Ubisoft Brazil announced this Wednesday (10) news for the female scenario of Rainbow Six: Siege. The main one is the creation of an exclusive platform for women to play the game in a ranked manner, at flexible times and in a safe environment, in which the best players will receive cash prizes every fortnight. This is the SerPro hub, which aims to encourage the universe of female fans of R6S to expand and have a community without toxicity for casual players as well as for the emergence of new professional athletes in this type of esports.

The platform works as follows: players enter an online queue, from which 10 of them will be selected to enter a match. Of this ten, two are defined as captains who will choose their teams. The members of the winning team gain points, while those of the losing team lose points. Performances are recorded in a ranking.

Every 15 days, the 10 best players will be awarded prizes. Once a month, the 20 best ranked teams will play a mini tournament within the server itself, live. At the end of the year, the ten best ranked players will compete in an in-person final.

"By replacing the Women's Circuit with the hub, we prioritize the competitive development of more women", says Leandro 'Montoya' Estevam, director of esports at Ubisoft for Latin America. "In a healthy environment in which each player can adapt their routine, we begin a long-term plan in which talents can develop and become future icons of the scene."

Among the advantages of the hub model are the decentralization of prizes in a few organizations and the recurring recognition of new players; independence of athletes; greater potential of participants; and frequent activation possibilities.

SerPro will also offer private mentoring taught by prominent female players and a section for sharing educational content about R6S.

"The hub will be a great environment for casual players and anyone who wants to reach the tier 1 professional circuit," adds Montoya. "It is important to remember that there is no distinct men's and women's championship. Teams can have men and women in their lineups, as has already happened in teams. One of the hub's proposals is also to serve as a kind of showcase for those who want to stand out and become pro-players, identifying talented players and putting them in the spotlight so that organizations can approach them."
