Rainbow 6 at DreamHack

A recent tweet by the official Rainbow 6 Siege Twitter has announced that DreamHack Montreal will be the home of a R6 minor. The tournament will span from September 7-9 and will boast a 50,000 dollar prize pool. This is a pretty significant event as Montreal is home to the studio that develops the game and will be the first Canadian hosted event for Rainbow 6. The bracket for the tournament will contain 12 professional or challenger teams but will also allow 4 teams who qualify at the LAN held at the event at the BYOC qualifier!
