Ubisoft gets the all-clear for offline Six Invitational event

Publisher Ubisoft has announced that its upcoming Rainbow Six Siege esports event, the Six Invitational, will still take place in Paris after gaining authorisation from the French government and local authorities.

The offline event, which commences on May 11th, will take place with no audience on-site and will be under strict sanitary measures, according to the release. The publisher also revealed that all six Brazilian teams that qualified for the Six Invitational have been allowed to enter the country.

Unfortunately, Ubisoft also announced that Wildcard Gaming will not participate in the Invitational. According to the organisation’s official statement, the Australian government denied the team’s request to leave the country.
