RIYADH: Team BDS won the European section of the Gamers Without Borders “Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege” event, organized by the Saudi Esports Federation.
The team won the $300,000 top prize at the GWB contest, the world’s largest charitable esports event, after four days of action.
They beat WYLDE 3-2 in the grand final, following their 2-1 win over MNM Gaming in the semifinal. Beaten finalists WYLDE overcame Wolves Esports 2-1 in their semifinal but failed to get the better of the champions in an exhilarating GWB matchup.
Elsewhere, in the North American GWB “Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege” section, M80 were the victors after powering past past DarkZero 3-2 in the grand final; while Ninjas in Pyjamas recorded the same scoreline over Team Liquid to claim South American success.
