Ubisoft announced today that the 2022 R6 November Major will be held in Sweden again, instead of Asia as previously announced. This is the third event in Sweden in a year, after the Sweden Major in November 2021 and the Six Invitational in February 2022.
While the group stage will be held independently in Stockholm, where SI 2022 was moved to, the finals will be held at DreamHack Winter in Jönköping, at the Elmia Congress Center. However, the Jönköping Major will have its own stage and activities, but will also offer access to other DreamHack Winter events.
The group stage of the November Major will be held from November 21 to 23 and will not be open to the public, while the playoffs will be during the DreamHack Winter dates of November 25 to 27. This after the postponement and extension of the Transfer Window in November, from between November 21 and December 4, 2022 to between December 10, 2022 and January 5, 2023.
Ubisoft had previously announced the location of the November Major as “Asia” under Year 7 Roadmap Disclosure at the Six Invitational 2022. The 2021 November Major was also originally planned to be held in APAC, but was also moved to Sweden due to travel restrictions and local regulations in the APAC region.
Ubisoft didn’t give details about the reason for the move this time, except that they “had to adapt [their] planning and changing places”.
Tickets to the playoffs of the Jönköping Major is already on the DreamHack Winter website.
A special Hibana Bundle is also available for purchase in the in-game store, with 20% of proceeds from sales directly contributing to the Major’s prize pool.
