Congratulations to our Rainbox Six: Vegas 2 Old Spice Swagger Series Fall Champions, Rage! After a month of grueling playoff matches, Crysis IRI and his team were able to cap off a successful Fall campaign with a championship, and banking a cool $2,500 courtesy of the Old Spice Swagger Series. 32 teams qualified for the playoffs, but Rage outlasted everybody. Let's take a more in-depth look at their incredible run!

After finishing the regular season with 65 wins and just 6 losses, Rage was awarded the 5th seed in the playoffs. Their first round and second round opponents, Vicious and Question Mark Men, respectively, were unable to stop Rage from executing a successful game plan and advancing in the tournament. Something Questionable, the #4 seeded team, was expected to pose a challenge after putting up over 250 wins throughout the season, but a convincing 3-0 match said otherwise, and sent Rage into the next round. The road only got more challenging from there. Their next opponent, TRiUMPH, was the #1 team on the ladder. It was an exciting match, but Rage was able to pull a mini-upset, winning 3-1 to move on to the semi-finals.

It was The Untouchables, 28-2, that defeated Rage and sent them into the loser’s bracket. However, after a win over PR3SSURE, a rematch was set. This time, Rage would not allow themselves to be defeated. They were able to put together another exceptional performance, winning two consecutive matches against The Untouchables to be crowned Champions of the Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Old Spice Swagger Series!

Once again, on behalf of GameBattles and Old Spice, congratulations to Crysis and Rage! It was a spectacular run for them, and we're very proud to name them Fall 2008 Old Spice Swagger Series Champions. Thanks to all of those who participated this season, as well as Old Spice for raising the stakes on the Fall 2008 Season. We hope to see you all back in competition on the Winter ladder!
