M80 vs. Oxygen Esports Prediction on November 29, 2025

Match info

The North America League 2025 – Regional Finals is the decider for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege X, where SI 2026 Points and a direct slot to the Six Invitational 2026 for the champion are at stake.

Within that context, M80 vs Oxygen Esports (Saturday, November 29, 2025; exact hour isn’t yet published – you’ll need to check the official Ubisoft/R6 Esports schedule closer to the date), an all-US encounter in the upper bracket semifinals, is massive. The winner goes straight to the upper bracket final (and is heavily favored to reach the LAN stage in Philadelphia), while the loser drops into the lower bracket early, making their road to the Six Invitational slot much tougher.

There’s also a storyline angle: M80 come in as NAL Stage 2 champions and fresh winners of BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025, so this is where they prove regional dominance wasn’t a one-off. Oxygen, after a big 2025 roster revamp and a top-8 at Six Invitational 2025, are trying to show they belong in that same tier.

Meeting statistics

Current form and & playstyle: M80

M80 is coming into these Regional Finals about as hot as a Siege team can be. They’ve just won BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025, beating Falcons 3–1 in the grand final after already taking out FaZe Clan and Wildcard in a tight playoff series. That Major run followed their NAL 2025 Stage 2 playoff surge, where they tore through the lower bracket and then beat Spacestation 2–0 in the grand final, with convincing map scores like 7–2 on Bank.

M80’s playstyle right now is very “championship-form” Siege: confident entry pressure, layered aggression, and a map pool that doesn’t really show many obvious weak spots. The current core mixes veteran LAN composure with strong mechanical fragging. You see them happily taking early fights to seize map control, but it’s not brain-off aggression – their mid-round calling is usually crisp, with coordinated collapses when they identify isolated defenders. Defensively, they’re comfortable using active roamers backed by strong site anchors, often trusting their gunners to win 1v1s rather than relying on ultra-turtley setups.

Form-wise, the trajectory is still upward: in the weeks leading up to the Regional Finals, M80 have beaten top international teams like Team Falcons and FaZe multiple times at Munich, with an overall win rate in the high 80% range across recent series. This is a team playing with the swagger of a global contender, not just a domestic favorite.

Current form & playstyle: Oxygen Esports

Oxygen have had a more turbulent but still promising 2025. They rebuilt the roster early in the year around “Yoggah” and “GMZ”, adding three new players. With that lineup, they managed a top-8 finish at Six Invitational 2025, which is no joke in such a stacked field. In NAL 2025, especially Stage 2, OXG went on a strong league run with a string of Bo1 wins over DarkZero, Spacestation, Shopify Rebellion, Cloud9, and others, before stalling a bit late with back-to-back 0–2 losses to Shopify and Wildcard in the playoffs.

Playstyle-wise, Oxygen are more on the structured, default-heavy side compared to M80. On attack, they like to establish strong map control before committing, often using “Yoggah” and “GMZ” as dual entry threats while “Gryxr” flexes between hard breach and secondary entry. “Forrest” tends to glue things together as a classical support, taking on utility-heavy roles and handling a lot of drone work, while “Atom” can swing into more proactive mid-round roles when the team needs tempo.

On defense, OXG traditionally favor layered setups with roamers in power positions and good use of utility denial – think slower, more methodical rounds where they’re happy to burn time and force the attackers into awkward late-round executes. However, under pressure, especially at Munich qualifiers and Stage 2 playoffs, they’ve sometimes struggled to close out advantages, either getting picked off in isolation or mistiming re-takes. The recent form graph shows a bit of volatility: a great mid-Stage streak of wins, but a clear drop-off in the most recent high-pressure playoff matches.

Head-to-head

If we look at 2025 head-to-head in NAL:

In Stage 1, M80 beat Oxygen in the group stage (bo1 on 28 June 2025) and then again 2–1 in the upper bracket quarterfinals of the playoffs.
In Stage 2, they met again: M80 defeated Oxygen 1–0 in a bo1 on 4 September, a match that included a 7–0 demolition on Skyscraper.

The pattern is pretty clear: M80 have had Oxygen’s number all season, and not just in close squeakers – there’s at least one outright blowout in there.

Match analytics

Given that M80’s current core has just navigated a full international playoff bracket and Oxygen’s rebuilt lineup is still proving itself on those stages, we’d put M80 around 65–70% favorites in a bo3 (since we don’t have live odds from e-sport betting sites in front of us). OXG absolutely can take maps – especially if they land on comfort picks with more structured executes – but M80’s firepower and recent form give them the edge over a full series.

Our main pick – M80 -1.5 maps (2–0 scoreline).
