Check Your 6 - State of the Game

On this episode we discuss the State of Rainbow 6 Siege with a couple of guests: Jzwills and Juhcuzi!

Additionally, and firstly, we discuss the Texas Tech vs Grand Canyon University match up in the Open League Finals!

We touch on subjects like least and most favorite weapons, how the game is balanced, map bans, shooting galleries -- give it a listen and pass it on!

We will also see you in the New Year for the next episode! Enjoy the holidays and stay safe!

Jzwills is a NA Rainbow Six Siege Caster who is casting for @SCS_esports, @CollegiateR6 and @CEA_Hub

Lots of familiar faces battling for the top spots to qualify for Premier and Open Playoffs in CR6 and tight competition for the 12 teams in the CEA Invite league.

Huge shoutout to CJoMo, TangoMangoDown and TheHomieMiggs for coming up big in chat this week! TangoMangoDown provided some stellar information that allowed us to go deep into CR6 as a league. Miggs and CJoMo provided some great color commentary :D.

Check Your 6 - Fall Season Week 1 w/ Tanner Stark

We have a message from @LuchoUlven, captain of the R6 squad at Colorado University at Boulder talking about his team's first match up against Arizona State University in the Fall CEA Invite League! We also have Tanner Stark (@SportTrik), the captain and IGL for ASU's R6 squad as a guest on the show to talk about how the match went from his perspective.

We get into Tanner's long and incredible story of being in esports as former CEO of Distrupt Gaming, what got him into R6 and got him into competing in collegiate.

I'm still getting used to stats coming out so not many scores to discuss this time around but look forward to more next week!

The impact of Covid is reaching the CEA, CR6 and CRSL leagues; teams dropping out of leagues, match deadlines changing, roster accommodations and additional communications. There's a lot to unpack, but for the most part it seems relatively quiet. How much longer that lasts, is a good question.

Aside from my own technical difficulties (you'll hear me drop out occassionally), a storm messed with Syntaxx's ability to join me this week. We'll discuss Pro League Season XI part 2, week 1 and week 2 on the next episode.

CR6

Phase 1 is over and we're into Phase 2 of seeded play!
The big teams you'd expect 2-0'd their lower ranked opponents heavily this week. Week 2 should provide some closer contests.

Arizona State and Akron are heavy hitters in the Invite League we may get the pleasure to watch multiple times this season
Galahad division: Standings didn't change this week but I think there'll be a clear division from between the top two and the bottom two teams.
Lancelot division is led by Pennsylvania University and it is pretty close with all of the teams.
RIT Orange is dominating the Percival division as the only 2-0 team in the entire invite league and it puts them well out of reach for the next week, unless the y lose.
Mordred division is pretty close competition, but I can't tell if they're the tired division or the one I'll pay for for sleeping on.

It is down to the wire! After a short recap of a few matches from week 8, we jump right into playoffs-research mode!

The majority of first place teams know whether or not they're going to Nationals, while our 5th place teams are on pins and needles waiting to figure out who will take the wild card slots in each division.

Only three undefeated teams left: Ohio State, Central Florida and Iowa State.

Week 7 Recap:

British Columbia marches through Washington State Oklahoma State and Maryville tied UNC-Charlotte heavily fortifies third place in their group with a win over NJIT Utah and Illinois State also tied putting their chances of making an appearance in the post-season very much in question

Games to Watch in Week 8:

UC-Davis vs. Northern Arizona in the race for 2nd place in Lion Group 1 Angelo State and Ferris State are top tier teams and could provide one of the highest level R6 matches of the week Colorado Mines vs Michigan State couldn't have a closer match in the league at this time and in the middle of the pack in Falcon Group 2

Three groups have their top 5 set, but the order of their five is yet to be determined: Eagle Group 2, Falcon Group 2 and Viper Group 1

After four weeks of competition we're getting to the thick of the season. Most teams have a chance to strike high in the playoff seeding and there are only a few teams struggling to stay relevant.

I discuss the outcomes from the matches I called out last week, update our now devastated list of undefeated teams, briefly talk about national matches and roll right into talking about some interesting matches coming up in Week 5
