Epic.LAN will host the LAN finals of Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege T2 EU esports tournament early next year.
This is set to take place at Epic 44 on February 22nd and 23rd 2025, with the circuit’s top four Siege teams (amassing the most circuit points) competing at the event.
Fans will be able to attend in person, and there will also be other activities at the event, set to take place at Kettering Leisure Village.
The news was announced during the finals of the R6 Central Combine on stream today, from Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, where Team Secret Academy beat Projext X in the final.
The news comes a couple of months after the €75,000 Rainbow Six Siege T2 European esports circuit for 2024/25 was announced. This includes the R6 Central Combine (July and August 2024), R6 South Breach (November and December 2024) and R6 North Rainbow Rumble (January and February 2025).
Epic.LAN and the Rainbow Six Siege UK social media accounts shared the news here:
Ticketing info will be revealed at a later date, with tickets set to go on sale later this year.
In terms of how the top four teams can reach Epic 44, they will amass circuit points based on their placements in the Combine, Breach and Rumble tournaments. The teams with the most points will do battle at Epic.LAN.
The prize pool for the finals is €15,000, while the Rumble prize pool is €25k
Jon Winkle, Epic.LAN managing director, told Esports News UK: “‘We’re really excited to welcome this brand new T2 EU finals event to Epic 44 next February, giving us the opportunity to show the whole of Europe the important part we play in the progression from grassroots to professional esports.
“We know how passionate the Siege community can be after the Siege Manchester Major earlier this year, so we can’t wait to hear them bring all the best chants to Kettering!”
