The Entire History of Rainbow 6 Esports in 150 Minutes

[@damarschel9476]

I still remember seeing the little pop-up in my corner on the home screen saying "The Finals of The Six Invitational are now live", having never watched any pro R6. Seeing Penta win that Coastline was the most insane feeling ever, and since then Esports has captivated me. I remember sitting in PS4 Voice Calls with friends and watching pro matches on my phone. Those days were so amazing, and the fact that the game has only evolved since just brings a huge smile to face.

Enjoyed working on this! A real movie right here

[@benjammin5252]

Even though I haven’t played siege in quite some time, just starting this video, I’m tearing up remembering kixstar. He was such a big reason why I stayed with siege so long. I miss him so much. Never been so impacted and devastated by a loss of someone I’ve never met before.

[@ChiralWolf]

So bittersweet, very grateful for your putting this together. RIP Kix

[@16dbuse]

Great show, thank you. My favorite moment of Siege was when my son comes downstairs and told me he was going to play for OXG, until I attended SI23 in Montreal and watched Nuers walk out on that stage, fucking incredible.

[@Spurrrg]

I loved the Penta era of professional siege. The game was fresh and people werent really sure of where the skill ceiling was so you would have many individual talents who had their signature ways of playing.

[@MenixOfficial]

What an incredible project ❤️ Thank you, Milosh! :)

[@LealXP]

The one thing i think most people don't remember and i think is super under-rated was this small promo/introduction videos from the teams in SI 2021 @1:17:39 in this video. It was so cool to see and watch and get to know, in sometimes, a goofy and cheerful manner the players from your favorite teams. I think it would be super fun and cool to do something like this for this years SI or the next one.

[@tourneyearnie]

Only 32 minutes in but I wanted to say that this is kick ass Milosh. Absolutely beautiful. I love the Destiny 2 soundtrack thrown in here and there, another one of my favorite games.

[@alessandrovitii]

I will never forget that 22 round coastline game. Watching kanto get that spawn kill to give g2 the edge. Absolutely unforgettable

[@xerxesZinc]

It took me 4 Sittings to watch it whole. Thanks for such a amazing document. RIP Kix

[@r3dout691]

Ive watched Pro League since Y1 when i was 12/13 years old. I was a german kid that watched Continuum form and stayed loyal with EG. I watched every fucking game till nvK and Yung both went out in Challanger League. Ever since ive only watched here and there but truth is that my dearest thing in the years 2016-2019 was Pro League and EG. My favorite time of the year was not Christmas no. It was febuary because of the Six Invitational. PL shaped me a lot. Honestly i couldnt speak english before i watched Pro League. I learned english through the casters. Thanks for bringing these old memories back

[@bignoob24]

1:04 That's me. Idk why I do this with Siege, Cod, and Basketball but I just watch every game from every major league as much as possible.

[@QVESTMusic]

34:30 well done for including this; it didn't feel forced at all and was a good talking point.

How could I miss this! This is just the video I needed. Thank you man

[@supaoli7821]

Loved the byf reference, as a player from both games gotta say his work is phenomenal and inspiring. Great film/essay, keep up the works!

[@TrentJohnson-qx4hx]

It's a chilly Friday night in the winter of 2018. You and the boys fresh off school load up siege. The lobby music hits sending chills down your spine. You climb your way all the way to through gold to get to plat until its 4 in the morning and it's time to go to bed, wake up and repeat it all over again. Some of the best laughs and chats of my childhood. Man, take me back. Great work Milosh

[@jtg01dfish81]

Was a Hardcore fan from Y1S3 to NAL/EUL Stage 2. Still watch some big events, but sadly, in ever decreasing quantity. What an amazing video, from a giant nostalgia hit but also some new stuff that I didn't know happened in the last year or 2. I'll be forever indebted to you Milosh and everyone else who makes R6 esports what it is for bringing me so much joy, especially during 2016-19 when I was in a really rough headspace. Fucking love you bro

[@edswinbourne6649]

Love this. Like Pojo's digests, shedding some light on the obscure early parts of siege esports. "The king is dead, long live the king" from the Raleigh major is an iconic line. Great video Milosh.

[@jS-exe]

Great video, Milosh! I`ve been watching Rainbow Six Esports since the very beginning and this video is the ultimate R6 Esports documentary. This is pure cinema quality. Love you, mate! Keep it up! Much love from Brazil!

[@TheAlmightyGoiter]

So dope the community has someone like you Milosh! I appreciate everything you and all your friends have done for the game.

[@DWedge]

Such an enjoyable video filled, overflowing even, with love and care. It's pretty wild finishing this video after spending the last week watching the group stages of SI 2024 with the overall hype built up, rightfully so, behind a lot of rosters that didn't perform as expected or the rosters that hadn't had as much of an expectation put on them and they showed up!

[@denkers52]

Great video As an SSG enjoyer that Rampy clip at 44:01 always hurts to watch

[@ThomasErixn]

Yo that's sick. I was watching a byf video of all the destiny lore and came to this video cuz I though "hey, someone should do sumn like this for seige" and now I'm here

[@SvenAntoniMaxim]

Incredible work Milosh (and all the others that helped shape this project), I loved watching this whole story unfold once again. The structure and formatting, as well as the storytelling was really on point! Also a sidenote, I really loved the persona music XD made me unreasonably happy as a fan of that series.

[@TheJackal25]

Thank you so much for putting this all together Ghassan. I loved reliving all of it - the heartbreaks and tragedies are made easier by knowing that there's a community feeling them with you, and the triumphs are made more wonderful by having people with you sharing in your enthrallment. You, through all your work in Siege ESports and through this video, bring the community closer together so that we *can* feel these things together, and that makes the world of difference. Go raibh míle, míle maith agat.

[@woobacckk]

i really do appreciate your hardwork dedication and special place you have in the r6 community you are a gem milosh

[@00Beano]

Really good comprehensive video, watched it after the grand final yesterday. Congrats on the MVP award, very well deserved, thanks for all your hard work in the scene. Great acceptance speech too, hopefully I'll get to hear you live in my hometown of Manchester in May.

[@carterwalls9576]

The banana buff and panba party time were some of my fav moments in esports

[@Babareteado]

been playing siege since 2015 and watching pl since era vs cTm, this game has given me nothing but happiness we as community deserved this video. I still thinking about Kix's death R.I.P. Love siege and everything it has given to me

[@philtheplant616]

Just finished this absolute masterpiece of a video! It was a great watch and super informative for someone who started watching the scene a bit later into its life. Thank you Milosh and whoever else worked on the production of this vid! It will be a great timestamp for people to come back to and learn about R6's great history!

[@ermluc1711]

Thanks Milosh for bringing back the memories :)

[@NiranjanDixit23]

This was a very beautiful essay Ghassan. I have been playing siege since BB and Valk came out back in July of 2016, and it is my first FPS game too! Remembering the late nights I spent with a bunch of mates I found on discord because of the friend who showed me this game, takes me back to my engineering bachelor's days... that excitement, that fun, the ranked games we would play by hopping onto EU servers by changing the server in the config file... Ah... Even today, I get very excited every time plane comes up in Casual (YES, CASUAL). I feel like this was a very beautiful trip down the memory lane of you, Siege, and also myself. Thanks for this :)

[@tomaz9601]

2022 was a interesting year, as a brazilian it was a bit sad for me since we didnt win anything but it was nice seeing TSM wining Si after having to face all BR teams, they really deserved the hammer. Charlote major was very frustrating due to the Visa issues for many BR players, I dont remember anything from that tournament. Berlim and Jonkoping were fun to watch since Faze and Liquid made it to the Grand Finals and Shaiko won something with BDS. But one interesting thing to observe was the development of W7M in that year and at the next Si.

[@lokigodofrandom5695]

that was exactly the kind of vid i was looking for for a LONG time (also thanks for letting me know about W7Ms last dance i had no idea)

[@einfachjan36]

Thank you Milosh for this incredible video and allowing me to relive so many great memories! I started playing the game back in skull rain and started watching the e-sports tournaments after the first invitational. If I remember correctly the grand final was actually the first match I ever saw and it got me hooked immediately. And with me being from Germany I cheered for Penta with KS as a German on the roaster. Obviously I was very happy with their performance over the seasons and especially their wins at SI2018, the Paris Major and SI2019. The dominance was just unreal and it all looked so easy. After the SI2020 I stopped watching R6 actively and also quit playing a few month later. I was quit happy about the pity invite for G2 and deep down I had some hope that they will prove everyone wrong and defend the title a second time. But with SirBoss being brought on last minute and the generell spirit in the team it was very hard and in hindsight impossible to do it once again. I did watch last years SI grand final and did cheer for G2 just because I had some kind of connection to the org and I also hopped for Fabian to lift the hammer a third time. And I also watched every G2 game of the current SI and obviously cheer for G2 once again, especially for UUNO as him being on the OG roaster back in the day, even though he came at the downfall of their dominance. I don't think I will ever watch as much R6 e-sports as I did back then, but it's still such a good game and great to watch so I will probably tune in now and then. I do have a lot more good memories and could go in great depth about the once I already shared, but it is enough for now :) Thank you again very much, for everything you have done and contributed to this amazing game and I do hope for everyone that you will stay for a long time! ❤

[@naik_kian]

I love this video! Such a nostalgic and thoughtful documentary that many will come back to watch time and time again. The music, the gameplay footage and backdrops used, and the knowledgeable insight, I could gush about this for hours lol. Thank you, Milosh. Rest in peace, Kix.

[@sheyarjames4904]

It must have taken a herculean effort to make this video, thanks you Milosh and wish you the best in Sao Paulo.

[@one-gg]

Wonderful video thanks for making it. It entertained me, made me laugh and cry. Overall I am happy that I haven't paused after 30mins and went to bed but watched it all till 5am. Only love for you, editors and everyone helping.

[@Koosick]

Man I'm lost for words. This video was such an amazing trip through memory lane. Thank you for putting the time and effort in it

[@levelcheap2435]

Man this brings back memories, i started playing Siege in the beta, when I was 13, but ended up quitting in Y5, safe to say this game was a huge part of those years.

Big up the destiny music at 32:20

[@NightSwipe17]

Okay now that I've finished the video - amazing, amazing work on this project. It was a wonderful walk down memory lane full of excitement and sorrow looking at all the events that have shaped this community. And we'll be making more memories as soon as tomorrow!

What an amazing video. A true epic in it's own right, and now a vital part of Siege history in and of itself. Thanks so much for everything you specifically have done for the scene, Milosh. We won't forget it either.

[@DeathSight]

It's funny how even small league players like us from a country like bangladesh can relate so dearly to many parts of this video. Brings back a lot of memories, the competitiveness, the community, the small beefs and all that, excessively nostalgic. Great video my man never thought I would come back to watching siege content like this.

[@jakobkretschmer6198]

I started playing and watching when I got my first PC. It was the season Kali and Wamai were introduced. Sincen then I havent missed a single event to watch. I loved this comprehension and love to have you back as a talent for this event. Keep the work up and have a good time in brazil. :) ❤

[@arthz5821]

I share the same love for siege... this game is incredible, perhaps the best fps ever created.. it's intense and dramatic, every game you have to use all your mental capacity to win round by round... this game can never die , is my life !!

[@2gwells]

You could not be more right about that soundtrack. That was the only one that gave me chills. I am so happy I got to see prime penta/g2 play. I just got my best friend into siege pro league and I'm about to show him si 2018 after this si. This video could not have been timed better. Plus, it's the best host in esports history imo doing it. I can't wait to watch the rest of this video. Thank you for making siege what it is.

[@Martinsanchezjr]

Man I’m 2 minutes and I can feel the emtion and effort you put into this a that I know what ever part kix is in is gonna be emotional. Hope to see you on the SI stream! You’re a r6 og and the real ones kno that milosh

this is amazing, my favorite is and always will be SI 2018 music and the bank moment between faze and dark zero (hotandcold meastro clutch) as a person who went from viewer to coach to on air talent this game grew up on me more than I would have ever guessed

[@andygopfert8725]

For me, six esports had it‘s biggest downfall with the dead of KiX. Not only the voice of r6 esports died that day, but also the voice of siege in general. He was one of the only persons who had the guts to say what is wrong in the game or in the esports. As a player you knew, that when KiX didn’t stream siege in his freetime, the game would be in a bad state. I remember asking him on stream one day, why he isn’t playing siege lately and he literally said: „nah man i‘m not gonna touch siege until next season, the Game is shit boring right now“ - and he was right. With the Six Invitational 2024, six esports did the biggest leap forward since years. The event itself and also all the announcements of upcoming updates where simply incredible. KiX would be proud of that and i can feel, that he’s looking down on us with a big smile knowing, that the game and it‘s scene going to be great again. RIP

Just came from your Instagram Story! I'm not completely done but really well made Video!! I have not followed/watched R6 Esport the last few seasons. I started playing in 2017 and started watching the Pro League pretty much instantly (was definitely a fan of KS as a german) The good old G2 Dynasty was nice to watch and I really enjoyed your Trip down memory lane. You, Interro and KiX(may he rest in peace) were key parts of what made the games fun to watch for me!! (I'm forgetting a lot of people so kudos to all the people involved in the production of all events) Rainbow Six is the only game my friends and I play on a regular basis and that now for 6+Years. I'm grateful you are still spreading the love for this game we all love (and equally hate at times 😂) I hope you get the recognition and the love you deserve for this video ❤ I wish you all the best! (PS. I may not keep up with the esports side of things nowadays but the G2 vs. EG Comeback game is still a video I rewatch regulary)

[@ROFLBOB24]

I consider the 2022 SI performance of TSM to be probably the greatest performance of any team in history, based on the absurd statistics, ridiculous hero plays, and opponent quality. Just as Brazil became king, TSM wrecked Brazil. Merc had the most memorable entry frag performance of all time, dude won opening duels at an unprecedented rate. If you were to take every team in Siege history at their absolute peak, I am convinced TSM would reign supreme, but their curse was that they were allowed to have that performance at a cost: their peak was short and they fell off hard afterwards. I still think that TSM 2022 is the highest peak a Siege team ever reached. PS: Part of the reason I believe this is that TSM also ran what I believe to be the most brutal of gauntlets in history and still won. I can't think of any other team in history who had such a tough schedule and came out victorious. This is the opposite of DZ winning a Mickey Mouse trophy, or Soniqs making deep runs off the back of really soft schedules. TSM had the most difficult run you could scrounge up, and they were the winners.

the most bittersweet part with kix's death is finally the siege community had united for the first time in a very long time. I was so happy that the community did and so happy seeing that we could all mourn together and finally be united, but it was so saddening that it happened that way. we love you kix, we love what you did for siege and I'm so very thankful for all the moments your streams gave and what all your streams did for me and what all it saved me from. we miss you, we love you, and may you rest in peace.

I have to say, my interest in watching pro league (EUL & Majors) genuinely plummeted when i found out you weren’t hosting. I've been part of this scene since Y2 & I felt welcomed by Kix, Parker & yourself whenever I tuned, it didn’t come across 'conventional' commentary but rather friends just having a lovely chat & made the audience feel like it was a two-way convo. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be in this community (my interest is fast fading tbh) but I just wanted to thank you everything & I can’t wait to tune into invite to watch you host once again. oh yeah also goat project ❤❤
