CR6: A New League on the Horizon

We sat down with Mike “xpR” Pipher and Liam “Swindle” Koenneker, to discuss their new league, Collegiate R6.

Collegiate Rainbow 6, called “CR6” for short, is a competitive Rainbow 6 league for students who attend university. CR6 is a relatively new league, however it has gained popularity because it is oriented towards college students. Their first season totaled at 78 teams, playing through a seven-week Swiss bracket, and eventually moving to the playoffs, where it would dwindle down a round of 32 all the way to the grand finals.

CR6 is currently in its second season, and has grown to 91 teams in their Division 1 category with another 40 more teams in their Division 2 category.

First of all, please introduce yourselves.

What is Collegiate R6?

What inspired you to create this league?

How does CR6 stand out from other community run leagues, such as CCS?

How can players get involved with CR6?

Is there anything you would like to say to the Rainbow 6 esports community?

Hopefully this league will become a mainstay within the Rainbow 6 competitive community, as collegiate level esports has been a growing area in recent years, and it would be good for the Rainbow Six scene to get some exposure at the collegiate level.
