Today, Ubisoft announced that a selection of the top sixteen Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six teams worldwide will compete for the title of World Champion in the 2019 edition of the Six Invitational. The third year of the Six Invitational brings together fans, professional players, developers and content creators to celebrate Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.
