TSM and Spacestation Gaming are already locked for the Major, but they’re still competing for first place. With a 6-0-0-2 record, TSM are two points ahead of Spacestation Gaming, who are 4-2-0-2, meaning that SSG need to win in regulation if they wish to pass TSM.
This is a match between the strongest North American Rainbow Six Siege teams and two organisations with somewhat of a rivalry. They regularly clash for the top regional spot, and they even met in the 2020 Six Invitational upper-bracket finals when SSG came out ahead 2-1 and won the whole thing.
Across 17 head-to-head meetings dating back to 2019, TSM have won nine series (9-1-7) but just one of their most recent four – in July, during NAL Stage 2 (8-6). Admittedly, TSM have looked better in Stage 3 and perhaps should be favoured, but we couldn’t count out SSG. This should be a close affair, so we’ll take over 11.5 rounds.

MIRAGE vs SONIQS R6S BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Mirage $2.37 at Betway | Soniqs $1.53 at Betway |

Mirage have been performing admirably well, going from a team that consistently finished bottom six to a squad that might make the Major. They’re not quite there yet, but with a 4-0-3-1 record and 15 points, Mirage just need a single point, and they’re in the clear.
Their next opponents, Soniqs are 5-0-0-3 with 15 points and a +8 round difference, which is good enough to sit above Mirage in the standings. And just like Mirage, they need at least one point to secure a top-four finish or hope that Astralis don’t defeat Oxygen Esports.
Mirage and Soniqs last met during NAL Stage 2 in July, when Mirage claimed their second head-to-head victory (7-5) and first since April 2021. Moreover, Mirage are in better shape ahead of the final playday, with just one loss from their last five – in contrast to Soniqs, who have won just one game over the same stretch.
The esports betting sites have Soniqs as the favourites, which isn’t too crazy, knowing that their ceiling is much higher. But we haven’t seen enough from Soniqs to bet on them at the offered price. The value is with Mirage.
Mirage to win
ASTRALIS vs OXYGEN ESPORTS R6S BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Astralis $1.61 at Betway | Oxygen $2.20 at Betway |

Astralis need to defeat Oxygen Esports and hope that the Mirage vs Soniqs match doesn’t go into overtime to qualify for Six Jönköping Major 2022. It might happen; however, most will fall on the result of the Mirage vs Soniqs match, which will be known by the time Astralis play.
Still, even if Astralis are eliminated from the Major contention, we wouldn’t count on them to just give in and lose, especially not against Oxygen Esports, who have looked very weak during this stage. Of eight games played, Oxygen have won just three, but two of their wins came last week when Oxygen beat Soniqs (7-5) and DarkZero (7-2).
Astralis put together the same perfect record with wins against XSET (7-3) and Soniqs (7-3), so the two squads look fairly evenly matched. We expect Astralis to win, but Oxygen have shown enough improvement for us to believe that they can keep it close. Take Oxygen Esports with a 1.5-round advantage at even odds with Betway.
Oxygen Esports +1.5 rounds
