epic lan dota review 1

Rainbow Six Siege keeps on going from strength to strength in the UK esports scene.
The game has enjoyed solid growth these past few years, with majors, invitationals and other third-party tournaments taking place across the globe.
In the UK we have a raft of Rainbow Six talent, as well as the RB6 ESL UK & Ireland Premiership, the latest of which recently concluded.
And now the game is heading to epic.LAN, with a prize pool of up to £3,500 at epic26, which takes place from February 7th to 10th 2019 at Kettering Conference Centre. And the prize pool could rise further depending on sponsors.
Organisers confirmed the news on Twitter after a series of tweets hinting that a Rainbow Six tournament may be introduced at the well-known LAN event:

epic.LAN said in this news announcement post on its website: “With the massively growing popularity of Rainbow Six Siege, we’re really excited to confirm that it will be part of our 2019 esports lineup, kicking off at epic26 in February.
“We’ve been working closely with Ubisoft UK to launch the 5 on 5 PC tournament which will kick off on Friday February 8th, running through to the finals on Sunday February 10th February.”
The tournament is for those aged 18 and above, and you can sign up to it here.
Expect more Rainbow Six tournaments at other epic.LAN events throughout 2019. Now, excuse us while we pester Jon to add League of Legends back into the mix… 1
