As well as having a record number of teams, the Copenhagen Major will also be the first Rainbow Six Siege event run by the tournament organizer BLAST, the longest tournament to date with 12 days of play, and will have the largest prize pool of any Six Major at $750,000.

This article will be updated with scores as they happen to help you keep up to date with all the tournament’s action. The games will be streamed on the Rainbow Six Twitch and Rainbow Six Esports YouTube channels.

Format

Major tournaments have been expanded upon for 2023, with 24 teams invited compared to the previous number of 16. This has led to the first significant format change in the tournament’s history, with an initial play-in stage occurring before the main event. 

From Monday, April 24 to Thursday, April 27, 16 lower-seeded teams will compete across four double-elimination brackets. The top two in each group will progress to the playoffs, where they will meet the top-eight teams who skipped this tournament’s first phase.

The remaining 16 will play in a five-day Swiss tournament from Saturday, April 29 to Wednesday, May 3. Here, teams will be matched against opponents with the same win rate as their own, with the top eight advancing to the Finals stage.
