After a short break from the conclusion of Six Invitational 2021, Rainbow Six Esports is returning with Stage 2 of the Regional Pro Leagues.
Stage 1 of the 2021 season provided some action-packed playdays and eventually led us straight to the postponed Six Invitational, where Ninjas in Pyjamas seized the title of World Champions. And now the top teams from all 4 regions are preparing to return in action, as stage 2 is kicking off on June 15th.
Because of the delayed SI, the May Six Major was canceled, and instead, the teams received the SI points through their position on the regional league tables. However, this time, the teams will also participate in a race towards qualification for the Six Major of August. In this August Major, teams will have the chance to earn some extra SI points and secure their place for the Six Invitational 2022.
Check out the Stage 2 schedule and kick off dates below (via Ubisoft).
