Here's a look at all of the matches played so far in the first day of Phase 2 action in Montreal:
Team Falcons 0-2 Virtus.pro
Check out the match stats of the game between Team Falcons and Virtus.pro here.
After going 3-1 in Montreal's Phase 2 fans were excited about Team Falcons' first stage performance in a BLAST R6 Major. The MENA League side would play against Virtus.pro, one of the most experienced rosters in Rainbow Six Siege's competitive scene.
Despite having had a better Phase 2 record, Team Falcons ended up losing the series after the Russians won on Chalet and Kafe Dostoyevsky. Although it only took Virtus.pro two maps to defeat their opponents, it's worth mentioning that both maps reached overtime.
With a SiegeGG rating of 1.20 and an entry balance of 7-5 (+2) the Russian cyborg Danil "JoyStiCK" Gabov led the Bears to their first win on an international stage since the Six Invitational 2024. Meanwhile, Fayez "Jlad" Jallad was Team Falcons' best player with a SiegeGG rating of 1.04.
FaZe Clan 2-0 Soniqs

Although Soniqs' players tried to get back on track, the Brazilians reached match point after an Eduardo "KDS" Chiste clutch on round nine. After saving one match point, the red roster closed out the map with a 7-4 win.
Eventually, despite playing on Soniqs' map pick, FaZe Clan knocked out the North American roster of the BLAST R6 Major Montreal after a flawless win on Bank.
Overall, Eduardo "KDS" Chiste was the best player in the series with a SiegeGG rating of 1.65. Meanwhile, Soniqs' only player with a positive SiegeGG rating was Pablo "Gryxr" Rebeil, with a rating of 1.04.
Following this victory, the Brazilians will play against the winners of the match between Team BDS and Team Secret, which will be the third game of the day.
