9 Ways to Enhance Your SI Viewing Experience

For all of those that are new to viewing Rainbow Six Siege Pro level play, I have decided to create a list of 9 quick tips to better your viewing experience for the Rainbow Six Siege Invitational event. These can be applied at home or at the event its self.

1. Expose yourself to more Pro League Play

Firstly, before the event take some time to tune in to Twitch or Youtube throughout the week to watch some Pro League Playdays and become more familiar as a spectator. Get to know the teams, players, commentators, and map pool to enhance the experience.

2. Familiarize Yourself with the Pro League Rules

This one is geared more toward the hardcore community and N3rds like me. Head over here and skim through the ESL Pro League Rule Book to become more familiar with what the players can and can not do. Heres a short list of some of the more informative rules.

4.12 Tactical Timeout

Each team may call up to 1 tactical timeout per map:
● The coach or team captain must signal to the admin
● A timeout lasts 1 minute
● A match is paused during operator select
● Coaches may talk to the team during the timeout
● Timeouts cannot be called by both teams on the same round
● Timeouts need to be called during the kill-cam
● Players cannot take their headsets off or leave their seats

5.4.3 Spawn Killing

The spawn killing which results in a kill of an attacker during the first 2 seconds of action phase is
not allowed. Doing so will result in a round loss for the defending team.

5.5. Rehost requests

Rehost rules are specified below, including the conditions in which they will be allowed:
● Any issue before the preparation phase starts (game, software or hardware related)
● Player can’t move (unless it’s done on purpose) – rehost in the first 30 seconds of the
action phase, if no players have taken damage
● Game mechanic not working as intended (shooting, reloading, moving, gadgets,
equipment, etc.) – rehost up to the first 30 seconds of the action phase, no damage
taken by anyone
● Disconnect/hardware problem/software problem – rehost in the first 15 seconds of the
preparation phase. On offline events, this timing is for the full duration of the preparation
phase.
● Observer issue – rehost up to the first 30 seconds of the action phase, no damage taken
by anyone

6.20.2 Removing headsets

If a participant removes his headset without admin approval during a map, he will receive an
official warning.
If it happens again in the same offline event, the team will lose the round and 5 minor penalty
points will be awarded.

3. Pay Attention to the Operator Pick and Bans

Also, pay attention during the BAN phase, the choice of banned operators by each team will play a significant role in how the match is played out.

4. Actively Listen to the Commentators

The commentators play a considerable role in the viewing experience. Without a doubt, most of them have been involved in the professional scene since the beginning. They have extensive knowledge of the game, teams, and individual players. Their insight into how each round is played out and the thought process of individual player(s) dramatically enhances the viewing experience.

5. Keep your Bearings

Rainbow Six Siege Invitational

For me, one of the most significant aspects of spectating a PL R6 event was becoming familiar to the camera work. Actively paying attention to where an operator is on the map is paramount to understanding what is happening. Be aware of what floor they are on, what site they are defending, what weapons they have (SMG, Assult Rifle, ShotGun, etc.)

6. Make sure you know Whos Who

This one seems pretty straight forward but remembering what silhouette color represents what team will eliminate some confusion when the action starts to pick up.

7. Be Aware of the Attack/Defense Strats

Watching Pro League play can significantly enhance your level of play. Paying attention to the strategies employed by the pros in one of the most eye-opening and educational experiences for the game.

8. Watch the kill feed

Not all of the action will always be caught via the camera operator. Paying attention to the kill-feed is vital to see what is going on off-screen.

9. Enjoy the ride

Finally, If you are at LAN or from home, sit back and enjoy the ride. These are the best teams from across the globe competing for the title and a$3,000,000 prize pool. Expect insane plays, new strats, and wild emotions.
