Ubisoft just announced the plans for the 2019 season of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege US Nationals. That's right, boys and girls, yet another esports championship right around the corner to chew up your time. If you know what you're doing (and don't have a team where you let you cousin play, cuz he "doesn't really have any friends"), then you should jump into this second season, as the US Nationals is open to all players in the United States who have a pair, and the grand prize pool is $150,000, plus the winning team can take the glory-cred that is being called Team USA. The US Nationals begins on April 6th with open qualifiers, so you better brush up your skills quick-like.
The US Nationals is divided into Eastern and Western Conferences, so you can rep your preferred region, and yell "West-siiiiiiiiiide" at everyone, which is a lot of fun. Teams will participate in open online qualifier Saturday tournaments in both conferences, with two broadcast days per week; the Western Conference teams will compete live on Tuesdays and the Eastern Conference teams on Thursdays.
In December 2019, the national finals will take place, with eight teams traveling and competing at the live event finals with four teams from each Conference representing their region. The top placing team in each of the three Stage Finals along with the winning wildcard teams from the last chance qualifier tourney in October will round out the four teams, and fight for the cheddar and the respect.
Players can sign up now to participate here.
