Revealing the US Nationals!

The competitive Rainbow Six scene is growing even larger! Today, we are excited to announce the addition of the US Nationals program, the latest evolutionary step in Rainbow Six Siege esports.

The US Nationals will serve as a spotlight for the United States’ best teams and players, with a grand prize pool of $50,000 and the winning team earning the title of Team USA. Competition begins on July 14 with open qualifiers, giving any US team the chance to participate.

The US Nationals program will be divided into rival Eastern and Western Conferences, allowing teams and players to represent their preferred region. An open-to-everyone competitive program, teams will participate in open online qualifier Saturday tournaments in both conferences. The top placing teams from each conference will return the following Friday and play their final matches live on the official broadcast.

The program will culminate at the National Finals in December 2018, which will result in one team being crowned Team USA and take home a share of the $50,000 prize pool. Eight teams (four teams from each conference) will be invited to travel and compete at the live event. These teams are made up of the top placing team from each of the three Stage Finals, along with the winning wildcard team from the Last Chance Qualifier tournament in October.

We look forward to seeing which teams will rise to the top! Players can register their teams now at: https://rainbow6.com/R6USN
