The Operator Olympics are back, just in time for the 2021 Six Invitational in Rainbow Six Siege. The in-game event centers on the Stadium map and comes with a new battle pass, which is full of rewards to earn and unlock between now and conclusion to the Six Invitational, Siege's first in-person pro event in a year.
During the multiplayer game's Road to SI event, which begins January 21, you'll be able to play as any operator in three-minute, three-round unranked Plant the Bomb, with Pick and Ban enabled. Four captains have been chosen from Siege's roster: Mira, Capitão, Ash, and Vigil. Each team will be decked out in uniforms based on battle pass-themed content, Ubisoft says.
The battle pass itself offers the usual free and premium tracks. The premium track can be unlocked for 1,200 R6 Credits, and 30% of the revenue raised from sales will be dropped directly into the Six Invitational prize pool, up to a maximum of $3 million USD. That tournament is scheduled to run from February 9-21 in Paris, and as the first in-person LAN event held in Siege since the outbreak of COVID-19, it will be following "strict sanitary measures, in line with guidelines from health organisations and local authorities."
