Take a look below at the different Rainbow Six college events that students hosted across North America this year:

January 24th - Carleton University

Our first stop of the Fall Semester was up north at FrostFire hosted by Carleton! FrostFire has become a staple at the university and it was a real joy to see Rainbow Six added to their selection of games! 

January 25-26th - University of Kentucky

Rally Cry’s next stop was to the University of Kentucky, helping them run a 2-Day 16 team R6 LAN event. While there was a strong showing from everyone, it was University of Cincinnati claiming the title and a piece of the 1.6k prize pool.

January 22nd - Southern Methodist University

Rally Cry headed South to help support the American Heart Association at the Iron Skillet at SMU! The annual tournament between the esports teams of Southern Methodist University and Texas Christian University saw the addition of Rainbow Six and helped Raise over $500 for the AHA.

February 15-16th - SI Watch Parties

The Six Invitational was happening all throughout February and Rally Cry wanted to watch! Rally Cry funded multiple different watch parties across the us! Most notably at Northeastern University, North Carolina State University and Florida Memorial University!

February 23rd - Ohlone College

Our next stop was out west at Ohlone College where we held an R6 themed trivia night!

March 21st - North Carolina State University

We had so much fun at NCSU’s watch party we decided to stay for their next event! NCSU Hosted the Triangle Takedown featuring R6 for the first time!

April 27th - University of Cincinnati

After seeing the University of Cincinnati at all the other LAN events it was time to help them host their own! Queen City Clash featured another 16 R6 teams. The reigning UKY Invitational Champs couldn't win at home though as Fisher College came in and took their share of the $2500 prize pool.

May 31st - Golden Coast Clash

Rally Cry ended the season with a bang partnering up with R6 Collegiate and supporting the Golden Coast Clash! This event saw 12 of the best west coast teams face off against the beast from the East, Fisher College. The Reining UC LAN winners proved their dominance by only dropping one map and taking first!
