"Adapt or lose. That's the name of the game." Sophomore Carter Ehlers and his teammates on the Rainbow 6 Siege roster have adopted this mantra going into the final weeks of their fall season across NECC, NACE, and MidwestR6 competition. One of the most active rosters in UWRF Esports, the R6 team has battled through several leagues facing some of the top teams in the nation along the way. 

As they head into their regular season finale against Western Michigan University this Thursday at 7PM live on https://www.twitch.tv/midwestr6, the players have a bit of a chip on their shoulders. With playoffs locked, they are looking for revenge in this rematch as they battle for seeding. Student-Athlete and Assistant Coach Jaxon Hafenbreadl, a senior transfer out of UW-Platteville as well as a founder of MidwestR6, is using this as a measuring stick for the team. "I'm excited to have this chance again to see how far they've grown this season against a tough and well-respected opponent, " Jaxon comments as he prepares his map strategies and operator picks for the game.



UWRF R6 will be reliant on its consistent carry Ryan "Weecon" Colegrove to push the team to the finish line. Sporting a 161-78-24 kill-death-assist ratio, Ryan is the star senior on a starting roster that consists of 3 freshmen and 1 sophomore. His stellar performance led to Week 3 MVP honors in MidwestR6, and he has shown no signs of slowing down in the back half of the season.
