Hot off their Major win in Manchester, four members from the newly announced "Cloud9 Beastcoast" roster stop by to discuss their origin story, their dominance in Stage 1, and their unlikely run at their first event as a team. Dfuzr shares his thoughts on what it was like to go from rookie to champion; fett lays out why he resigned as coach and what he hopes for the future; gunnar discusses his journey through pro play to finally getting the respect he always deserved; and hotancold gives us insight into his new role as the veteran member of a team.

With the 2021 Six Invitational fast approaching, Six On Six brings you a star-studded episode with outspoken and knowledgeable guests from each of the major regions. Legendary Brazilian caster Meligeni joins returning guests Dizzle, Fabian, and Supr for an insightful 3 hour show that touches on all the teams attending; the format of SI; expectations for each team; and a variety of other topics.

Rainbow 6 Siege has its fair share of personalities but few court controversy the way that Seth "Supr" Hoffman does. Deliberate or not, Supr always finds himself in the middle of conflict - much to the delight of drama fiends within Rainbow 6. Always outspoken, Supr has made a name for himself by taking on rumours, lies, other players, and decisions made in the Rainbow 6 esport scene. His role as a villain has earned him many enemies but that doesn't seem to trouble Supr one bit. We'd always planned on bringing him on the show but couldn't have asked for better timing: just days prior to the filming of this episode, rumours swirled about the Soniqs dropping their entire roster. Well, everyone but Supr. The last man standing on the sQ roster, Supr joins us to discuss the reasoning behind the roster changes alongside a variety of topics ranging from his persona, competitive history, and the sustainability of Rainbow 6 esports.

Justin "Lycan" Woods has seen it all. From the earliest days of R6 action, roster drama, constant issues with tourney organizers, and a successful transition to coach, there hasn't been something Lycan has missed out on. Though he may no longer play, Lycan's history as a player is fascinating and full of interesting stories about many veterans of the North American Rainbow 6 scene. Since his move to coaching in early 2018, Lycan has earned high praise from his teammates and opponents. A calming, sensible, mature presence combined with a sharp understanding of the game make him one of the best in the community at what he does. A recent World Champion, Spacestation prevailed under his leadership at the 2020 Six Invitational to win the event and hoist the coveted hammer. Considered by many to be the Rainbow 6 Dad, Lycan also dives into his personal life and how he feels we, as a scene, can hold ourselves to higher standards. It's always a pleasure to speak with Lycan and this episode was no exception.

If you follow the Rainbow 6 Siege community on twitter then you've probably heard of Jacob "Suzaku" Faberman. While Suzaku may be most well-known for his hilarious twitter content, there's far more to him and the insight he has on every facet of our scene. Candid, outspoken, and always funny, Suzaku's perspective is vastly different than the perspectives of all the guests before him. Whether it be from his close personal friendships with numerous professional players to his brief run in Challenger League on the infamous Adventure Force team, Suzaku spends many hours humorously dissecting our community while giving his thoughts on where we've been and where we're headed.

There's no question that Niclas "Pengu" Mouritzen is Rainbow 6 Siege's biggest star. The 23 year old Dane has by far and away the most impressive résumé of anyone in professional Siege. 4 Pro League Championships; 2 Six Invitational World Championships; 1 Major Championship; half a dozen National titles; 200,000 twitter followers, 600,000 Youtube subscribers; nearly 1 million Twitch followers; his own in-game charm; #1 in money earned/won as a competitor; featured in a handful of documentaries, and so on. The journey to the top wasn't without its fair share of drama, though. Over the years, Pengu has found himself in hot water for comments he has made about other players, teams, and companies. As the game and scene have grown, so too has Pengu and while he is still as brash and outspoken as ever, he has made a dedicated effort to be more of an ambassador for our esport. The longest Six On Six yet, Pengu goes into G2's recent struggles, his thoughts on the utility-dump meta, the drama with Shaiiko, and so much more. 

Rainbow 6 Siege's UK scene has produced many big names over the years yet Matthew "meepeY" Sharples stands out as one of the biggest. Although his entry into competitive gaming was somewhat reluctant, meepeY found early success in the EU community, climbing the ranks and competing on some of Europe's top teams. No stranger to setback and heartbreak, meepeY and his teams have always found a way to bounce back, conquering their next set of challenges with a ferociousness that few other teams could match. Despite having strong performances on LAN, meepeY's luck would run out on the eve of the EU League with Team Secret failing to qualify. Thankfully for meepeY his knowledge of the game and his strong leadership skills allowed him to make a graceful transition to coach. He now sits behind the bench guiding North America's eUnited squad. Always a pleasure to chat with given his insight into our scene, meepeY is undoubtedly one of our finest guests.

There's no question that Ghassan "Milosh" Finge is one of the hardest working broadcasters in Rainbow 6 Esports. Uniquely prepared for Rainbow 6 from his time spent as Battlefield commentator, Milosh's road to R6 caster was long and often fraught with challenges. He persisted, though, and became a full-time member of casting team in early 2018. Since then, Milosh has appeared at every major R6 LAN event, originally as a caster but more recently as a host. Swapping to hosting has allowed Milosh to flourish in his role and become Rainbow 6 Siege's main host for all events. One of the most interesting and insightful characters in R6, Milosh shares many stories with us over the course of 3 hours.

Rafael "Mav" Loureiro is one of Brazil's most legendary players across both Battlefield and Rainbow 6 Siege. Few players have gone pro in multiple FPS titles so Mav is among an elite group. One of Brazil's most respected players, Mav also has the distinction of having spent most of his R6 career with the same team - Fontt/FaZe Clan. Despite his teams always dominating within Brazil, Mav struggled to find success internationally. After a long run of respectable finishes, Mav was removed from the FaZe Clan roster and has joined Team Liquid as a coach/analyst/6th player. While we're sad to see Mav step away from being an active competitor we're excited to see what he does next. LATAM is an amazing region that is often overlooked or ignored by most English-speaking R6 fans. We hope this podcast helps to highlight an incredible region in R6 esports.
