LONDON, UK – 9TH NOVEMBER, 2021 – Today, Ubisoft UK announced the next season of the UK Ireland Nationals (UKIN) Division Two, coming in January 2022. The UKIN Second Division was created to help nurture up and coming UK & Irish teams as they aim for the UKIN Premier League and beyond. Ubisoft UK is continuing this commitment into 2022 as Rainbow Six Siege adapts to better support teams in the future. With this Ubisoft UK hopes to create an eco-system that players of all skills can use to reach their full potential and create an easy defined path for Rainbow Six Esports in the UK and Ireland.
