Ubisoft has revealed the Rainbow Six Siege X creators that will compete in the showmatch during the 2026 Six Invitational.

Two teams of five will go head-to-head on February 15th at 9:45 AM ET, with one team comprising France’s top creators, and the other featuring streamers and influencers from the rest of the world.

Team France consists of Nicolas ‘Oneshooter‘ Joachim, Julian ‘ENEMY‘ Blin, ‘Valkja‘, ‘KOP_TV‘, and Kévin ‘Whiteshark67‘ Henriques.

Team Rest of the World, on the other hand, includes Zhao ‘Tianlei‘, Tobias ‘BikiniBodhi‘ Emil André, ‘Narcoleptic Nugget‘, Jason ‘Beaulo‘ Doty, and ‘Jenz‘.

Many recognisable faces will appear in the showmatch. BikiniBhodi and Narcoleptic Nugget are some of the most popular creators in the Rainbow Six Siege X scene, with millions of subscribers between them. Whiteshark67 is also known as one of the biggest Rainbow Six Siege X French influencers.

Former professional players will also partake in the showmatch. ENEMY is a retired Rainbow Six Siege X player known for his 2022 run with Ascend. Lastly, Beaulo, a former DarkZero and TSM player, joins the tournament after retiring from the scene for the second time in his career.

While the format of the creator tournament has yet to be confirmed, it may transpire similarly to the showmatch from last year’s Six Invitational, which featured a best-of-one game.

What is the 2026 Six Invitational?

The 2026 Six Invitational is the annual crowning event of the Rainbow Six Siege X esports scene.

Running from February 2nd to 15th, the top 20 qualified teams will compete in Paris, France, for the lion’s share of a $3m (~£2.2m) prize pool.

As of writing, teams have been divided into four pools for the Group Stage. The orgsanisations will compete against one another in these groups to secure as many wins as possible.

The top four teams from each group will move on to the Playoffs, and will be seeded based on their performance.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
