The Entire History of Rainbow 6 Esports in 150 Minutes

[@ChiralWolf]

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

[@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.

[@drippin6273]

Cheaters 😢

[@alessandrovitii]

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

[@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.

[@victorzszzz]

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!

[@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.

[@enigma4019]

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.

[@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! ❤

[@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!

[@FUNDAM3NT]

The taken king music building up g2 winning the first major is beautiful

[@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.

[@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)

[@prince_hakim]

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 ❤❤

[@denkers52]

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

[@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

[@holzkopf_tv3963]

Great video, brought back the good memories !

[@Mixu.]

This hit out of nowhere, and I immediately had to make a movie night out of it. Great job!

[@Petjuspelailee]

KANTO in his prime was the greatest player the game has ever seen all the og's know.

[@ROFLBOB24]

Kanto was a god while 50rd mag, recoilless Ela and instant dropshot with ADS existed. He wasn't the greatest player the game has ever seen on a fundamental level, he was the best at abusing mechanics that never belonged in Siege. There is decently long list of players who are better, who are able to slap people around like Kanto did (or more) without running around on Ela/Zof dropshotting everyone.

[@ericboni6366]

@@ROFLBOB24 Actually you have written the most incorrect thing ever. First of all the only event close to him joining Penta, where we have seen Kanto playing a lot Ela, is PL s6 (talking about finals), where he got the highest KD and rating, MVP. In PLs7 they lost to Liquid but Kanto was the second in rating & KD and the highest on Entry with most picked Dokkaebi - Mira, EVP. The first ever Major he got MVP, the highest number of kill, second of KD, by one kill, to Pengu, and the highest rating/map with most picked Ash - Vigil. in PLs8 he didn't get nothing, aside the clutch in final vs Faze and the highest number of entry kill, most picked Ash - Echo. SI19 MVP, highest KD, highest kpr/map, highest rating/map most picked Ash - Vigil. Six Major Raleigh EVP, second in entry & rating/map, first in KD most picked Zofia - Jager. That's it, belive it or not but Kantoraketti has been the best fragger in R6 during the Penta/g2 era. I don't even wanna respond about the "dropshot" thing, you must not know what a dropshot is.

[@ROFLBOB24]

@@ericboni6366 "ackchyually" Dude fell off right after the meta stopped being cancer.

[@ericboni6366]

@@ROFLBOB24 The stats are undeniable, he was the best fragger back then, your opinion doesnt change the fact. After the meta changed he played more like a flex/sup, i agree that became worse, but also many other pro, so i don't see your point again. Then your calling that meta cancer when the one we have now it's actually a run&gun TDM 💀

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@xerxesZinc]

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

[@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.

[@zironicdk]

Good stuff homie.

[@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.

[@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

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!

[@fancy_pixel]

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

[@Rystrocity]

Haven't played in 4 years (due to GPU breaking and adulthood and work started) this was a game I enjoyed because I enjoyed the style of it and a friend recommended it to me, had 800 hours it's rookie numbers but it was all a blast. Kix is the one I followed the most and helped me during my noob days him and his community. Coming back and being able to play again this month the excitement is still the same so many new operators aside from drama and stuff it's good to be back. Hoping Kix is watching and enjoying his life above the clouds! Am hopeful for the game and the community hopefully we all get a long and enjoy the game 🎉

[@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

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
