Today we've announced the UKIN Rainbow Rumble, a new tournament for all PC players running from October until January. Check out all the info here!

We are proud to bring the 2021 UKIN Rainbow Rumble, a new multi-stage Rainbow Six Siege tournament that will take place from October and run until January 2022 and feature the best of the UK & Ireland and a prize pool of £25,000! 

Qualifiers

The event begins in October, where teams from across the UK, Ireland and Europe will take part in three qualifying tournaments over two weeks, with the top four teams in each qualifier making it to the group stage.

Teams who meet the 3/5 UKI resident rule will have 2 chances to qualify on October 30th/31st and November 6th/7th. EU teams with fewer than 3/5 UKI residents will have a separate qualifier opportunity on November 6th/7th.

UKI Qualifier 1 - 30th/31st October

UKI Qualifier 2 - 6th/7th November

EU Qualifier - 6th/7th November

Group Stage

In November we dive into the group stage, where qualified teams will mix it up with invited UKIN teams from the UKIN Premier Summer ‘21. Four groups of four teams will fight over four days for those all important top two spots that will gain them promotion to the Knockout bracket taking place in January 2022.

Each group will be played on a single weekend day from November 20th-28th.

Knockouts

Taking place in January 2022 from 4th January, the knockout stage will be a 12-team, double-elimination bracket with the best teams from UKIN Premier Summer ‘21 automatically seeded into the second round. All knockouts matches will be best-of-3 until the final 4, which will be played as best-of-5, as we crown our UKIN Rainbow Rumble champion!

The winning team will win a special trophy designed in collaboration with the community! More to come on this very soon.
