An S-tier event is an exclusive competitive tournament, organised by well-known tournament organisers and usually boast of a huge cash inflow dedicated towards the prize pool for the tournament.
Organizers are still unable to invite fans to big esports events because to the COVID-19 outbreak. This will be no different in the case of the Six November Major. No live audience will be allowed in the yet-to-be-announced arena due to hygienic concerns.
“With the safety of professional players, employees, and partners as our top priority, the Six Sweden Major will be a LAN event with no on-site audience and stringent hygienic safeguards”
according to Ubisoft.
Format of the Rainbow Six Siege’s Six November Major tournament –
The tournament will follow the same format as the Six Mexico Major.
The group stage, which will feature 16 teams from around the world, will take place throughout the first three days of the competition. The single-elimination playoffs will take place in the second half of a six-day extravaganza. The winner will receive $ 200,000 and 200 points in the worldwide standings as part of a $ 500,000 total prize fund.
To celebrate the #SixMajor, a new operator bundle is now available for purchase. The design reflects our initial plans to hold the event in Asia. 30% of the net revenue from these items will contribute to the prize pool of the competition, up to a cap of USD $500,000. pic.twitter.com/UglotaU4Bb
