Wildcard Rainbow Six is back. The North American League returns for Stage 2 on September 4th. With Head Coach Lagonis officially on a contract extension through the end of the year, we’ve secured the leadership and stability needed to guide us through the coming months. This extension isn’t just about continuity, it represents belief in our process, belief in our roster, and belief in what we are building.
Our roster enters Stage 2 with the perfect blend of youth and experience, striking a balance that keeps us competing at the highest level. Rising talents Bae, bbySharKK, and Spiker, the league’s youngest IGL, continue to grow into their roles with confidence. Alongside them, seasoned leaders D4sh and Kansen provide stability and knowledge that only years of high level play can bring. RELOAD and Stage 1 taught us valuable lessons about where we stand and what needs to improve.
In RELOAD at Rio we had a dominant 4-1 Group Stage finish followed by a quarter finals win & semi finals appearance in playoffs where we ultimately placed 3rd-4th. Stage 1 ended with a 4-5 record and a 5th place finish. Our sights are set higher going into Stage 2, the team has been sharpening their approach, tightening communication, and building the chemistry needed to succeed.
September brings the return of competition and with it a schedule built for battles, storylines, and momentum. Every stage offers its own unique challenges, but the intensity of this one feels especially important for our roster. We are eager to step into the spotlight again, confident that the progress made behind the scenes will shine on game day. The Group Phase ignites with our first match versus Shopify Rebellion on September 4 and runs through September 26, before a short break leading into playoffs. Wildcard fans should circle October 8–11 on their calendars for the playoff stage.
Group Stage: September 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, 24th, 25th, and 26th.
Playoffs: October 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th
From the opening clash to the super week and playoffs, every gameday will test our resilience. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about proving that Wildcard is here to stay and belongs in the conversation among the best. With experience anchoring us and young talent driving us forward, this Wildcard Rainbow Six roster is ready to make Stage 2 unforgettable. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and excited to show the results when the lights come on. Stay up to date on NAL Stage 2 and check out additional content on our platforms below:
