It always sucks to see your favourite events cancelled or delayed, especially when we're talking about huge annual esports tournaments like the Rainbow Six Siege Six Invitational 2021, which was recently postponed. However, the FPS game's community has rallied to make up for the contest's absence, and created a "Memevitational" instead.
'What is a Rainbow Six Siege Memevitational?' you may rightly ask. Well, as spotted by The Loadout, it's a collaborative tournament being organised - and featuring - "some of the biggest and best names in Siege", as former esports analyst Jack 'Fresh' Allen says on Twitter. "Pretty excited for this whole R6 Memevitational tournament," he says, explaining that "four days ago, it was just an idea conceptualised in a Discord group chat, and now we have near enough ten confirmed teams, with some of the biggest and best names in Siege."
As you can see in the screenshot of this early conceptualisation below, it looks like the process of putting this tournament together has been a collaborative process between some of the multiplayer game's popular talents, such as commentator Derry 'Dezachu' Holt, who appears to have coined the contest's name.
