Digest of eSports events this week – VPEsports
We’ve decided to launch a small segment where we would tell you about what you can expect to see in the world of esports throughout the week. And this week is going to be particularly eventful because, starting from February 12th, we have some highly significant events taking place in various disciplines.
With a prize pool of 3 million dollars, the Six Invitational is kicking off, which is one of the most prestigious events on the Rainbow Six Siege esports calendar. Teams from all around the world will gather in São Paulo, Brazil, for a two-week tournament that is considered the unofficial World Championship of R6S.
Meanwhile, the first regional tournament for VALORANT will begin this Friday, February 16th, with the start of the VCT Americas Kickoff. The event will take place in Los Angeles, USA.
And in Dubai, matches are resuming at the ongoing BetBoom Dacha tournament, where top Dota 2 teams have already reached the final stage of the playoffs and will determine the champion among themselves.

RAINBOW SIX SIEGE: SIX INVITATIONAL
The Six Invitational is a traditional tournament that symbolizes the opening of the competitive season in R6S. Naturally, only the best of the best and those who truly shined throughout the previous year are invited here.
This year, the Six Invitational will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, marking the first time this South American country has hosted such an event and the first major Rainbow Six Siege tournament held there since 2018.
Among the participants, the team w7m esports is widely recognized and considered one of the favorites of the tournament. The top three favorites also include FaZe Clan and G2 Esports.
DOTA 2 BETBOOM DACHA DUBAI 2024
After intense games throughout the week, only eight teams remain at BetBoom Dacha Dubai, and it is these teams that will determine the champion. BetBoom Team, Gaimin Gladiators, Falcons, and Azure Ray have successfully advanced through the semifinal matches in the upper bracket and are just two wins away from the final. So, if you have free time, be sure to watch the decisive matches of the tournament. It should be very exciting.
VALORANT CHAMPIONS TOUR: AMERICAS KICKOFF
The American region will be the first of the four main VALORANT leagues to kick off its open tournament, featuring teams such as Leviatan, NRG, Sentinels, and Evil Geniuses. The winner and runner-up of the VCT Americas Kickoff will automatically qualify for the VALORANT Champions Tour Masters in Madrid, which is a highly coveted goal for each of the teams.
Leviatan is considered the favorite in this race, with NRG and Sentinels closely behind, ready to challenge them for the top spot.
Start of RMR qualifications for the first major in CS2
In Bucharest today, the battle for slots at the first-ever CS2 Major has begun. The teams from Group A have started their fight, and the matches will continue until Sunday when Group B and its 16 participants will enter the game.
We will publish a report on the first two rounds a little later, but believe me, there will be plenty of unexpected results here. The recent IEM Katowice has shown that many leaders and players are far from their best form. This can serve as a wake-up call for young teams to make their mark.
