Rainbow Six Siege’s The Esports Club League just concluded its fifth playday for division three 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 fifth playday was between NAT and Psync Ignite. The match was played on Oregon, which is a very defender-sided map. The match went into overtime, which made the game very intense. Ignite was able to win the match with an 8-6 scoreline. With the victory, Ignite gained a point and now sits on top of the leaderboard. The match between the top two teams in division three taught us how competitive matches in this league can get.
Another exciting match to watch was between Sangfroid Esports and Live To Kill. This match was played on Coastline. Coastline is a super frag-heavy map, so it favors teams like Live To Kill. However, due to some technical issues, Sangfroid had to play 4v5 the entire match. Live To Kill won the match with a 7-1 scoreline, allowing them to rank higher in the leaderboard.
