The Rainbow Six Siege Six Invitational has barely ended, but the Siege esports community is talking about a separate announcement that will impact talent and fans of the game.
Ubisoft has announced that its Season 2022 roadmap of international events for Siege will include a major in August in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a country where LGBTQ+ people are criminalised with serious life-threatening consequences.
UK Siege caster Geo spoke out about the issue on Twitter, responding to questions about it and standing up for LGBTQ+ talent in Siege, including the likes of UK caster Fluke and Australian caster JessGoat.
