Rainbow Six Siege: The Rise of Esports '1'

With the growing popularity of first-person shooter (FPS) games like Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, and Overwatch in competitive gaming circles, it was only a matter of time before another title entered the fray. Enter Rainbow Six Siege, developed by Ubisoft Montreal.

Rainbow Six Siege: The Rise of Esports

Released back in 2015 for PC and later on consoles in 2020, Rainbow Six Siege initially struggled to gain traction within the competitive scene due its steep learning curve and small player base. However, with the introduction of esports-related features such as ranked matchmaking, seasonal tournaments, and prize pools that rival those found elsewhere in modern gaming – things began changing fast!

The game's unique blend of tactical gameplay combined with strategic map callouts made it an attractive proposition for professional players looking to compete at a high level without having to sacrifice too much skill or experience gained from other FPS titles.

As such interest continued growing organically through word-of-mouth among casual fans who discovered its addictive nature themselves via YouTube streams etc., major organizations took notice and began investing heavily into creating their own teams competing under official branding within Rainbow Six Siege's nascent competitive scene.

One of these top-tier outfits is Team Liquid, a legendary esports organization known for fielding some of the best talent across multiple games including League Of Legends' mid lane star jungler 'Mlxj', CS:GO legend kennyS and more recently signing former OpTic Gaming ace Hiko to their Rainbow Six Siege roster.

The Rise of Pro Leagues

In 2020, ESL (Electronic Sports League) announced its partnership with Ubisoft to create the Rainbow Six Pro League. This move marked a significant turning point for competitive Rainbow Six Siege as it brought official recognition and prize pools that were previously unseen in FPS esports.

Today, we're going to take a closer look at what makes these pro players so successful on stage – from their hardware choices down to software settings tweaks!

Here are some of the most popular picks among top-tier pros:

1. Mouse: Logitech G502

The Logitech G502 is considered one of the best gaming mice available today due its incredible accuracy, speed and durability under heavy use.

2. Keyboard: Razer Black Widow Elite

3. Monitor:

4. Gaming Chair:

5. Headset: SteelSeries Arctis 7

6. Mousepad:

Gaming mouse settings are also crucial for achieving peak performance at high levels of play since even small adjustments can make all the difference between victory or defeat depending on how finely tuned they've been by each individual player himself before heading into actual competition matches where every split second counts as much (if not more) than raw aim alone will determine who comes out victorious at end-of-day results tables being posted online after long grueling seasons come full circle.

7. Mouse sensitivity: 400 DPI

8. Crosshair size and shape: Small dot, centered crosshair

9. In-game movement speed: Maxed out (default)

10. Aim smoothing: Off
