Gaming furniture company Blacklyte has been announced as the exclusive desk and chair sponsor of the Six Invitational 2026. The partnership will see the company provide on-stage equipment for the final days of the global championship for Rainbow Six Siege, which is currently taking place in Paris, France.

By supplying hardware for the tournament, Blacklyte aims to maintain its presence at top-tier esports events as competition in the gaming furniture sector intensifies.

The Six Invitational 2026 runs until February 15 at the Adidas Arena in Paris. Blacklyte’s involvement specifically covers the Phase Three finals, taking place from February 13-15, where the final six teams will compete to become one of the two teams in the Grand Final on February 15th. During these matches, the on-stage player setups will feature the Athena Pro Gaming Chair Rainbow Six variation and the Atlas Lite Desk.

Beyond the stage, attendees can visit the Blacklyte booth to test the equipment and meet members of Team Liquid.

Global Esports Industry Week (GEIW) will return in 2026 with a bigger and bolder edition, taking place across 18–21 June in Cologne, Germany, alongside IEM Cologne. The schedule and details about ticket sales are available in this link.

The Six Invitational is delivered by BLAST in partnership with Ubisoft, adding to Blacklyte’s history of collaborating with the tournament organiser. The brand was previously named Official Furniture Partner for the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, and also supplied custom furniture for the last year StarLadder Budapest Major.

The announcement arrives as the market for tournament-grade equipment sees heightened activity. In a competing move earlier this year, tournament organiser PGL signed an agreement with Secretlab to supply its gear across all PGL events in 2026, including the second Counter-Strike 2 Major of the year scheduled for Singapore. These parallel partnerships highlight how tournament organisers and brands are increasingly seeking to standardise player setups for high-stakes competition.
