Gaming furniture brand Blacklyte has been named the desk and chair sponsor of the Six Invitational 2026 tournament.
The partnership will see Blacklyte’s products be used on stage during matches and displayed in a booth for fans to test out during the crowning event.
The Blacklyte Athena Pro Gaming Chair Rainbow Six variation and the Atlas Lite Desk will be used by players on-stage during the Phase Three Finals, which run from February 13th to 15th, 2026. As a result, the products may appear in online-watch parties featured on Rainbow Six esports socials.

What is the Six Invitational 2026?
Organised by developer Ubisoft and esports brand BLAST, the Six Invitational 2026 is the world championship for Rainbow Six Siege X. The Six Invitational marks the end of the season and kicks off Year 11 for the tactical shooter game.
The top 20 qualified teams gather to decide the new champion among them, competing for the lion’s share of its $3m (~£2.2m) prize pool. Teams include defending champions FaZe Clan, alongside Munich Major winners M80, and other recognisable teams such as Team Falcons.
The tournament enters its final stage, where the last remaining teams compete for a place in the Grand Finals. As of writing, top teams such as M80, G2 Esports, and Spacestation Gaming have been knocked out of the competition.
