Continental Cup will replace Major in 2021

The Copa Elite Six da América (Elite Six Cup) will feature the best Latin American teams competing in the Rainbow Six Siege in the Continental Cup, which kicks off Tuesday, April 20, with a total championship prize pool of $ 161,000. The tournament itself is hosted by Ubisoft and sponsored by Acer, which promotes its Predator laptop brand, as well as Logitech and Intel.

Participants qualified through local leagues in the Brazilian Championship, the Mexico Championship and the South American Championship. Mexico will be represented by Fenix Esports and Atheris Esports, while Argentina will be represented by 9z Team and Malvinas Gaming. There are three representatives in Brazil: MIBR, FURIA and Team oNe.

Ninjas in Pajamas, FaZe Clan and Team Liquid are not originally Brazilian organizations, but as they invest and field Brazilian squads that qualified for the local league, they will also represent the country in the championship.

Note that the prize pool to be invested in the Major has been split and added to regional competitions in Latin America, Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.
