Rainbow Six European League 2022 Stage 1: Schedule, Talent, Twitch Drops, and more

Rainbow Six Siege‘s European League 2022 Stage 1 is just around the corner, and Ubisoft has now shared more details about this new season.

In surprising news, Ubisoft has revealed that they will be bringing in two-times Rainbow Six World Champions Fabian Hällsten to replace Jess Bolden in the analyst desk. Fabian is set to bring his massive expertise in the Siege esports scene to the EUL broadcast, and the Siege community is ready for it.

Apart from it, as previously announced, Ubisoft will be requiring the Russian organizations in the league to compete under a neutral banner, and the teams have also decided to do so.
