The Upper Bracket Final of the Six Invitational 2025 is set to be a thrilling clash as Team BDS and FURIA battle for a spot in the Grand Finals. Both teams dominated their groups in the Group Stage and continued their strong form through the playoffs.

While the losing team won’t be eliminated, a win here means a direct ticket to the Grand Finals, while the loser will have to fight their way through the Lower Bracket Final for a possible rematch.

Journey So Far

Both teams entered the playoffs with momentum, having topped their respective groups. However, their paths to the Upper Bracket Final have been quite different.

FURIA entered the playoffs with only one loss in the Group Stage—a shocking upset against CAG Osaka in their opening match. However, they bounced back in dominant fashion, sweeping Team Secret, Shopify Rebellion, and rivals FaZe Clan without dropping a single map.

In the playoffs, they continued their flawless run, dismantling DarkZero and RazaH Company Academy in 2-0 victories. The reigning Six Invitational champions (back when this core won under w7m) look nearly unstoppable, and it will take something special to bring them down.

While BDS also finished first in their group, their journey was far from smooth. With two wins and two close losses, they narrowly edged out RazaH Company Academy for the top seed, thanks to round differential. Their defeats—against DarkZero and PSG Talon—raised concerns about their form.

However, once in the playoffs, BDS rediscovered their groove, taking down Unwanted and Spacestation Gaming. While they dropped a map in both series, they showed resilience under pressure. Still, questions remain: can BDS regain their once-unshakable form in time to overcome the Brazilian giants?

Players to Watch

FURIA – Diego "Kheyze" Zanello

FURIA’s Kheyze has been one of the tournament’s standout performers, maintaining an impressive 1.28 rating across six matches. Despite a slow start against CAG Osaka, he has been a consistent fragging force for his team. His ability to dominate rounds will be crucial in this matchup.

BDS – Théo "LikEfac" Mariano

For BDS, LikEfac remains their rock. With a 1.09 rating, his numbers might not match Kheyze’s, but his ability to clutch rounds in high-pressure situations is second to none. If BDS wants to pull off an upset, they’ll need LikEfac at his absolute best.

Prediction

With both teams coming into this matchup in strong form, expect a closely contested battle. However, FURIA’s superior consistency and incredible firepower give them the slight edge. While BDS has the potential to pull off a surprise, we’re predicting a FURIA victory.
