The Esports World Cup has announced that Ubisoft’s FPS Rainbow Six Siege will compete in this year’s WC. It is still unknown how you will qualify and how many teams are allowed to compete for the World Cup. The major gaming event will take place in the summer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

You can expect teams like w7m, G2 esports, Team BDS, and Faze clan to qualify for this event. R6 is huge in the gaming community again after a known streamer named Jynxzi made the game popular with his TikTok videos. Siege has been the flagship for first-person shooting games over the last decade. You can expect the view count for this year’s Esports World Cup to be high. The favorite to win it all at the World Cup is W7M (an amazing Brazilian team).

The amount of R6 players peaked in the beginning of 2024 totaling an average of 170k between all platforms. With the new season starting today and adding a new operator to the game the player count will only go up from here.
