All teams, whether already involved in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow SixEsports or newly formed rosters, can start signing up to participate in regional qualifiers
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — November 17, 2021 — Today, Ubisoft announced that the sixth edition of the Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Invitational will be held in Montreal, Canada, from February 8 to 20, 2022. The Six Invitational 2022, the pinnacle of the Rainbow Six Siege’s competitive year, will gather 20 teams across the four main regions of the Rainbow Six Esports circuit, competing offline in a LAN environment.
“More than just a tournament, the Six Invitational is this special moment of the year when the entire Siege family comes together to celebrate a new year in Rainbow Six Siege. With such a symbolic event, taking the decision not to host a live audience has been a difficult one.” shared the Rainbow Six Esports global team.
“The health and safety of all participants is our main priority, and we look at every event based on empirical data, a global risk evaluation and ongoing assessment of the pandemic’s trajectory. We are continuously monitoring the situation and will re-evaluate the option of a limited on-site audience in January 2022, should the local requirements and restrictions allow it. While we can’t wait to welcome fans back in our esports events, we are dedicated to making the Six Invitational 2022 a true moment of celebration for the community at large, and are working on new ideas that we look forward to sharing with you soon.”
Sixteen teams have already secured their spot in the competition by earning points through regional leagues and Six Majors during the Rainbow Six Esports Season 2021.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege’s Esports includes 4 main regions, Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. All four regions run in parallel their own dedicated regional leagues, all feeding into one unique and global race towards a qualification for the Six Invitational, the pinnacle of the Rainbow Six Siege competitive year. As teams across the four regions face off in regional and global competitions, featuring 3 Majors and regional leagues, they will be ranked based on an in-depth point system that rewards sustained performance.

Each stage awards prize money and points for the Global Standings. The Global Standings determine the sixteen teams earning a spot to the annual Six Invitational.

The season will then conclude with the Six Invitational that will crown the world’s best team. Four additional teams will also have a chance to qualify for the Six Invitational through Regional Open Qualifiers, making the Six invitational a 20-team competition.
