LOUD vs. SuperNova Team Prediction on January 16, 2026

Match info

Before the main Six Invitational (SI) event in Paris – the annual world championship for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege X (R6X), widely recognized as the pinnacle event in the Ubisoft tactical shooter game’s competitive calendar – regions that haven’t already secured automatic qualification must battle through Regional Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQs). These are double-elimination tournaments that grant one final SI spot per region. The South America LCQ is especially intense, as this region has become one of the most tactical and unpredictable R6X regions, with a high emphasis on disciplined defaults and macro play.

This LOUD vs SuperNova Team bo3 match takes place in the upper bracket quarterfinals, meaning the winner moves one step closer to securing the final regional ticket to the Six Invitational 2026. A loss doesn’t immediately eliminate a team due to the double-elimination format, but it does make the path significantly harder.

The LOUD vs sN showdown is scheduled for Friday, January 16, 2026, at 22:00 Brasília Time (BRT) — the standard competitive time zone for most South American R6X matches. The Six Invitational 2026: South America LCQ is an online regional qualifier — teams compete remotely from their respective controlled setups rather than at a centralized live arena. The matches are officially hosted under Ubisoft’s South America LCQ umbrella, with standardized server conditions to maintain fairness.

Meeting statistics

Current form and & playstyle: LOUD

LOUD carry a significant legacy in Brazilian eSports, not just in Rainbow Six Siege but across multiple titles — the organization’s size, infrastructure, and high-profile presence give them a brand recognition advantage. In Siege, LOUD’s SI attempt has been a rollercoaster: they finished around mid-table in the South American Regional Finals and missed direct qualification, meaning they enter the LCQ hungry and with a point to prove.

On the server, LOUD tend to favor a disciplined tactical identity built around structured defaults and positional play. Their lineup often emphasizes methodical coordination over flashy individual aggression. With experienced shot-callers and a tendency to control pace, LOUD are capable of executing heavy utility plays and disciplined map control. However, they’ve at times struggled to close out rough, scrappy rounds when opponents throw unpredictable strategies at them. Their SI LCQ run reflects a blend of high potential tempered by occasional breakdowns under pressure — a team that can decisively win maps but can also be tested deeply by unorthodox play.

Current form & playstyle: SuperNova Team 

sN, by contrast, enters this fixture as the clear underdog. They come from the Tier-2 South American scene and lack the consistent showcase results LOUD has amassed. In recent matches, SuperNova’s playstyle leans toward high-risk, opportunistic aggression, willing to take on unconventional engagements and gamble on off-angle holds or surprises. This can disrupt structured teams in shorter bursts, but when faced with disciplined defaults, it sometimes leads to overextension or positional disadvantages.

SuperNova’s roster demonstrates strong individual mechanical skill on entry fragging and clutching moments, but they tend to be less consistent in long-term execution, especially on defense, where coordination and utility usage are paramount. For them, the LCQ is both a chance at a breakthrough and a real test of adapting their aggressive instincts to a strategic tempo demanded by elite competition

Head-to-head

There’s no notable recent head-to-head history between LOUD and SuperNova Team in major official R6X tournaments — their paths haven’t crossed in a meaningful, recorded competitive series prior to this LCQ fixture. That means there’s limited historical data to draw from, making this matchup somewhat strategically unknown beyond general roster recognition and form.

LOUD’s superior experience in structured league play and tier-1 match pressure gives them a theoretical edge, but the lack of direct past clashes means pre-match scouting, draft choices, and map vetoes will be especially critical.

Match analytics

Given the available odds and the competitive context, LOUD enters this match as a strong favorite. Betting markets show LOUD priced very strongly to win, with sN priced as a significant underdog.

Given LOUD’s organizational strength, disciplined playstyle, and experience in high-pressure scenarios, they are likely to win this best-of-three matchup. Their approach mitigates against the chaotic pace SuperNova often tries to force, and their tactical flexibility should give them an edge on multiple map types.
