HellRaisers disbanded last month, and there are reports which claim that their players are supposed to get picked up by Virtus.pro and Team Empire. Knowing that, it’s fair to assume that morale in Team Empire can’t be too high, and we expect that to show in their upcoming bout.
On paper, Team Empire look stronger, but the offered R6S betting odds don’t seem right. Soniqs played well at Six Sweden Major 2021 in November (9th-12th) and won the North American League 2021 Finals in December. Admittedly, they’re not one of the favourites to win the title, but Soniqs have been improving and should be at least competitive.
We don’t expect Team Empire to roll over and die, but we don’t have high expectations for them either due to the recent events. At the offered R6S betting odds, we have to side with Soniqs to kick off the Six Invitational with a win.

Even though Alec “Fultz” Fultz and co. performed well at the end of 2021, when they finished top three in the North America League 2021 Finals, Spacestation Gaming likely won’t achieve much in Sweden. And there is a good chance they might end up crashing out from the group stage.
As the reigning Six Sweden Major 2021 champions, FaZe are one of the best R6S teams globally and look like serious candidates to claim at least a top-four finish. However, they are known for having iffy moments, so we would tame our expectations.
Although their lack of consistency can make you feel concerned about FaZe’s chances to go all the way, they should do more than fine against mid-table teams such as Spacestation Gaming. It might be risky backing the Brazilians to win their first match in two months without dropping a map, but at +117, this is a bet worth taking.
