Rainbow Six Siege Player BC Exits Retirement For DarkZero Esports

Movies

Brandon “BC” Carr, a professional Rainbow Six Siege player and coach, is coming out of retirement to join the DarkZero esports organization. Carr began playing Rainbow Six Siege competitively back in 2016, but he retired from playing the game in 2019 to begin coaching others. DarkZero, who Carr has worked with as a coach but never a player, was formed in November 2018 as an esports organization focused entirely on Siege.

Esports has grown in popularity in recent years, with the industry becoming a legitimate source of income for many of its most popular players. Nintendo recently announced the formation of a high school-level esports organization, bringing competitive titles Splatoon 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to schools. The partnership between Nintendo and PlayVS, a scholastic esports company, will introduce the two games as a varsity athletic program. Both games will begin their inaugural season in September 2021. Sony also recently patented an esports betting system, which is presumably meant to bring real-world betting to the PlayStation line of consoles. This would allow players to bet real-world money on professional esports players or teams.

A Twitter post from DarkZero Esports recently revealed that Brandon “BC” Carr will be returning as a member of the company’s player roster. BC will be returning to Rainbow Six Siege after a nearly two-year retirement, though that time has been spent coaching other players in the same game. The news comes after the recent announcements that Kyle Lander and Alex Magor, two players in DarkZero’s five-player roster, would be leaving the organization. It is likely that Carr’s return to play is intended to fill one of the two gaps left by those players.

While esports has become a big part of the video game industry, competition can sometimes be destructive. The United States Navy’s female Call of Duty Warzone esports team, Women of Warzone, was also spammed by viewers during a stream in March. The harassment, reportedly in protest of the United States military’s actions in the Middle East, involved the repeated use of bombs and fire emojis.

Esports has become a staple of many multiplayer games, particularly shooters such as Rainbow Six Siege. The 2015 title has been given an extended lifespan by the esports community, and Brandon Carr is a staple member of that community. While the departure of Kyle Lander and Alex Magor may be bitter, the return of Carr to the competitive esports scene is certainly sweet.
