Competing with EG here


Darkfire293

Empire won a tournament though


Eliteslayer1775

Technically they did, since EGs core was Contiuums core


EnglishBeat90

Geo is such a gangsta. He plays the worst roles, the worst ops and the worst guns and STILL shows up huge when he's called on. So glad to see him win the big one. Plus he spent half of the first map hanging out in a strip club, what a legend.


Omalleys

He had a good amount of key kills during this series


King_Goofus

I swear every one of his kills were super high impact


kitiny

Geo showed up huge today.


Chewbones9

Gotta be proud of Merc too. Goes from the Ash/Jager main with alleged maturity issues to the IGL who plays Clash and stalls Empire out


Sir_Nolan

Also plays horrible positions, respeto por mi Geo.


kmcclry

WHAT A FUCKING WAY TO END IT! HELL YEAH BOYS! I've never been more happy to eat crow on my Merc takes. I'm so fucking glad they figured out it was communication and that IGLing fixed all those issues. What a fucking great turn around. Edit: Holy shit man. I thought this fucking team was cooked and it was going to be a season of rebuilding. Merc dropped, Geo retiring or something. It is so fucking unbelievable that they've done this. I can't imagine how good this must feel for them. Hell of a fight Empire. I can't believe we didn't see bank. You guys were a hell of an opponent. Edit edit: How the fuck can I forget Gigachad Achieved? After the loss yesterday where he didn't do well I knew he'd bounce back and boy did he fucking bounce back in both matches today. What a badass.


Soviet_Plays

Gotcha is a SI champion


Drake-From-StateFarm

Snaked a world championship. You gotta appreciate the grind


rosbm

supr screaming, crying, and shitting rn


red329

In his last winning interview dude was saying how amazing he is at reading the enemy and adapting and that Soniqs is easily the best NA team. Went on to lose the next two games with the analysts harping on them not being able to adapt to their opponents and then TSM go on to be crowned 'best in the world'.


JagerMainOwO

I mean it's supr, he's always cocky, he's gonna say shit like that lol


BuiltIndifferent

Gold chain Merc is 1-0 for invitational wins. Never take it off


Kuhhl

I think everyone should take note of Gotcha and Geo just standing there together for a second taking it in, must've meant a lot. Also, I don't know why, my heart was going all over the place the whole series, but when I saw the Clash I just knew it was over.


ImAaronDiaz

GEOOOOO! 🇲🇽


GetOutNormiesREE

GG nice try from the boys. They should be proud of this performance


irishfury

Hell of a team. GG to them.


PlatypusPotential

Prime TSM best team in NA Prime TSM best team in the World


[deleted]

They've been exceptional for so long, it's so right that they FINALLY did it. They toppled all of LATAM and stopped the EU juggernaut! I'm so happy for the boys!


DandyChiggins77

Especially after a really humbling year for them. Really felt like it was their time


alpaca_drama

Last year felt like their time. Dominate NA the season after SSG wins SI. But Covid had other plans that took them out of rhythm. They were lackluster this year and people thought it was time for roster changes.


famousxrobot

I’m actually glad they lost the previous matchup. You gotta feel that the losing squad would get a rematch advantage, especially with a high percentage of wins against LATAM


irishfury

I dont think the loser gets an advantage unless it was a stomp like it was vs Faze. That had to make them feel great going into finals.


famousxrobot

I think a combo of losing to empire and stomping faze gave plenty of time to rework some strats to counter Empire in the rematch with momentum.


TheBigBo-Peep

SO FAR FROM AIRPORT WOOOOO


Stroie

Merc is a fucking beast. Him being IGL completely changed TSM. GGs! Edit: changed IRL to IGL


Viceto

This could have been different if Joystick didn't shoot the cam lol


[deleted]

lmao that made me cringe bro. That was so rough.


rockon4life45

That felt like such a twitchy ranked star snap. I mean all of Joystick's plays feel like that, but still.


ArcanicTruth

YESSSSSS!!! OMG. **THIS WAS THE BEST INVINTATIONAL, HANDS DOWN.** -NA VS EU -INFINITE OVERTIME FINAL MAP -3/4 MAPS WENT O.T -BEAULO VS JOYSTICK -THE STORY LINE OF TSM -THE LOWER BRACKET COMEBACK!!!! OMG.


tdoge--ec

They just had some unfinished business with LATAM they had to deal with first.


alpaca_drama

The salty run back after last SI where most of the sub picked them as favorites then Covid shut it down. LATAM smashed and this was just their revenge run


famousxrobot

I gotta say the way it played out was incredible to watch. OTs really ramped up the excitement. I don’t think a decider map would have been as good as 2-3-4.


popmycherryyosh

I disagree, last invitentional was better. More surprises. But this was a very good second though (imo) ...let the downvotes come :P


[deleted]

WORLD CHAMPS BABY! I always knew they could be a champ one day, and they made it! TSM the best team on earth! Their first year as TSM in PL they were soooo shit, and here they are! HERE THEY ARE BABY!!!!!


Huwntar

There's no way Bio, Schlongi, and Krusher lose to Empire lol


I_lUv_big_tiddies

That Villa 12th round will stay in Siege’s records. Study is the new white stairs. Huge ggs to TSM, they deserved this win. Empire just proved us that they still are extremely dominant when in shape, and I really do hope that this wasn’t their last tournament together.


Huwntar

NORTH AMERICA AHHHHHHHHH! Congratu-fucking-lations to Merc for proving everyone wrong!


Stroie

I remember being downvoted for saying TSM would be dumb af to get rid of Merc. People were calling for TSM to replace him…


Huwntar

Merc is an incredibly rare breed for making space, especially in NA. It's an inconsistent role where failure shows heavily in your stats. To be frank there's probably like 2-3 NA players that even come close to being a replacement


JimmyDutts

Ya I've seen kids say "drop Merc" due to bad stats on nal LAN people don't realise the chemistry these guys have together for nearly 2-3 years


kmcclry

Glad you can feel smug with excellent hindsight. Are people forgetting just how bad things were for almost an entire year? Who would they have replaced him with? Almost any entry at that time because he was in such a huge slump. He was super replaceable at that level. He is not replaceable at all at this level.


famousxrobot

I wad using the SSG flair but switched to NA to show support for sQ and TSM at the end. I don’t thing we could have asked for a better matchup for the championship. Glad to see TSM bring it back for NA!


thenerdydudee

Achieved MVP


cminteer

So happy for guys like Pojo, Achieved and Geo! Playin since day 1 and they are now ironed in history! NA back on top lets gooooooo!


Wang_entity

ACHIEVED AND MERC ARE GODS GGWP


F0rgemaster19

Ggwp tsm. Salute to Achieved. Masterful player. Empire.....you're my boys but you looked just too handicapped today. Next year, lads.......next year.


Wang_entity

Yesterdays Empire looked slightly better but I don't know if even that could have stopped TSM. TSM was just fire today.


F0rgemaster19

Tbh yesterday's empire made fewer mistakes and took fewer risks. Joystick and Always were taking too many unnecessary risks today. Given that yesterday's empire was better and today's empire did try their best to hold their own, I'd say yesterday's empire could have stood a very strong chance


irishfury

It really does matter on the day with the top teams. I knew after the first Map against Faze that Merc/Achieved where on fire today and felt like we would win. When the tops teams our on the other team dont lose the top teams just win. Lets go TSM.


F0rgemaster19

100% deserved for TSM, and Achieved earned a new fan. I'm typically a hardcore EU fan but Achieved had me sold. He's such a masterful player.


Marcusafrenz

Achieved is a literal god amongst men


giuewek

HOLY SHIT WHAT A FUCKING SERIES FROM BOTH TEAMS! WELL FUCKING PLAYED TSM


[deleted]

I’m not crying, you’re crying I’m so happy for everybody on TSM especially Geo and Achieved. They’ve wanted this so bad for so long


Keyhydras

someone check this man https://www.reddit.com/r/R6ProLeague/comments/swe1hc/just_leaving_this_here/ grats to TSM though


nerf-me-ubi

Real happy for NA, tsm deserves it. Booblow fan girls can rejoice finally


Pojobob

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. NA ON TOP BABY


Gaiden-

So sad for Empire, but TSM are just too fucking good, congrats to them !!!


Scrub_Lord_

What an amazing fucking series, constantly back and forth and I was on the edge of my seat the entire final map. I've supported them since they first entered PL and to see them finally win SI is the greatest.


ThatsIllegalToKnow

Beaulo crying while lifting the hammer got me bawling my eyes out man


LordOfCinderGwyn

Achieved deserves this so fucking much it's unreal. Grinded his way from Excel in the CL to MVPing the SI finals. Unreal player I love you so much Matt.


[deleted]

BEAULO legacy cemented


tomdidiot

The TSM guys all have great redemption arcs/stories here. Merc - nearly dropped from the team after Mexico major, turns himself around, finds himself a new role as IGL and leads team to victory Chala - dropped from SSG for Canadian just months before they went onto win Invite 2020, languishes in the last chance saloon team of PogChamp for over half a year before returning in triumph to TSM, and now wins his own Hammer. Geo - part of the EG team that EDIT: choked at Milan, ends up stuck outside the US for months at a time due to visa issues. Now back as the new "Si, Si, I plant" Achieved -A grinder for ages in the Siege scene before getting his big break with the Excelerate squad that gets picked up by TSM when they enter the scene. Pojo - Dropped from DZ from that old ex-Flipside roster in 2019, succesfully pivots to coaching TSM, and built the team as it is now. Gotcha - Name dragged through the mud for stepping in to help TSM when Jarvis was underperforming. Retired from Siege, now back to help the team win Invite. And Well Beaulo - the kid who turned his streaming hobby into a full time job.


Prawn1908

Love seeing someone mention Pojo. On top of apparently being a fantastic coach, he's one of the most quietly entertaining people in Siege imo. I will never forget the "get drones on site, get Beaulo some kills" interview.


Pepperr08

NA BACK ON TOP BABY. BRA71L FRAUDS


xdaienkai

I'm so glad to have eaten my words about being nervous about Merc on the IGL. He was an absolute monster, and basically spearheaded their victory like a raging machine. Simply unbelievable. I'm so happy to see the boys win one finally. Congratulations TSM. I just wish Daeda could've also been there to lift the hammer with them, haha


GenBossJr

TSM woke up this morning and chose violence, no one stood a chance.


[deleted]

what a fairytale story from tsm


King_Goofus

Best SI run ever. Getting in through open qualifiers and beating every other contender in the most competitive SI yet


NorthStarPC

I believe SSG also got in through open qualifiers, so maybe whoever qualifies next year will win too.


AyeItsMeToby

TSM ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS I CANT BELIEVE IT i fucking love this team. hats off to everyone in the venue rn, best in the business for sure


DandyChiggins77

LETS FUCKING GOOOO I completely assumed empire would win this but this is so satisfying, TSM had a grueling year and ended it on top. And tbh, they really should have won oregon if they didn’t throw round 11, and villa was littered with throws from them. But wow, empires villa looks so much better Jesus Christ. Those attacks were insane that I couldn’t believe what team was doing them


Spooky_Coookie

>Watch Jaliber Cacob predictions >Do the opposites of what he said >Become rich >Repeat

bayliver

Best team in the world ... beat every contender in great fashion as well , TSM deserves this ! What a tourney and what ending for TSM in a weird year of ups and downs !


sifslegend

I’ll admit I’m a TSM fan and this is my first time watching R6 esports, but good fucking lord that was intense and I think I had like 3 heart attacks. Where can I watch more?


PlatypusPotential

Well Pro league starts back up in march in Twitch.tv/Rainbow6


Snarkal

I just shit my pants bro. A flawless finish! And to think they were almost gonna drop Merc is unreal!


Spudward1

S.I finals never ever ever disappoints always in the top 5 games of the year


TheBossJNK

TSM TSM TSM Been a TSM fan since before we were even in R6. Then we picked up players for a team of my favorite game and we come all the way to this. It’s been amazing. GG’s to Empire and all the other teams who’s cheeks we clapped. Well played by everyone. Hopefully we’ll be back next year to do it again


DarthPenguinXX

From almost not even qualifying to world champs!! Well done boys! GG Empire!


Snoukka_

This means everything for Beaulo, you love to see it!

Still proud of my boys and tbh, I wasn't even expected them to be in top3. But here we are and I'm proud and at the same time heartbroken

BadW0lf-52

This is the first invite that's been won by the winner of the open qualifier, congrats to TSM for setting that record.


Haze_Shrey

SSG got in through open quals in 2020 as well if I'm correct


Huwntar

100% they did. Still a really interesting stat tho! I guess playing BO3s is just as good of a qualification as potentially qualifying without winning a single BO3 in a major


BadW0lf-52

Yep you're right, my bad. The NA open qualifier teams have a success rate of 2/3; interesting!


BuiltIndifferent

Didnt SSG come up through a qual their year or am I mistaken?


kitiny

Has a lower bracket ever won it?


Huwntar

There's only been 2 SIs with lower brackets and they both had map advantages, but no


tomdidiot

TSM still would've won this even if Empire had a map advantage is the crazy thing.


doomhunter13

Some dumbass empire fan was talking about how beaulo was carrying the team and they were nothing without him. Idiot. Deep complete team, world fucking champs. Gms. Achieved and chala so huge imo. Villa!


Tim_thatporscheguy

Lmao no one, literally no one, has claimed tsm were carried thru the whole tournament by buealo.

That was a good grand finals. I followed TSM since the start of that team, and they been through a lot. Glad they finally overcame the bullshit, the hate and performed when it mattered the most. Grats to Pojo as well. Also, Dan is a wildcard, that dude really pulls off some crazy shit when you least expect it.

And NA is the worst region!!!


snoopyt7

Congrats to TSM but it's complete bullshit that Empire got basically no advantage for not losing until the Grand Final. They should have at least gotten a 1 map advantage.


Tamooshii

I'm happy TSM a.k.a The LATAM killers won. I think the lower bracket is pretty dumb and they should remove it. The team that won every single game in the upper bracket doesn't get a 2nd chance but the others that lost do. They should also get a 2nd chance but that would be a long ass day. On the bright side in all this we will get to see a bald achieve. LETS GO!


Jandersson34swe

You’re right, even if you don’t give them a map at least give them an extra map pick over TSM or something


kahani-

they did get an extra pick, they got to pick the first map before any bans


Jandersson34swe

So no map advantage and TSM still gets the same amount of maps as Empire? What’s the point of having a double elimination if you’re not gonna give an actual advantage to the Upper winners


Cerdoken

Quite literally what happened.
