Today, I am starting my new role as the Competition & Esports Director at Amazon Games.
I am more than excited to have this unique opportunity to engrain the competitive vision and its esports features directly into the DNA of a game that is still in early development.
Me: Can I get a beer please?
Barkeeper: We have Corona, Heineken and Pilsner.
Me: You definitely don’t want an Asian guy with Corona at your bar.
Barkeeper: 🤯😂
Easiest free drink ever.
My team and I are safe.
I am worried about my friends and colleagues that are in the office today. I hope this will be resolved without anyone getting harmed.
Here are the 16 teams for the

It will be an amazing tournament.
While we are all grieving the loss of Kix, it is heartwarming to see the community come together and help each other through these difficult times. This is exactly what Michael stood for. Supporting those around him and lifting them up with his positivity.
This is his legacy.
Imagine showing off your hacks in a match, bragging about them on voice chat, then noticing the Dev Skin on your teammate's weapon, and trying to talk yourself out of it. 🤡
No, your friend request won't prevent you from getting banned.
My condolences first and foremost to Michael's family.
KiX was a shining star of the R6 Siege community. His dedication, knowledge, passion, and positivity for the game and its esports were unmatched. Thank you for everything. You will be dearly missed.
Today marks the end of my 4+ years journey on
@Rainbow6Game
as I conclude my last week at Ubisoft. It has been a great honor and privilege to work alongside so many passionate devs who are dedicated to making Siege a better game each and every day. [1/5]
We all wish you were here with us Michael "KiXSTAr" Stockley. But rest assured that your positivity and influence will remain with the R6 Siege community forever.
2021 has been a harrowing year, but we are ending it on the highest note.
Officially in remission after months of chemotherapy, treatments, side effects, and surgery.
Through sickness and through health. Onto the next chapter.

Stop complaining on comms after getting killed. The rant can hurt your team more than being one person down, as it is both distracting and demoralizing.
Call out who shot you, their position, and switch to cams. You are still in the game and can impact the result of the match.
Thank you for retiring in 2019 and saving us the trouble of banning you. R6 and R6 Esports have no place for sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any kind of bigotry.
Siege has always favored those who were faster to adapt and adjust their strategies. I strongly believe that the removal of the operator quarantine period will reinforce this concept. [1/3]
Two players from the opposing team purposely dropped the N-Bomb after finding out that they are in a match against devs.
You just know their elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top floor.
In case it was unclear:

2022 will take place in Montreal.
SI2021 is scheduled for May 2021. Exact location and dates to be announced at a later time.
We are aware that an individual has posted threatening messages on social media about SI. We take this very seriously. The authorities are actively investigating the situation.
All my encounters with the R6 cosplay community have been great. They are a fantastic bunch and our esports events wouldn't be the same without them.
I also don't recall ever having to remove any of them from the venue for not following our guidelines. So that's another plus.
Sorry to disappoint. I personally think that 2,7 ranked games each day for 2 years straight is a lot.
Keep in mind that I do this off duty.
Just like I looked at your tweets off duty to see you trying to sell an account and posting your main. More disappointment coming your way.
I understand how people can have different views on rulings and decisions. And that's ok.
What's not ok, is to find out about your future and livelihood via social media. I agree with the overall sentiment and many of the comments I've read. We have to do better than that.
I strive to have the mental fortitude and unwavering positivity of KiX's mother one day.
Thank you and
@INTERRO
for hosting this stream. I cannot fathom how incredibly hard this must have been for you.
We did not communicate on this change but made a HUGE update to the shop section, which now highlights esports more than ever:
✅ All R6 Share teams at a glance
✅ Dedicated page for each team
✅ Relevant esports bundles (not showing as I have all 😅)
Let me know your thoughts.
Received some bad personal news. Rough year ahead.
Fair warning to the comedians out there: You've only seen the tame and moderate version of me. I've lost my chill, so better think twice before you come trolling.
When a new World Champion is crowned, the team in second place is often forgotten.
Much respect to Team Empire who made it to the Grand Finals of the Six Invitational for the 2nd time.

You can be proud. {-}7
I won't be able to participate:
1. During R6 Circuit competitive matches players can only use battle dress uniforms listed in section 5.1.3.4.
2. According to the 5.2 Good Sportsmanship Rules, killing an opponent within the first 2 seconds of the round is strictly forbidden.
If you are intentionally using exploits to ruin the fun for others, you might want to take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why you are trash.
The M.U.T.E Protocol Event has been temporarily deactivated after the discovery of an exploit.
We are working on a fix and hope to deliver it very soon. The event and Club Challenges will be extended once the fix is out.
We will update everyone as soon as we have more to share!
Debates about the upper bracket map advantage for the Grand Finals happens every year. Not just in Siege. I don't think there is a perfect tournament format, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on the most balanced incentive / perk for staying in the winner's bracket.
Charms were replaced by team-branded operator background cards as part of each R6 Share bundle. These background cards are universal, which means they can be used on any operator.
Felt motivated to try the SMG-11 after watching Brazilian teams use it with laser precision.
Nope! Still like waking up in the middle of the night drunk and peeing in the dark.
I am wishing you all the success for what comes next, Pengu.
You are stepping down as the greatest of all times in competitive Siege. This is truly the end of an era.
GG WP. 🐐

I almost died last night.
We went extremely close to Fuego Volcano and there was a huge eruption. The rocks hit the area just 25 meters away from us. Even our local guide went: Fuck, fuck, fuck!
What an experience. It was also the most physically draining hike I’ve ever done.
The last R6 competition with a live audience was the Six Invitational 2020, which concluded on February 16, 2020.
After a total of 825 days, we will finally be open to the public again. 💙🤞🏻
