Look Sports Media – In a move that has sent ripples through the competitive Rainbow Six Siege landscape, Spanish esports titan Team Heretics has officially announced the acquisition of the previously unsigned Project Zero roster. This strategic signing comes just days before the highly anticipated Paris Six Invitational 2026, marking a significant entry for both the organization and its new squad into the premier R6 event.
The announcement, made on January 28th, less than a week before the Group Stage of the Invitational kicks off, heralds Team Heretics’ long-awaited comeback to the Rainbow Six esports scene. The organization had been absent from the title since November 2020, a six-year hiatus that left many fans questioning if they would ever re-enter the tactical shooter’s competitive circuit. Now, with Project Zero, they return with a fresh, diverse European lineup. This multinational squad, featuring two British players, a Scottish coach, a Portuguese player, and a Polish Captain, earned their coveted spot at the Paris Six Invitational 2026 through a hard-fought victory in the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), making this their inaugural appearance at the prestigious global championship.
Project Zero’s journey to the top tier has been a compelling narrative of perseverance. As a free agent entity, the team consistently sought organizational backing throughout their impressive run in the Rainbow Six esports Tier Two circuit. Their path to Paris included a commendable second-place finish in the T2 Grand Finals Europe in December 2025, followed by a strong showing in the Six Invitational 2026 Europe and MENA Qualifier 1, culminating in their definitive triumph in the Six Invitational 2026 Europe and MENA LCQ. Their consistent performance as an unsigned entity makes this partnership with Team Heretics a fitting reward for their dedication.

The Group Stage will feature a rigorous round-robin, best-of-three format, where every match carries significant weight. Teams finishing first in their respective groups will secure a coveted direct pass to the Upper Bracket Round 2 of the Playoffs.

The stakes are high, as fifth-placed teams in each group will see their tournament run end prematurely. For Team Heretics to reach the prestigious Adidas Arena for the grand finals, they must navigate the demanding playoff bracket and secure a spot among the top six contenders. Their debut performance will undoubtedly be one of the most watched storylines of the tournament.
