An international caliber tournament for a game designed in our beloved city with Ubisoft Montreal took place in Montreal last weekend (February 3-5).

I must admit that I didn’t have many expectations for the event for multiple reasons: I learned that the event was taking place only a few weeks before it (this is a problem for me who keeps up with everything that happens in Quebec), the Rainbow 6 scene is only in its first season and I had never heard of the event location, Usine C.
In the end, the event was a real success! The caliber of the matches was frankly impressive and demonstrated that the scene was balanced because there weren’t many 2-0s on PC. The matches were close and exciting. The choice of venue was excellent. With a maximum capacity of around 500 seats, it was just the right number to fill the place and create a perfect atmosphere. The level of production was also there: there were very few delays, no major technical issues that I know of, no downtime where content wasn’t being presented, the commentators did an outstanding job, etc.
Sérieusement, à toute l’équipe ayant travaillé sur l’événement : GOOD JOB! Probablement l’un des meilleurs ayant eu lieu à Montréal jusqu’à maintenant!
One of the highlight of my weekend was the opportunity to talk with Brian from RallyPointGG I had Saturday. I was looking foward having a conversation with him because I’m a huge fan of his podcast and it’s important to me that influencers like him know about the Quebec Exclusion and what the situation of e-sports here in Montreal. It was really interesting!

The official after-party on Sunday night, which I was lucky enough to organize at Meltdown Montreal, was… damn! If you weren’t there, you missed out!!! Let’s just say I was glad I didn’t have to work the next day. 😉
