There has been a big surge in Rainbow Six Siege's popularity since it was included as a region in the Global Esports Program. Regional tournaments such as these is a great way for teams to keep in shape and bring home the big bucks. The structured league format also allows teams room to try out different operator compositions, strats and experiment with the map pool. While the global structure currently is limited to regional leagues due to the pandemic, there will come a time when South Asian squads have to face against established opposition.
