The world’s most elite Rainbow Six Siege players are coming to Atlanta this fall for a chance at becoming world champions. Organized by Ubisoft and BLAST, the championship will follow the same three-phase format as the Copenhagen Major earlier this year, where w7m esports defeated Team Liquid to win the title and $200k. Now, Atlanta will serve as the battleground as 24 teams from nine regions compete for a chunk of the $750k prize pool.
According to a BLAST official, “The BLAST R6 Major Atlanta will be the first Rainbow Six Siege event to take place in the state of Georgia. The region is no stranger to large-scale esports events with a number of other esports titles visiting the city in recent years.”
The first two phases of the event, the play-in and playoffs, are not open to the public, but the finals will be an all-out spectacle from November 10-12, 2023 in Georgia’s Gas South Arena.
“North America and the USA in particular have been a core region for the Rainbow Six Siege esports scene since the very early days. At the last Rainbow Six Major in North America in May 2022, the home advantage at Charlotte, North Carolina led DarkZero Esports to their first Major LAN victory. North America will be hoping for similar success in Atlanta come November,” said another BLAST official.
