We are excited to announce that ESL and Ubisoft will be joining forces at gamescom to bring you a showcase of the upcoming installment of the Tom Clancy first-person shooter Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, which will be coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the 13th of October 2015.

The showcase, set to feature the game’s team-based tactical combat, variety of different classes and team roles and procedural destruction system, will take place in the ESL Arena at gamescom on Saturday the 8th of August at 16:00 CEST. The four teams of five players will clash in a series of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege showmatches followed by a Twitter Q&A during which the viewers will have a chance to ask the Ubisoft development team questions about the game.

The teams

The four teams will be made up of a wide variety of players including Rainbow Six veterans as well as popular YouTubers and top players from the Closed Alpha

YouTubers Rainbow Six veterans Hannah “Lomadia” Rutherford David “GaM3 Ov3R” Park Alex “Arekkz” Noon Sean “Rogue Warchief” Cyr Joseph “DYKGaming” Giaffreda David “FINEST X” Narciso Charles “ChaBoyy” Richardson Mark “Blood n Glory” Rios Aaron “Aaronlawd” Garvie Anthony “Hopes” Nizzardo European Closed Alpha Top Players German Closed Alpha Top Players Maxime “ iMaxx64” Blain Rainer “Hy5_LeGenD” Kneidl Yeray “DriD” González Domínguez Niklas “Kasstrierer” Massrierer Julian “ZeR0089” Rott Eike “Heizoel_Walther” Wichem Geoffrey “ggcmoa” Grenet Bjorn “Rush” Mech Robert “Dastan” Hinze Lukas “Lucarian” Reid

Although the veterans and top alpha players may seem the obvious favorites to win, the YouTubers’ team should not be underestimated. Their dedication to gaming has resulted in them gaining hundreds of thousands subscribers - three of the team members have over a million, with Hannah “Lomadia” Rutherford a member of the YOGSCAST crew.
