Following the finishing of the largest event of the calendar year, the Rainbow Six community can enjoy some off-season. However, we’ve got a bit more discussion to enjoy regarding the event. Accordingly, read on as we discuss the Rainbow Six Invitational 2022 Viewership below!
Rainbow Six Invitational 2022 Viewership – Declining Since 2018

Accordingly, before proceeding we must credit the statistics to Esports Charts.
Anyways, overall, the Six Invitational 2022 Viewership was rather average. Offering an offline environment, the event threw $3,000,000 on the line as one of the largest prizes in the esport ever. However, only a peak viewership of 272,714 was achieved, with an average viewership of 121,582.
For context, here are the viewership trends since the 2018 iteration of the event:
2018 – 316,096 Peak Viewers
2019 – 315,240 Peak Viewers
2021 – 306,494 Peak Viewers
2020 – 303,155 Peak Viewers
2022 – 272,714 Peak Viewers

This likely confirms speculation over the fact that Rainbow Six esports is growing somewhat stale perhaps. Released back in 2015, the title is in need of further innovation for both in-game content and esports structure.
In our last esports tier list, we demoted R6S from a Tier 1 esport to a Tier 2 esport. Considering this viewership, our suspicions were correct. Regardless, we’re optimistic that Ubisoft will sort things out this coming season.
Following the conclusion of the Six Invitational, Ubisoft is excited for the next competitive season of Rainbow Six Siege. Accordingly, the developer dropped the Rainbow Six Year 7 Roadmap. Read on as we discuss all the details below!

Announcing many small changes in the press release, we’re only concerned with the esports. Bearing this in mind, here are some announced dates we’ll be keeping in mind for the upcoming season:
May 2022 – Stage 1 Major in the United States
August 2022 – Stage 2 Major in the United Arab Emirates
November 2022 – Stage 3 Major in Asia
Six Invitational 2023 – Still Unconfirmed Venue
Rainbow Six World Cup – Postponed to 2023
Accordingly, apart from the huge international events, regional competition kicks off on March 9th in the usual regions.

While we’re disappointed by the cancellation of the Rainbow Six World Cup, once again, it’s understandable. Instead, we’re excited to see three Majors announced for the remainder of the the year, which is more than usual.
We’ll be sure to keep you up to date with the upcoming regional competitions shortly.
Heading into the Six Invitational 2022, it was quite clear that the favourites were teams from the South American region. However, concluding this past weekend, that’s not quite how things went down. Read on as we offer a Six Invitational 2022 Recap, highlighting TSM’s championship run!
Six Invitational 2022 Recap – North America is Back
Yes, you heard that right, TSM have taken North America to the very top of competitive Rainbow Six Siege as your international champions!
Yet, the journey wasn’t so smooth to get here. Making it through via a qualifier, and not even Global Standings, they were underdogs from the start.
From the beginning, they showed fight. Seeded into Group C, they managed to sit in the middle f the pack with a 2-0-1-1 record. Seeded into the first round of the Winner Bracket, they then took care of business:
Indeed, after a month of competition, it boils down to one last weekend. Accordingly, for those unaware, we’re referring to the Six Invitational 2022 Final Weekend. Bearing this in mind, read on as we preview the exciting final matches.
Six Invitational 2022 Final Weekend – South America Done?
In terms of favourites, we have to give the edge to Team Empire who have shown some serious dominance since the beginning of the event. We’ll have to see if TSM can hold them back.
If Team Empire do prevail, it would be a great victory for Europe too, with South America taking a step back.
It’s that time of year for competitive Rainbow Six Siege. Accordingly, following another year of competition, we’re building up to another post-season event. Indeed, the Six Invitational 2022 is on our radar as one of the biggest events in February. Read on as we cover all of the necessary viewership details below!

When it comes to making predictions for the event, let’s consider the teams that made it through via the Global Standings.
For the past few years, it’s been the Latin American teams who have dominated competitive Rainbow Six Siege. It shows, as they stack up near the top of the standings:
#1 – Team oNe Esports – LATAM
#2 – Team BDS – EU
#3 – Team Liquid – LATAM
#4 – Ninjas in Pyjamas – LATAM
#5 – Soniqs – NA
#6 – Oxygen Esports – NA

We could go on with the list, but we’ll stop there.
Beyond the Global Standings, the last time these teams met was at the Six Sweden Major. Here, FaZe Clan, also from LATAM, managed to rise and take the victory for the region.
Will the Six Invitational 2022 be another LATAM victory or will another region step in?
Leading up to the Six Invitational 2022, spots are still being claimed via the Closed Qualifiers. Accordingly, over the weekend, Europe crowned another champion to send over to the international event. Read on as we discuss the victory of MNM Gaming Six Invitational 2022!
MNM Gaming Six Invitational 2022 – Ready to Impact
A total of four spots are open to Qualifiers. Joining CYCLOPS athlete gaming from the APAC region, MNM Gaming are a European team ready to contest the international stage.
Yet, nobody expected them to win the Qualifier. Seeded from the Open Qualifier, they had to go against the likes of Team Vitality, Team Secret and cowana Gaming.
After multiple years, this marks the team’s first successful attendance at Six Invitational!
For the event they’ll be fielding their roster as follows:

Accordingly, with the main event taking off early February, we can’t wait to see how the competition builds up!
Another year passes and Rainbow Six Siege Esports continues to develop. Accordingly, the esport has found its place as one of the top, though needing a little work. Anyway, let’s discuss this further in this episode of Esports Roadmap by taking a look at Rainbow Six Siege Esports 2022!
Rainbow Six Siege Esports 2022 – Starting with the Six Invitational
Indeed, while many other esports utilize the calendar year as a model, competitive Rainbow Six Siege is a little different. Accordingly, right now the community is buzzing for the upcoming event of the year – the Six Invitational 2022.
Bearing this in mind as the end of the season, Ubisoft hasn’t provided information regarding the regular season to follow.
Anyway, there are two main international events to keep an eye on:
Six Invitational 2022 – February 8-20th 2022
Six World Cup 2022 – Jun 1st to Aug 1st 2022
Credits: Ubisoft
Yes, for those unaware, the World Cup of 2021 was postponed to next year. Historically being one of the most successful esports events, we’re ecstatic for its return.
Besides these staple events, the regular season will likely start back up in March and continue until the next Six Invitational, offering multiple Majors in between regional leagues such as the Stockholm Major from this past year. The following are some of the main regions to keep track of:
Asia Pacific
Europe
North America
Latin America
With many events planned for offline venues, we can’t wait for the coming year.
For the most part, most teams are preparing for the upcoming Six Invitational in 2022. Accordingly, Rainbow Six Siege is witnessing a few changes. Indeed, DarkZero Esports R6S 2022 has announced a change but not for its active roster – read on to learn more!

Indeed, for the most part, changes occur to the main roster in order to try and reap more success.
The best kept secret in Rainbow Six Siege history has finally been unveiled.
However, this change isn’t about that. Instead, DarkZero Esports has decided to sign content creators, to help entertain their growing fanbase. Indeed, one of the most popular content creators is on board, with former contender in “Pengu” now on board.
He’ll be entertaining the community as always, while the competitive roster will continue to compete:
As we head into the holidays, competitive Rainbow Six Siege is taking a small break. However, it’s not the conclusion of the season. In fact, it’s actually time for players to prepare for the largest event of the year – the Six Invitational 2022. Read on as highlight the 16 Six Invitational 2022 teams confirmed so far!
Six Invitational 2022 Teams – Four Qualifier Left
Indeed, over this past year, teams from across all regions have been earning Global Points to climb the Global Standings and earn a seed into this exciting event.
However, that’s not all. Indeed, there are 4 more spots to give out. Specifically, Ubisoft will be hosting a Last Chance Qualifier for the four most popular regions:
Asia Pacific Qualifier – 8th January
European Qualifier – 22nd January
North American Qualifier – 29th January
Latin American Qualifier – 15th January
However, as a closed qualifier, the second best teams will be competing. We can’t wait to see who makes it.
What’s a competition season without an epic concluding event? Accordingly, that’s what Ubisoft plans to do with the NAL Finals 2021 R6S to conclude Stage 3. Indeed, with the event taking place as soon as a week and a half, here at esportsguide we have you covered with all of the necessary viewership details below!

With regards to format, it’s a relatively simple format considering the few teams attending this A-Tier event.
Just like the EU region, there’ll be a single-elimination bracket with BO3 matches. For those unaware, a single-elimination bracket implies that all teams will have one chance to proceed further into the competition. One loss sends you home immediately.
Here’s how the format looks like:
Semifinal 1 – Spacestation Gaming vs DarkZero
Semfinal 2 – Oxygen Esports vs Soniqs
Grand Final – Winner of SF1 vs Winner of SF2
With that out of the way, time to dive into the schedule of this event

Heading into the Stage 3 Finals, we have a few events to consider with our predictions. Accordingly, let’s start by looking at the Stage 3 season placings with these four teams:
1 – Spacestation Gaming
2 – Oxygen Esports
3 – Soniqs
4 – DarkZero Esports
With this in mind, it’s quite clear that Spacestation Gaming are in fact your favourites for this incoming event.

This also reflects itself in the international standings, as seen at the Six Sweden Major 2021. Here’s how the teams placed there:
5-8th – Spacestation Gaming
9-12th – Soniqs
13-16th – Oxygen Esports
13-16th – DarkZero Esports
Once again we can only reconfirm that Spacestation Gaming are in fact your favourites.
However, that’s where the clarity ends. That’s because second place is quite difficult to predict, as it’ll likely sit between Soniqs and Oxygen Esports. Personally, it’ll likely be Oxygen Esports due to regional success.
In last place, we’re predicting DarkZero Esports to place last here.
Regardless of our predictions, anything can happen. Accordingly, since the Six Stockholm Major certain roster changes have taken place and the game has changed slightly.
Otherwise, we hope to see some great viewership numbers too.
