You've probably heard of the Six Invitational, the largest Rainbow Six Siege tournament for pro players held every year. But there are smaller tournaments you can compete in even if you aren't one of the top teams in the world!
One of those tournaments is the GO4R6, held on various consoles throughout a handful of regions.
What is the GO4R6?
The GO4R6 Cup Series is a weekly tournament where participating teams can earn points to qualify for a monthly final.
Xbox players, PlayStation players, and PC players all have their own separate tournaments. PC regions include ANZ, Asia, Benelux, Europe, LATAM, and NA, all of which have separate tournaments. PlayStation has Benelux, Europe, Italy, NA, and the UK. Xbox regions include Europe, Italy, NA, and the UK.
What is the prizing for the GO4R6 Cup Series?
Each week, there are 57,000 total R6 Credits up for grabs. The credits are distributed between the top four teams of the week as well as four random teams. In total, the GO4R6 gives out 285,000 R6 Credits each month.
The Monthly Final starts at the beginning of each month. It consists of the top eight teams who gathered the most points during the weekly tournaments. These teams will compete for a piece of the $500 prize pool.
When is the next GO4R6 for Rainbow Six Siege players?
This is where it gets a bit mysterious. There are no upcoming tournaments listed on the official GO4R6 page on ESL Gaming's website. The popular tournament organizer started GO4R6 in 2016 and held it every year, including 2020. There were no GO4R6 tournaments in 2021. It's unclear if there will be any in 2022.
Are there other ways to compete in Rainbow Six Siege?
