On December 1 2015, Ubisoft launched Rainbow Six: Siege. Unlike any other online tactical FPS game available, Rainbow Six: Siege offers players their freedom of movement where they can squad up with four other players & compete in a close-quarters, destructible environment. 

It has been over a year since the game launched. Siege now houses 20 million players worldwide 

They offer players free DLC, where players gets eight new operators with unique and different abilities and four new maps every year. This changes the meta of the game, which results in players setting up new and different strategies in order to reign supreme. 

Rainbow Six: Siege also arranges regional tournaments like GO4, ESL Community Cup and international tournaments like the Invitationals & ESL Pro League, where the best teams from all around the world compete against one another to claim their title in the eSports Community. This creates opportunities for youngsters with a passion for eSports from all around the world to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals. 

Many players are shifting to PC from PS4 only to participate in the Pro League, thus increasing the competition.

It's amazing to see that Rainbow Six: Siege is achieving these milestones and gaining new heights. It has also given a positive impact on our Bangladeshi community as well. The number of online players is increasing exponentially. Not only has it opened up many opportunities for youngsters in Bangladesh, it has also helped expand the Bangladeshi community where anyone from anywhere in the country can meet and play with new people, and help others in any way possible. There are currently 1800+ members in the official Facebook group of the community. 

Today, the Bangladeshi community is recognized, internationally, by ex professional ESL players, streamers and casters like KiXSTAr, Sergio-SVM, Serenity17 and many more. 

Rainbow Six: Siege has given the opportunity for Bangladeshi gamers to be internationally recognised and show that there are talented, hard working players from a small country who are dedicated and ready for any challenges they would encounter. To support this statement, the tournament organising committee of Rainbow Six: Siege decided to include Asian Countries from the continent to compete in the ESL Pro League Tournaments, where Bangladesh is also included in the list.

A local online tournament took place from 27th to 30th July. This tournament set the precedent for many more in the future. As Siege gains popularity in Bangladesh, there will come a time when LAN tournaments are hosted for the game.

So if there is anyone who thinks eSports in Bangladesh leads to a dead end, this is a wakeup call to let you know it's to get back and #SiegeOn.
