GRID and Ubisoft Launch the First-ever Rainbow 6 Siege Data Portal
GRID, the in-game data platform working with game publishers and developers, and Ubisoft, global games publisher behind Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, have announced the release of the Rainbow Six Siege Data Portal (R6DP), the first-ever data portal for R6 Esports professional teams. The portal will be available for professional teams in the BLAST R6 esports ecosystem, free of charge, in the coming weeks.
Last year, the two companies signed a multi-year deal, making GRID the first and exclusive Esports Data Platform for Rainbow Six Esports. This agreement enabled the ecosystem’s inaugural access to official data assets for commercial partners at the 2023 BLAST R6 Atlanta Major.
The R6DP provides esports teams with a new automated platform allowing them to access data events from official esports matches. R6DP features include: an analytics console, downloadable data files in GRID Format, documentation, tutorials and provides full user support.
The R6DP allows teams to easily search, query, filter or download data from matches to enable data-driven talent evaluation, strategy analysis and more. The system is easy-to-use, enables fully-automated ingestion and allows private data access through a secure application-based user interface.
Moritz Mauer, Founder & CEO of GRID, said: “Rainbow Six Siege is such a highly tactical game where in-game data access is critical for teams to employ the best strategies. We’re proud to be partnered with Ubisoft on their journey to create incredible esports experiences and provide technology to enhance the competition through access to the official match data for their professional teams.”
David Parent, Senior Manager, Global Esports Business Development at Ubisoft, said: “Providing our professional teams with access to accurate, reliable data is a key step towards building a data-driven ecosystem for R6 Esports. We’re thrilled to partner with GRID on the establishment of official BLAST R6 data assets and we can’t wait to see our professional teams use the R6 Siege Data Portal to elevate their play.”
The announcement comes on the back of the record-breaking success of the Six Invitational in Sâo Paulo last month. The teams will get access to R6DP during the Stage 1 of the R6 2024 Season, leading into the upcoming R6 Manchester Major, May 16-26.
