The Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals is part of the Rainbow Six Siege Esports Global Circuit, specifically the APL. The Regional Finals determine which APAC teams qualify for the international stages, including the BLAST R6 Majors and ultimately feed into qualification points (Global Points) for the Six Invitational (SI, the world championship). In other words, the Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals is one of the most decisive events of the APAC Rainbow Six Siege season.

The exact date and city for the APL 2025 – Regional Finals have just been officially announced. It will take place between December 11, 2025, and December 14, 2025. Sydney, the most populous city in Australia, has been chosen to host the tournament, which is organized by Ubisoft (developer/publisher) and BLAST (eSports circuit operator). Together, they operate the BLAST R6 Circuit, of which the Asia Pacific League and its Regional Finals are one major branch.

Where Will the Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals Be Held?

Fortress Sydney, a large eSports and gaming venue in the capital city of the state of New South Wales, will be the battle arena for the Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals.

Only six teams will take part in this LAN and offline event, whose total prize pool is €100,000 (approx. US$115,000). Apart from the prize pool, the participating teams will earn Six Invitational Global Points (SI Global Points), while the tournament winner will earn a spot in the most prestigious Rainbow Six tournament of the year.

Which Teams Will Take Part in the Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals?

Each of the six teams earned its spot via regional league or regional qualifier placement (the top 2) in its respective sub-region of the APAC split (Asia, Oceania, APAC North). The qualification is based on combined league points from Stage 1 + Stage 2 within each subdivision.

Here’s a breakdown of the qualification routes for each team participating in the Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals:

Features of the Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals

The Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals has only one stage. The entire tournament is played by using a double-elimination escalation bracket (“escalation” refers to increasing match length as the tournament progresses). Teams enter the bracket based on seeding from their sub-region performance (Asia, APAC North, Oceania). The two lowest-seeded teams will start from the lower bracket, while the top four-seeded teams will start from the upper bracket.

• Seeds 1-3:

• • The top team from each subdivision, based on combined league points from Stage 1 and Stage 2, will be randomly selected as the #1 to #3 seeds.

• Seeds 4:

• • The second-place team with the most combined league points from Stage 1 and Stage 2 will be selected as the #4 seed.

• Seeds 5-6:

• • The remaining second-place teams will be selected as the #5 and #6 seeds.

All Matches (except the grand final) will be best-of-3 (bo3). The grand final itself will be bo5.

Who’ll Win the Asia Pacific League 2025 – Regional Finals?

Based on current form, roster strength, LAN experience, and consistency across the 2025 APL subdivisions, the clear tournament favorites are Elevate, consistently the strongest APAC South/Asia representative in recent international events, and BNK FEARX, one of the highest mechanical ceiling teams in the region.

Given that Rainbow Six has a strong tactical-component (operators, maps, team synergy) and less sheer frag-count dominance than some FPS titles, and that map choice, operator bans, and momentum shifts matter a lot, these markets tend to offer good value in Rainbow Six Siege and their tournaments, such as Regional Finals:  prop bets/special markets, e.g., first kill, first bomb plant, longest round, etc. Here are several highly-rated sportsbooks/dedicated bookmakers for esports betting that cover Rainbow Six betting: GG.Bet, Thunderpick, and Pinnacle.

When Ubisoft first launched the APAC League structure, they introduced two major subdivisions: the North Division (Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia) and the South Division (Oceania + South Asia). The restructuring of subdivisions to the current structure has meant that teams from Oceania and South Asia have had clearer pathways via the South Division into larger APAC events. However, that didn’t improve viewership much, as fans from the region don’t show much interest in competitive Rainbow Six (for example, in 2024, the separate APAC Cup event recorded low viewership metrics: peak 5,452 viewers).
