Rainbow Six Siege’s The Esports Club League just concluded its second playday for division one matches. The tournament has a prize pool of $1,800, which is very high for the South Asia competitive scene. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all the matches will be held online instead of the more traditional LAN environment. The prize pool of the tournament will be split and awarded to the top five teams in every division. You can find the prize pool split here.
The ongoing The Esports Club League is a league-based competition, where every team has to face all their opponents from the same division. After all the matches are played out, every team will have earned points that are determined by the team's wins. The bottom three teams of every division then get demoted to the lower division, or even relegated if you are in division three, which is the lowest division in this league. You can watch live streams of every game on the TEC YouTube page.
The most exciting matchup for the first playday was between Union Gaming and TRN8 Valiants. The match was played on Villa, which is a very strategy-heavy map. The match was super close in terms of score, but Union Gaming ultimately pulled ahead and won with a score of 8-6. Union Gaming kept falling into TRN8’s strategy, which made it hard for UG to push into site. That said, UG was able to frag their way through, giving them one point in the division one leaderboard.
Another exciting match to watch was between Virtual5 Esports and LevelZero Esports. This match was played on Coastline. Coastline is a super frag-heavy map and it favors the attacking side. The match went 7-3 in favor of LevelZero Esports, which was expected as they are the better fraggers. LevelZero’s lineup included operators such as Ash, Twitch, Iq, Hibana, and Sledge, which are known to be frag-heavy characters.
