Fans who tuned into Rainbow Six Siege’ Pro League finals were greeted with a hilariously bizarre celebration as the location for the next premier event on the calendar was finally revealed.
At plenty of esports events, developers and tournament organizers are usually handed the opportunity to announce some upcoming game updates and locations of new events to get fans excited about the future of the scene.
That was no different during the Season 9 Pro League finals in Milan, as it was revealed that the tenth installment of the Rainbow Six finals event would be heading to Japan – prompting wild celebrations from fans.
However, none of them matched the excitement of Yasuhiro ‘kizoku’ Nishi, who took on the mantle of welcoming the Siege world to his home country in an incredibly unique, yet strange, manner.
“I’m so happy,” screamed the PET Nora-Rengo coach and owner, explaining his delight at having a major event taking place in Japan. “Japanese Siege community is very, very big,” he added. Yet, things started to take an even stranger twist as kizoku carried on by mocking himself. “And, my stomach is big too!”
However, the increasingly bizarre interview didn’t stop just there. Kizoku immediately broke into a rap, prompting the interviewer to give him the floor as he celebrated “sushi” with some quick bars and a few taps of his stomach, too, for good measure.
