Today saw the final play day of the North American Rainbow Six Pro League region which means that everything was officially set in stone when it comes to all the teams that qualified for Season IX Playoffs.
The two best teams from each of the four Rainbow Six Pro League regions will advance to the Milan Playoff LAN that will crown the World Champion of Season IX Pro League.
On this, the last day of North American play, nothing was able to move near the top of the standings. The top two seeds were determined two weeks ago, as both DarkZero Esports and Evil Geniuses have been ahead of the pack, and Team Reciprocity could not manage to collect themselves in the final weeks.
