REBELLION Digest | Issue 05 - May 26

This month had Rebellion in two finals, set a broadcast record, made history across the globe, and confirmed that Ambi wants Arby's. May had the movement, we hustled to match the momentum. Attention rebels, here’s what we cooked up for this month of moments.

01 / REBELLION FRESH WINS

STREET FIGHTER 6 

NuckleDu is in his comeback era, with his last Top 8 at EVO Japan being 6 years ago. Running the gauntlet of over 7000 players, Du makes his World Warrior presence known in Tokyo.

ROCKET LEAGUE

Championship Sunday in Paris. The squad topped Group C, beat Manchester City in the semis, and took the final to the wire against Twisted Minds (who moved on to place as the Runner-up at the Paris Major). And we can't forget how Retals and CJCJ hyped up the team, they're always part of the magic. First international Top 4, Worlds is already booked and right around the corner.

HALO

DreamHack Atlanta: 1st out of 31. Another LAN trophy on the shelf. The Halo squad keeps their winning streak alive following Halo World Championship well into the year of 2026.

RAINBOW 6 SIEGE

Runner-up at the SLC Major. The squad ran the full bracket and made the final. Silver is the floor of a great result. In unrelated news: Ambi wanted Arby's. The team had thoughts. We are not saying he was wrong. We are just saying it came up.

2XKO

INZEM and SonicFox ran it back. Combo Breaker Champions. The dynamic duo wins it again after getting their reps in across the pond at Red Bull Knockout. Two trophies specially made for the best Teemo and Ahri combo.

SUPER SMASH BROS MELEE

Zain overcomes his hardest Luigi match up to win Pats House 5. If anyone can, it’s the myth, the man, the legendary Marth, Zain Naghmi.

02 / WE WERE THERE

247,000 peak viewers. Up 125%. The most watched BLAST Esports R6 Major ever. We were in the final when it happened.

03 / THE NOIA SITUATION

"1v1ing a Valorant Pro But Every Time She Kills Me She Gets Nerfed." We invited Ludwig to the SR Studio with a format designed to give himself a fighting chance. Noia walked in as a 2x World Champion. Noia wearing an eye patch with some kitty claws can do some real damage. Who knew.

Watch for the final result here:
