Ubisoft has announced that 16 of the best Rainbow Six Siege esports teams from around the world will now be headed to Raleigh, North Carolina at the Six Major Raleigh, the first US Major in Rainbow Six history.

The event will take place from August 12 through August 18 (it begins today, you read that correctly) and will find the eight remaining teams battling it out during the Major's Finals phase in competition for a massive prize pool of 500,000 at the Raleigh Convention Center on August 16.
