Gamers for Life Charity Tournament: Everything you need to know

DarkZero Esports' coach Seth "Callout" Mik announced the creation of a charity tournament called Gamers for Life. The tournament's goal is to visibilize what's happening in the Russian and Ukranian war as well as gathering economical funds for charity purposes in the region, more specifically "supporting civilian evacuations in Ukraine."

The funds raised will be given to the Charity Fund "Haystov," defined as a " dedicated Ukrainian civilian evacuation organization operating in frontline and near-frontline regions." You can read more about it here.

Gamers for Life will only include professional and Tier 2 players, as well as some of the most highly-recognized voices in Rainbow Six Siege's esports community. Keep on reading to find out more about the competition!
