Welcome to Esports 2.0
The management and display of game data in real-time is key to the viewing experience in esports. Knowing at any moment the impact of a player in a high-stakes confrontation enhances the viewing experience.
A new strategic alliance has just been formed, propelling "Rainbow Six Siege" to new technological heights. Ubisoft has recently partnered with GRID Esports, a pioneer in real-time data management. The goal is clear: Together, they aim to enhance the data ecosystem in the competitive world of Rainbow Six Siege esports by integrating live data across nine different regions. GRID has the exclusivity of real-time esports data for Ubisoft. The platform will notably handle the main BLAST R6 competitions.
Competition more engaging than ever
The benefits of this collaboration are numerous: every move, every strategy will be enriched by real-time statistics. It's as if you were in the minds of the players, understanding every choice, every decision. This strategic choice seems forward-looking and would strengthen the engagement of both professionals in the scene and the public towards the competitive ecosystem of the game by bringing these numbers to life during major tournaments, such as the BLAST Majors and the Six Invitationals.
This partnership goes beyond a simple collaboration; it's a shared vision by Ubisoft and GRID to transcend the esports experience. François Tallec from Ubisoft speaks of innovation and community engagement, while Moritz Maurer of GRID envisions building an esports data ecosystem to stimulate the "Rainbow Six Esports" scene. It's a pivotal moment where technology meets electronic sports, opening doors to new exciting opportunities for fans, broadcasters, and players.
Stats, always more stats!
Whether this innovation will also be open to the general public in the future through a retrievable API or only exploited during competitions such as the Major or the Six Invitational, we will have to wait a bit to experience "Rainbow Six Siege" like never before, enough to delight in the new season before the arrival of the Six Invitational.
This agreement between Ubisoft and GRID Esports is the beginning of a new era for esports, where real-time data and analysis will transform how we live and understand the game. It's enough to hope for a future rich in innovations for the esports community! While waiting for the Six Invitational in Sao Paulo next February, the statistics of the Atlanta Major are available on Ubisoft's official website.
