2021 Six Invitational sees G2 and Spacestation suffer shock eliminations

There have been two massive upsets during day two of the 2021 Six Invitational Playoffs, whereby both a former champion and the reigning champion have been eliminated from the competition.

The current holders of the iconic sledgehammer trophy Spacestation Gaming and 2019 champion G2 Esports were both sent crashing out of the tournament within an hour of each other, meaning that the winner of the 2021 Six Invitational is guaranteed to be a brand new name.

However, G2 were the first of the two Rainbow Six Siege giants to fall after going down 2-0 to North American team Parabellum.

Rainbow Six Siege: North Star confirmed

After the usual bout of early leaks, Ubisoft is starting to lift the official veil on Rainbow Six Siege Year 6 Season 2. Officially titled North Star, the operation was confirmed with a teaser image today, and given the usual reveal pattern, we should know a lot more about the new season by the end of the week.

The new teaser image features a helicopter flying over a frosty-looking forest with the caption "if you ever need help, just look up." The design of the chopper appears to match the colour scheme used by real-world air-sea rescue helicopters in Canada. As Ubisoft revealed earlier this year, we're getting a new Rainbow Six Siege operator who is from the Nakoda Nations - an Indigenous people based in western Canada (and the US, originally, too) - coming.

Siege is always a leaky ship, and word from leakers suggest that the new op will be a three-speed defender codenamed Thunderbird, equipped by default with a Spear .308 or SPAS-15, a Q-929 or Bearing-9, and an impact grenade or C4.

Rainbow Six Siege's system requirements have been revealed

With Rainbow Six Siege launching at the start of December, now would be a good time to make sure you've got a rig that can run it. Conveniently, Ubisoft have just revealed the PC system requirements.

The good news is that they aren't particularly steep, and a broad range of PCs should be able to handle all the explosions, terrorist hunts and firefights that are thrown their way.
