With the Rainbow Six: Siege ANZ Pro League coming to a close last night, we are excited to showcase our updated power rankings. Below our panelists will be giving their reasonings as to why each team is ranked where they are, while also featuring key results of each team that solidify their ranking.
Our Rainbow Six: Siege panelists are:
Without further ado, here is our Rainbow Six: Siege power rankings for the month of September.
“Although Australia and New Zealand is far from it's top heavy standings of previous seasons, Fnatic have once again proved themselves the Goliath of our region; securing first place in both the Six Masters and Pro League Season 10. Back of their feet after their poor performance at the Oceanic Cup, Fnatic promoted their sixth man, Speca, from his dormant position and onto the front lines; forming a revitalized Fnatic that is eager to reassert their dominance in the APAC region and shoot for a global victory."
- James “Devmarta” Stewart
Key Achievements:
“Nine months since departing their former organisation and attempting to make a name for themselves solo, Orgless have now signed with Wildcard Gaming and have joined Fnatic in being the regions second full-time professional Rainbow Six: Siege team. Despite this acquisition, they faced their two most challenging matches in their Pro League history recently; choking their series against Fnatic, which lead to two draws and then a loss-for-words map loss against Oddity Esports. It seems they found their feet after this, only dropping a single round to CryptiK in their final series of the season, where we saw flashes of the greatness that must continue to see if Wildcard are to break the APAC LAN curse and shoot for the Pro League Finals."
- James “Devmarta” Stewart
Key Achievements:
“Oddity have shown incredible signs of not only improvement, but competition. Despite narrowly missing out on the Pro League Finals, they have recently been able to take a map off Wildcard Gaming and a draw. With their latest efforts and overall haul this year, they have well and truly earned themselves third place and I’m sure will soon be knocking at the door of those above them.”
- Rob “Manic” Munday
Key Achievements:
“Mindfreak is the team to keep your eyes on for sure. With some rather impressive showings in the past three months and garnering even more LAN experience from the Six Masters, their fourth spot has been solidified. They are a team that can compete with the best and pay wreck to the rest on their best days. It will be interesting to see how they shape up next season.”
- Rob “Manic” Munday
Key Achievements:
“Ever since the inception of this Fury roster, they have really struggled to hit the form we expected from a squad with such pedigree. In recent weeks however, we have seen them take down some big names, including taking a map off of Fnatic in a glorious comeback and doing the same last night against Oddity to deny them a LAN spot. In doing so, Fury have avoided relegation.”
- Samuel “Monkeyfist” Royals
Key Achievements:
“A very tough start to the season for Sinister Gaming saw them only having one point to their name as we approached the mid-season break for the Pro League. Thanks to their draw against Wildcard Gaming, they have managed to limp their way to sixth place in the Pro League. Following some important map wins after the mid-season break, they have also earned sixth place in our rankings.”
- Samuel “Monkeyfist” Royals
Key Achievements:
“With CryptiK’s performance being quite shaky during the second half of the Pro League, they have ultimately fallen into the relegation spot, forcing them to fight through the Challenger League once again. Due to the fact the team was unable to qualify for the Six Masters and only scraped away with a head to head difference against Sinister, they sit at seventh in our power rankings.”
- Konstantin “Cthulhu” Nuridzhanyan
Key Achievements:
“Following a successful qualification into the Six Masters, this roster is now waiting for the next Challenger League season to kick off. Now that they have made some roster changes, it will be interesting to see how they shape up coming into next season.”
- Konstantin “Cthulhu” Nuridzhanyan
Key Achievements:
“AMR are an up and coming team within the region; showing potential by making it to the offline stages of the Six Masters. With these guys currently sitting at third in the LPL Challenger League, I’m excited to see what the future holds for them.”
- Alex “Skye” McCallum
Key Achievements:
“These guys have been together for sometime now, They are currently sitting in second place for the LPL Challenger League; recently showing dominant performances against Justice and Downfall. Having been one of our honourable picks in our previous set of rankings, it will be interesting to see how they shape up for the rest of their season.”
- Alex “Skye” McCallum
Key Achievements:
Now that Pro League Season 10 for Australia and New Zealand has come to a close, we won't be seeing many of these teams competing for sometime. Both Fnatic and Wildcard Gaming have made it to the Pro League Finals, so be sure to keep an eye out for them competing.
Congratulations to all the teams who have made our top ten.
