R6 North America League 2025 Stage 2 Playoffs Betting Tips – Wednesday, October 8

Rainbow Six Siege North America League 2025 Stage 2 playoffs kick off on Wednesday, October 8. Featuring six of the region’s top squads, the knockout stage will begin with Spacestation Gaming taking on Wildcard, followed by a clash between Shopify Rebellion and DarkZero. Below are our free Rainbow Six Siege tips and betting predictions for the opening games of the NAL Stage 2 playoffs.

SPACESTATION GAMING vs WILDCARD

• SSG -138.89 at GG.Bet | WC +100 at GG.Bet

Spacestation Gaming exited the group stage in a respectable fourth place, with 15 points and a 5-0-0-4 record. Wildcard finished one spot behind, in fifth with 14 points and a 4-0-2-3 record.

Despite failing to surpass SSG, Wildcard completed their group run with a 3-1 record, including victories against STANDBY LFO, Team Cruelty, and Cloud9. Spacestation Gaming managed a 2-2 record over the last four rounds; however, they had to play tougher teams.

Having had to deal with a more challenging schedule, Alec “Fultz” Fultz and his crew deserve some slack. However, it is fair to argue that the top R6S betting sites should not have them priced as favourites.

Wildcard have momentum on their side and are 4-0 up in the head-to-head since RE:L0:AD 2025. That includes a 2-0 sweep in NAL Stage 1 and a comfortable 7-2 victory at the start of September.

SHOPIFY REBELLION vs DARKZERO

• SR -188.68 at GG.Bet | DZ +137 at GG.Bet
• When: October 8, 2025 | 13:30 PDT
• Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/rainbow6)

DarkZero last met with Shopify Rebellion at the start of September, when they lost in overtime 7-8. It marked their second head-to-head defeat after going 1-1 in Stage 1 with a 5-7 loss and a 2-1 victory in the playoffs.

Shopify Rebellion had a solid run through the group stage, with a 4-2-1-2 record. On the other side, DarkZero barely finished above the cutoff line, with a 3-1-1-4 record and 12 points.

More worrying is DarkZero’s inconsistency in the final few rounds, with a win against ENVY and Wildcard and two losses against STANDBY LFO and Spacestation Gaming.

Shopify Rebellion have proven to be more consistent, but they also had a small setback with a 3-7 defeat against Spacestation Gaming in the penultimate round.

The last three clashes between DarkZero and Shopify Rebellion have been competitive, and there is little to suggest this will play out any differently. While Troy “Canadian” Jaroslawski and his men look more stable, they are overrated at -188.68.
