ESL, together with Ubisoft and Xbox, is excited to announce Season 2 of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Pro League! The global competition is set to begin on May 30 for Xbox One and June 2 for PC, with this second season to give players the chance to compete against some of the most seasoned Rainbow Six Siege players in order to try and get their hands on a share of the US$150,000 prize pool.
The Season 1 Finals
Before Season 2 begins, the top two Season 1 teams from Europe and North America will go head to head in order to see who is worthy of claiming the Season 1 champion title. Teams will also be competing for the lion’s share of a cool US$50,000 prize pool, which is up for grabs in both the Xbox and PC finals and means competition is bound to be fierce.
Season 1 Xbox One Finals
• When: Friday, April 22
• Where: The ESL arena at PAX East, Boston, Massachusetts
Season 1 PC Finals
• When: Saturday, May 7
• Where: The ESL studios in Cologne, Germany
