Rainbow Six Siege is opening a new competitive season with the exclusive RE:LO:AD tournament. The event promises to be a milestone for the discipline as it features 20 top teams from the R6 Share program. Organizers promise to raise the bar for esports events and offer viewers something truly unique.

How RE:LO:AD Will Change the Traditional May Major

In the past, the Rainbow Six Siege calendar traditionally featured May Majors, gathering the best teams from around the world. However, BLAST decided to change the format and create an exclusive tournament dedicated solely to R6 Share partner teams. This decision will make the competition more elite and draw attention to the clubs with the most significant contributions to the game's ecosystem.

What is Known About the RE:LO:AD Tournament

The tournament will take place from May 16 to 18 at Arena Carioca 1, Rio de Janeiro. It will feature 20 teams, including teams like M80, SSG, Wildcard, FURIA, w7m, Falcons, SCARZ, Elevate, CAG Osaka, G2, FaZe, Liquid, BDS, DarkZero, Cloud9, LOUD, Team Secret, fnatic, FearX, and PSG Talon. The organizers have yet to reveal the format and schedule of the matches, but expectations for the tournament are already high.

RE:LO:AD will mark a significant milestone in the development of the competitive Rainbow Six scene. The tournament will not only open the new season but will also demonstrate how successful the new format is. If the experiment succeeds, Ubisoft may use it as a foundation for future elite competitions.
