Defuser Plays In 2023 - Rainbow Six Siege

To me the central focus of Siege should always be around the defuser but sadly it's not, team deathmatch has taken over the meta and more often than not the defuser is completely ignored by both teams. There's still an advantage to playing the objective but it requires extra steps compared to simply running and gunning. The advantage defuser plays provide is just not enough to justify the extra steps and effort necessary to get there when players can reasonably win by just running and gunning; so it's no surprise that most players take that path. I hope Ubisoft addresses this because the game is losing it's core principles.

That Kapkan play at the end was insane

[@dbeemer7342]

yeah hes insane he just reads people like a book and can force them into situations like that all the time he has made me so much better at this game.

[@HadrixEvonGlory]

The fact that the entire point of it too was to bait out the peek and it still came in handy was so clutch

[@HolyMith]

@@HadrixEvonGlory Yeah I was wondering why earlier on he was tapping rather than holding the angle to suprise someone. He wanted someone to be tempted to take the gunfight so he would know they were over his c4. 200IQ as usual.

[@shootamcgaven7452]

I forgot about the nitro cell completely

[@clockwise8026]

I'm too stunned, wtf happened bro

[@GrimmlyGrizz]

10:45 A perfect showcase of Kapkan's own operator video quote, "They forgot the first rule of survival, A real hunter always watches where he steps."

[@guestuser4159]

Playing the game how it's meant to be played and winning from doing so feels so good

[@ZeHamberglar]

That poor zofia. She had 3 people just eyeballing her through cams and Pulse circling underneath like a shark in the water.

[@heliscarried]

Solis still alive too😭😭

[@dawsonsschittcreek5395]

5:02 looks sus AF

[@murderforhire2]

@@dawsonsschittcreek5395 He was yellowed ping the whole way 😂

[@forzaflash]

One of my favorite things about Macie is his ability for patience. He lets things play out where in many instances most players would push, and of course after the years, he has mastered his cool under many pressuring situations and with little health or time. On this video alone you have the way he forced Buck to plant or the Kapkan clip at the end, where his team is pressuring him to run in to stop the plant, had the sound made sense it seemed like IQ was planting in the same spot as Ace (on whom Macie was also patient with to gain map control), having that C4 there still made it even funnier, but I feel other players would've gotten themselves killed by IQ simply because they ran in instead. I point it out because it's cool but because it's how I aspire to play, I struggle in recognizing moments when to push or when to be patient, to some extent anyway, and then again, my console "top lobbies" are even worse in TDM Meta... Soooo sometimes playing braindead somehow yields better results, or understanding the enemy's smarts 😅 which sucks but whatever I guess :(

[@greyfox4838]

He was also very patient in the clip where someone was diffusing on the pool table while 2 others were running out. He still calmly focused on killing the 2 before getting the final guy at the last second of diffusing. All without panicking.

[@-Erne]

With teammates not so much anymore

[@zeroxdan]

The trick is to trust in yourself and try things out. Sometimes you will get it wrong, but over time you"ll find what works for you :)

[@Kaidenki]

apparently in stream against godlynoob, he just calls everyone a hacker lmfao. What he shows on youtube vs how he is in real-time are two different personality loool

[@dawsonsschittcreek5395]

​@@Kaidenkiand 5:02 looks sus AF. Bro was shooting before body even showed...

[@og_smurf9286]

Holy smokes that Kapkan play was insane at the end but also those montane plays are nice 👍 keep up the good work Macie

[@willscil12]

3:58 Love how Macie holds the impact to see if he would get off plant, cause if he threw it right away and he got off plant, Macie prob would've lost the fight. Genius

[@_MM03]

🐐 of Rainbow 6!!

[@sereapple]

That transition at 7:19 has me blown away. Monty is always a good pick if you're going to do a clean one, take notes fellas.

[@BarcelonaBlitzer]

Say goodbye to Monty having this to defend himself.

[@Leverag]

@@BarcelonaBlitzer what are they doing to monty?

[@BarcelonaBlitzer]

@@Leverag Shield will lose hip fire and make shield lose practically every ranged engagement with the ads speed

[@chickdrummer88]

IQ just casually running past Pulse in 2023.

[@MacieJay]

It's not even really that surprising anymore.

[@Spoofkill]

The humiliation Macie dishes out is so satisfyingly annoying 😂😂

[@Randellro111]

When ranked gets too chaotic and brain numbing i like to watch Macie high IQ videos to calm down a bit

[@mcJones723]

The game must playing like this

[@wildeskompositum9556]

High IQ lmao

[@heyjxue]

Feel like this may be one of your best videos yet, especially at a time when many players are TDMing like you've talked about. Amazing stuff Macie

[@mumblenumble7626]

PLEASE NEVER STOP POSTING, ONLY REASON WHY I HAVE ANY INTEREST IN SIEGE.🙌

[@jamesmnguyen]

10:10 I guess his preplaced C4 is not going to work this round 10:45 Wait...No way.

[@KAAAARP]

Full agree on the description there. Maybe there should be a penalty to sprinting for a few seconds afterwards, or something along those lines. it surely wont be pleasant for pure gameplay, but sometimes the cure has to hurt a bit. there's probably a thousand other things that could be done, but that's the first thing that came to my mind.

[@DWedge]

Probably my favorite video of yours today, love objective play in Siege and a whole video dedicated to it is chef's kiss.

[@ratonfloor]

Macie’s videos are the only ones I save for later. I know I’m gonna really enjoy it so I put off watching it. It’s like exciting lol

[@masjanin]

i really enjoy longer clips. good work, man

[@Trepanation21]

That description is mint. I'm glad you're not only consistently calling it out (even in your videos when your teammates and opponents just 4head the match), but that you're doing your best to play Siege the way it's meant to be played, and keeping that Rainbow Six spirit.

[@dspannplayspiano]

I read your description. I 1000% agree. Siege needs a loving touch to help it stay fly.

[@amirrezaghayori6413]

omg you could feel the new mic kick in after 4:30 ish .. so nice to hear your calming voice with this quality!

[@lNiizz]

nice plays! love the videos

[@lucasmoita2153]

You always deliver macie, such great content. Don't ever stop.

[@GuberShep]

LOL that impact nade. "I coulda just shot her" highly amusing, thank you for including that

[@AzN_Elevation]

I was patiently waiting for that nitro play at the end and man was it worth it!

[@TerribleJhoe]

You should consider adding match replay perspective on that last play because it was so sick.

[@Codes-0704]

Macie: “You ready for this Chat?” Chat: *howls in anticipation*

[@waazor6]

Every video i learn something new, thankyou :D

[@brandonspence396]

I wasn't ready for the last clip Macie

[@TheGyorn]

And that's why I watch your videos!!! Love it!

[@vzlfkr]

Noo way... that last clip tho. Cold af

[@abrahamc3057]

Big Brain Macy! lol great stuff

[@incrediblyjohnny]

Awesome stuff man!!!

[@rayfuentes1557]

That was a spicy set of clips, dang!

[@BorrietheBlade]

Talk about giga brain. I really should start my day with your videos instead of at dinner time. I'm pumped now. Thank you MJ 🤘🏼 🍻

[@Trepanation21]

jfc that finale, Macie wthahaha

[@redacted8472]

I need me a teammate like him.

[@ramirezlensonjosephwhiteca5030]

Its me I'm him

[@roccoficociello3813]

another great watch. Well done

[@jay_mp4]

Bro watched the vid in x2

[@MacieJay]

Appreciate it.

[@iancraig5415]

Those were some beautiful calls in that first clip

[@Hoondaju]

that last play was something lol

[@ndawgh]

Macie Jay monty plays are what I live for

[@PilotInspektor]

Thanks for guide! I'm not play in CS anymore!

[@liampowis6942]

I havent played Siege in years and dont intend to (probably) ever again. I still come back for your videos.

[@shevtotorpice1079]

I like that Macie always play with different operators

[@bulletwong]

The last kapkan play is awesome. It was like MJ: I am 3 mins ahead of you. I put the C4 there at the begining so you will suffer from it at the end.

[@TheTEN24]

That final play was too funny lmao

[@heem2k]

love this vid like all of ur vids but i would not have put the f2 clip in with the amount of wiffs lmao

[@lore8331]

the minute 4:42 made me think about the MJ rage episode in Costa haha: main hall kapkan, main all kapkan, main all, KAPKAN MAIN HALL

[@timothyevans2023]

That last clip was insane!

[@fornax4676]

I liked the tip about blowing up doors from the inside with Flores.

[@Fernandinha-hl9qj]

The best part: Watching this on live!

[@coltonjones4180]

Macy! Post more than once every two weeks! We want more!

[@HafifSyukra]

Just so you know Macie, I have never played Siege. Watching you play Siege is something I do at times. Hahaha

[@Grimsdead]

Ain’t nothing like getting off work, kicking back & watching some good ole MJ content.

[@SaebriSelect]

what a banger. how u keep doin it xD

[@AfflictionGG]

That was some of the most insane fundamental siege I’ve ever seen. Macie you’re GROSS 🤢🤌🏽

[@mesmetron_]

bro the last clip was so insane xD

[@aamashqaiser9967]

Had me worried at the end when you were looking the wrong way when the sound was coming from the left xD

[@nolimi7_]

The Montagne Plays tho, LOVE IT

[@antonbriones237]

Macie can you do a 1 hour compilation please? Your videos are so good man, but too short!

[@lagspresso]

That Theme Park round was perhaps the best round of Siege I have ever seen on this channel. Beautiful.

[@guccighandi6870]

wow lol loved the last play..

[@getwreckednerds6433]

Macies game knowledge is unmatched

[@RYANFERNS19]

The Kapkan C4 play was sooooo nice

[@CrazyRampage]

0:10 lmao the disappointment

[@BlueAzur0]

i love macie so much he shows you dont need to be mechanically goated to still win you just have to be smart

[@names_dave]

Imagine informing Macie Jay that he “can play solis from below” 💀

[@Starry-kshx]

I love how the Macie play this game,Although I haven't played Siege four years.

[@jblaze2023]

You’re the best to ever do it!!! ❤

[@user-le8jv7pm5d]

Its quite interesting seeing how you utilize less played operators like monty

[@metavault0923]

I had never thought of that, what a nightmare 1v2 against Solis and Pulse, in that site, can't think of a worst cenario lol

[@berkaybal195]

Oh my god the ending was something else

[@RapIsPoetry2012]

the last one... INSANE! What a play, WOW!

[@248SUPERMARIO52811]

We need a monty special Macie

[@theunderachiever2334]

Last one was such an explosive round

[@Leviathan-sz3st]

Yeah end clip was insane

[@user-si2lz2vx8f]

Nice talk teammeber, smart planning

[@juan_gotdeported]

THAT LAST PLAY WENT NUTSZ

[@nautloomans2264]

Old Kapkan clip.. 1.5 scope was so nice

[@carsonbiggerstaff1031]

I have a love/hate relationship for the way you play Monty. Clearly you’re way better than me and always will be, but I main Monty and am so intrigued by how you play him sometimes lol. Much love

[@MrDrNits]

Just coming back to Siege, what is it about the meta that makes it so TDM oriented? And are there any viable solutions, becuase I agree that it should be focused around the objective.

[@Thatonem8]

At least that warden (villa clip with Flores) activated their glasses…

[@Rojas_Tarchoun]

That C4 🐐

[@Zebrahhh]

That Kapkan play 💦

[@pauli383]

Don’t give up on siege Macie ❤

[@z32twinturbo13]

The last plant was too funny.

[@mcJones723]

what a C4, holy!

[@YurisKonstante]

you got a new mic? sounds good!

[@MacieJay]

I do, thanks so much.

[@KirillT14]

That was the last thing that guy expected at the end.

[@ramirezlensonjosephwhiteca5030]

Twitch play was my favorite!

[@quince537]

I completely forgot the c4 was still there in the last clip, got it got destroyed or something, great awareness at the end.

[@gunndyy]

The last clip is such a macie clip lmao

[@SamMarsh04]

That Monty play on theme was hectic as…

[@leader319]

never realised how detailed the defuser was till this thumb nail

[@ASR6]

I love how the game we love is getting lost more and more day by day as it is turned into a deathmatch with additional steps.
