The Finnish esports organisation ENCE stated that the decision was made due to the "financial infeasibility" of fielding a roster in Ubisoft’s tactical shooter title. As a result, the Malta Cyber Series will be the last event for ENCE’s current roster of players before they seek opportunities with other organisations.

The event will take place from March 14th to 16th, 2025, featuring six teams competing for a $20,000 prize pool.

This decision comes 12 months after ENCE returned to the esport following a five-year absence. The organisation has confirmed that its players are free to explore new opportunities.

“We have failed to commercialise our R6 operations with limited skin sales and partnership opportunities,” revealed Mika Kuusisto, CEO of ENCE.

“It has become clear that we would need to be an R6 Share partner team in order to continue investing in the R6 scene and build sustainable operations in the long term.”

In November 2024, Ubisoft revealed a revamped R6 Share programme designed to offer organisations more ways to generate income through the creation and sale of in-game items. A total of 20 teams, including Team Falcons, DarkZero Esports, and Team Secret, are part of the programme. Additionally, the R6 Share affiliate programme supports teams competing in regional competitions across Europe, the Americas, and APAC.

“Things don’t always go as you plan, and sadly, we can’t continue in R6 even if I would personally want to,” added Niklas ‘Willkey’ Ojalainen, General Manager of ENCE.

“I want to give a special thank you to the ENCE R6 team manager, Olivier, for taking good care of the boys and helping with the language barrier. Best of luck to you all for your future ventures.”

The organisation’s departure from Rainbow Six Siege comes just a few months after announcing its return to the game after years of absence. This sequence of decisions has left some R6 fans surprised, as it was only three months ago that ENCE revealed their new roster for Rainbow Six Siege.
