Ubisoft Announces Rainbow Six Siege Esports Program

Ubisoft is setting up a new esports program, the US Nationals, as a spotlight for the nation’s best teams and players for Rainbow Six Siege. Open to all players and teams in the United States, the US Nationals will feature a grand prize pool of $50,000, and the winning team will earn the title of Team USA.

“The phenomenon that is Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege esports has been truly amazing to witness firsthand. With the US Nationals, we have entered into a new and exciting time for our community’s growth,” said Robb Chiarini, esports associate director at Ubisoft. “Our goal is to provide a comprehensive esports ecosystem that offers our players and ever-growing community opportunities to participate, watch and aspire to. The US Nationals expands this initiative by offering another layer of activity for all players across the United States.”

The US Nationals program will be divided into rival Eastern and Western Conferences as an open-to-everyone competitive program. Teams will participate in open online qualifier tournaments, with the top placing team from each conference returning the following Friday to play their final games live on the official broadcast.
