Yesterday, Ubisoft announced that a selection of the top sixteen Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six teams worldwide will compete for the title of World Champion in the 2019 edition of the Six Invitational. The third year of the Six Invitational brings together fans, professional players, developers, and content creators to celebrate Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. Taking place from February 11th to 17th in Montreal, Canada, the birth city of the game, the Six Invitational 2019 will also feature the live broadcast global premiere of esports documentary “To Win It All: The Road to the Six Invitational,” as well as exclusive insights on Year 4 Plans for Rainbow Six Siege from the development team.
