Game developer Ubisoft has announced that the last Rainbow Six Major of 2021 will be held in Gävle, Sweden.
The event was originally planned to take place in Asia, however, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic plans were made to change the Major’s location.
This is only Rainbow Six’s second Major of 2021, with the event set to follow the same format as the Six Mexico Major that was held in Mexico City this summer.
Ubisoft clarified the reasoning behind moving the competition to Sweden in a release: “As we announced early 2020, our initial plan was to host this Six Major in Asia, however, due to the ongoing pandemic, we had to switch locations to take into account travel restrictions and local regulations.
