Across the coming month, competitive Rainbow Six Siege is ramping up. Accordingly, a Rainbow Six Siege League will take place across two regions for the entire world to enjoy. Indeed, in this episode of How to Watch we’ll be giving you all of the details you need for both events together and separately!
Event Background
So, to begin with, here are some key differences between the two events which we need to point out immediately:
- NA – 3rd March up until 29th April – $125,000 – 9 teams
- EU – 18th March up until 25th April – $125,000 – 10 teams
The stakes are massively high for each event. Over in Europe, the action will pick up from last year and over in North America, it’s the first piece of action since the merging with the Canadian League.
Bearing that in mind, we’ll now list the participating teams for both competitions.
Participants for the European League 2021 – Stage 1
- BDS Esport
- G2 Esports
- Natus Vincere
- Team Empire
- Team Secret
- Vitality

Participants for the NA League 2021 – Stage 1
- DarkZero Esports
- Disrupt Gaming

Format
In terms of format, each regular season will involve a single round robin format with BO1 matches. Points will involve a win giving 3 points, an overtime win 2 points and an overtime loss 1 point.
With regards to prize, besides the prize, it seems that the Top 4 from each event will allow those teams to seed for the Six Major event.
Schedule for the 2021 Rainbow Six Siege Leagues NA & EU
With how expansive both leagues are, it would be very difficult to discuss the schedule for the 2021 Rainbow Six Siege League for both seasons. Regardless, here are some tweets which should clear things up:

Predictions for each Rainbow Six Siege League
Naturally, we’ll have to split predictions with respect to each region. We’ll dive into that immediately.
North American League Predictions
This one is definitely tough due to the merging of the leagues.
While they were entirely separate leagues, many in the community vouch for the US league as being more competitive. In this corner, based on the last results we have from last year give us an idea over who sits on top. Accordingly, DarkZero Esports will look to uphold their winning reputation and their first place finish last year.
Over on the Canadian side of things, Mirage look to try and fight with the US side of the competition – it’ll be interested to see exactly how the two different regions interact with one another.
European League Predictions
Also based on the Stage 2 event of last year, BDS Esport needs to return to form and defend their throne from last year’s final event. However, with so much time having passed since, they might not still be at the top. Unlike the North American League, the competition is a lot more familiar here – old rivalries look likely to come back to life.
