A real stage for the open scene
A Rainbow Six Siege tournament that gives amateur and semi-pro teams from across Europe and the MENA region a real stage: open to everyone, competitively relevant as a Primary tournament in the EML Challenger Circuit, and with a final that feels like a pro event.
Ubisoft commissioned the Combine and the concept is ours. We have run it end to end since the first edition in 2023, from the first idea to the trophy ceremony.
