SIX INVITATIONAL DAY 1 PREVIEW

The Six Invitational is nearly upon us, so we are giving a detailed preview into what you can expect on all three days. Since this is our biggest event ever, we didn’t want a typical transition in-between competition for breaks, so we will be bringing you exclusive panels with some of the people who have worked on the game since its inception.

Remember, you’ll be able to watch everything from the Six Invitational on February 3-5 on our Twitch [www.twitch.tv] and YouTube channels.

We jump start the Six Invitational on Day 1 with the PC and Xbox One Quarter Finals. These matches will put the international qualifier teams who have been competing to earn their spot for the past two months. These teams have a ton of passion and will need to prove their worth if they want to get to Day 2. For more information on these teams, check out this blog [rainbow6.ubi.com].
