FAQ:

Who are you?

People call me Iron. I'm a casual Rainbow Six Siege player and a variety streamer. I have been a streamer since slightly more than a year now with a very high focus on bringing high quality streaming content with as little clutter as possible. About 2 months ago I switched

to full on streaming for Charity. Giving away most of the money I earn through twitch to Extra Life. I really enjoy Rainbow Six Siege and liked watching the invitationals, which is what inspired me to host a tournament.


What is the ultimate goal of the tournament?

For everyone to have a good time and to collect funds for charity. The Teams can use this tournament to challenge themselves and to prove themselves live in front of everyone watching. The viewers should be able to enjoy some nice high quality gameplay while being entertained by the amazing

commentator Med1cz and myself. If we reach 1000 Dollars in total for the Charity, I will guarantee another tournament like that this year.


Why is it EU?

Both Med1cz and I are European. To offer good entertainment value it's important that we are at our best. Which means not forcing ourselves to adapt to timezones that are far from us.


Will all games be played on the same day?

Yes, we will complete the entire tournament on the same day.


Why are you able to ban Operators?

It brings in a bit of something experimental that adds some excitement to the tournament. Use this as a chance to spice up your strategies.


Is the stream going to have a delay?

Yes. 3 Minute delay as it's standard for such tournaments. This will prevent people from ghosting streams to gain useful information.


Why Extra Life?

Extra Life is a very reliable charity partner of twitch with whom I had very good experiences with. The very accessable donation button which delivers the money directly to the charity instead of it having to go through me beforehand makes the paperwork for everyone also a whole lot easier.


Will there be shoutouts to people who donate?

Yes, absolutely. Donations will be read between matches. Bigger ones having higher priority.


We reached the charity goal! Now you're going to host another tournament like this one, right?

Yes. I'm known to keep my word and to be a massive quality fanatic. In addition to hosting another tournament I would do everything I can to make it 20 times better than the last one. Perhaps it will cause some kind of chain reaction and we end up making another EVO. Who knows.


Why do you need to have Platinum rank in order to join the tournament?

The goal would be to create a viewer experience. It would be difficult to create one when a Copper team gets stomped by a Diamond team. Hence the Plat rule. Initially I wanted to have a 5 plat requirment but decided against it as in the end it's meant to be a fun community tournament.

The 3 Plat requirement seems like a very nice in between.


Seems like all slots are filled. Is there any chance for me to join?

Absolutely. Very often teams don't end up checking in. It's important to have teams such as yours in reserve for these kinds of situations. Make sure to be ready at all times to receive that message that invites you to join in replacement of another team. Especially a few hours before the tournament


Why are only EU teams allowed to play?

Ping. To create a fairer matchup it's important that all teams have as somewhat similar connection to the server. To compensate I'm planning to make the next tournament centered around NA.


Will there be any Prize?

Beside the possibility of challing yourself, earning honour and glory, no. There won't be any materialistic prize at this current tournament
