The competitive landscape of Rainbow Six Siege is experiencing turbulence as Ubisoft has placed the operator Aruni under a ‘temporary competitive quarantine’ during the prestigious BLAST R6 Munich Major. This unexpected move is raising eyebrows and stirring discussions across the gaming community.
Ubisoft announced the temporary ban of Aruni to ensure the balance of the BLAST R6 Munich Major tournament.
Community Response to the Ban
The decision has sparked a wave of criticism from fans and players. Many athletes argue against implementing such a significant change midway through the competitive journey. Jack ‘Doki’ Robertson from G2 Esports expressed his disapproval, highlighting that teams are already qualified, and such a ban should only be applied during the Playoffs for fairness. As the tournament progresses through its Swiss Stage, the ban’s impact on team strategies and outcomes remains a hot topic.
