Ubisoft announce Italy and the USA as next BLAST R6 Major locations

Ubisoft have announced Italy and the USA as the next two BLAST R6 Major locations. The cities that will host each event haven't been unveiled yet.

Both countries have already hosted professional esports events in Rainbow Six Siege. The last and so far only time that Italy hosted an international esports event was at the PL Season 9 Finals, which were won by Team Empire after a thrilling grand final game against Evil Geniuses.

Logically, the United States of America has already hosted a lot of international Rainbow Six Siege events. In the last three years, the country has hosted the BLAST R6 Major Atlanta, the BLAST R6 Major Salt Lake City, and the Six Invitational 2027. It's also worth noting that the Rainbow Six Siege X Showcase was celebrated in Atlanta too. Other top flight esports events celebrated on American soil are the Six Charlotte Major and the Six Raleigh Major.

Given that two BLAST R6 Majors have been announced, we're assuming that there should be a Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2027. However, Ubisoft's FPS hasn't been officially confirmed yet.
