Ubisoft has unveiled a partnership with SpecialEffect for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege UK Ireland Nationals esports league to help raise awareness of the work the charity does to enable people with severe physical challenges to enjoy video games. The one-year collaboration will involve multiple charity events and activities to be announced throughout the year.

The UK Ireland Nationals Premier Division Spring Season began on the 14th of January running every Thursday from the 14th of January to the 11th of March to find the top four teams to qualify for the UKIN Spring Finals being held on the 13th and the 14th of March.

There will be eight teams competing, including EUL teams Natus Vincere and newly qualified Cowana Gaming as well as Challenger League finalists MnM Gaming. They join returning teams Demise and Audacity Esports as well as newcomers Wylde and newly qualified Vexed Gaming and LDN Esports from the UK Ireland Nationals Second Division’s playoffs.

£25,000 in prize money is available for the season, with £7,500 for the winners of the finals. The top six teams will qualify for the Summer 2021 season with a chance to earn a spot in the 2021 Challenger League. The bottom two teams will be relegated to the Spring 2021 UK Ireland National Second Division, where they will join teams from epic.LAN 32, NSE and the NUEL’s spring seasons as well as teams from the open qualifier in April and May.
