The Rainbow Six Siege North American November “Mini-Major” stream was temporarily postponed today due to the developing situation at Ubisoft Montreal.
Ubisoft is working with local law enforcement, according to a message on the Rainbow Six Twitch channel.
When the stream went down, Spacestation Gaming was leading DarkZero Esports in the second map of the series. DarkZero won the first map, 8-6.
The stream has gone back up now, though, since the situation has reportedly been resolved.
Quebec news network TVA Nouvelles reported earlier today that there was a possible hostage situation at the Ubisoft Montreal offices. Montreal police didn’t confirm that, however. They’re now evacuating the building and said “no threat has been identified for now.”
Update Nov. 13 3:25pm CT: The stream is back up after new information came to light. Off-stream, Spacestation secured the second map and the series has moved to a third map. Oxygen and TSM will play after.
