Esports event organiser Raidiant has announced Rally Point, a new women’s tournament and community operation for Rainbow Six Siege.
The event, which will run from September 19th to December 12th, plans to offer various competitive opportunities as well as a $10,000 (~£7,500) total prize pool.
Raidiant is an event organiser founded in 2021 by retired Counter-Strike athlete Heather ‘sappiRe’ Garozzo. The company is dedicated to amplifying women in esports and gaming by creating competitive opportunities, elevating talent and ‘cultivating inclusive spaces where women in gaming can thrive’.
Through partnerships with game publishers and key stakeholders, Raidiant has delivered women’s tournaments for Overwatch, Rocket League and VALORANT.
Last month, the organiser also announced a new Fortnite initiative, called the Raidiant Invitational.
“I’m incredibly proud that Raidiant has been selected to help bring Rally Point to life,” shared sapphiRe in a press release.
“As a veteran competitive gamer and former World Champion, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful representation can be. Rally Point isn’t just a competition – it’s a celebration of skill, growth and an inclusive community. We’re honoured to empower incredible talent and create a space where women and their allies can truly thrive.”
