This is the second time BLAST has produced a Rainbow Six Major, following its multi-year deal <\/a>with the tournament organiser in 2022. The first event of 2023 was the BLAST Copenhagen Major. Interestingly, this will also be the first major Rainbow Six esports event to take place in the state of Georgia.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe Rainbow Six Majors are events that commemorate the end of a segment of the Rainbow Six competitive season. There are usually two Majors in a year, and one Six Invitational, the largest Rainbow Six tournament of the year. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe upcoming Atlanta Major, taking place at the Gas South Arena, will see high-tier Rainbow Six competition return to USA, after the last Major was held there in May 2022.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\n \nBLAST has been increasing its presence in Rainbow Six by producing not only the Copenhagen Major, but also a number of smaller tournaments called BLAST Community Cups. According to esports data website Esports Charts, the first BLAST Major saw around 118,000 viewers<\/a> at peak, making it the seventh most-watched Major in the game’s history. <\/a><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nTickets for the Major are already on sale, and viewers will be able to select from a number of different packages. BLAST will announce further details about the event as it draws closer. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
