BLAST R6 Major Atlanta Partners With Eureka Ergonomic and CTRL

Tournament organizer BLAST announced Friday that it has partnered Eureka Ergonomic and CTRL for the BLAST R6 Atlanta Major 2023, taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, from Oct. 31 – Nov. 12.

Financial terms of these deals were not disclosed.

Gaming chair maker Eureka Ergonomic and food and beverage brand CTRL will have physical and digital branding highlighted during the event, according to a release. In addition, Eureka Ergonomic will provide gaming chairs to Rainbow Six: Siege esports players competing across all stages of the tournament and CTRL will have an activation booth in the arena.

The officially-sanctioned competition for Rainbow Six: Siege will feature 24 of the world’s top teams competing for a lion’s share of the USD $750K USD prize pool, and league points to qualify for the Six Invitational 2024 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 

Ubisoft announced Atlanta as the official location of this Major in June. The finals, taking place Nov. 10 – 12, will be open to the public at the Gas South Arena in Atlanta. BLAST R6 Atlanta follows the same format as BLAST R6 Major Copenhagen 2023, which concluded on May 7, and saw W7M Esports beat out Team Liquid, Soniqs, and FaZe Clan to take first place.
