(PRWEB) March 21, 2005

Team Compete today announced the attainment of a significant milestone for competitive Xbox Live team play with the attainment of 40,000 match completions in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. “We have actually seen GROWTH in this game at a time when other games in the market for a similar time have started to decline”, said theVeeg, founder of Teamcompete. “This community loves the Rainbow Six games and the follow up sequel Black Arrow. In the original Rainbow Six game today we still have over 15,000 teams having issued over 101,000 challenges since the game has launched. No other game has had that sort of growth or longevity in the two years we have been conducting Xbox Live competitive play”

With the pending release of the next sequel to the game Rainbow Six: Lockdown just around the corner, it will be curious to see if the old standby and original gamers finally give up their passion for the original in favor of the new or continue to play their favorite Rainbow Six—original version. “We anticipate that the community will continue with the original game as they did when Black Arrow came out. But we are preparing to support all three with leagues in our open league and our professional league as well”, according to theVeeg. “Our community loves the Ubisoft Tom Clancy series of games and eagerly anticipates each new game in the series. We have a very positive expectation for the Lockdown game and expect it to be equally as popular with both the Rainbow Six and Black Arrow gamers. Over 500 teams have been formed already in anticipation of the release of the game. I think that shows the overwhelming demand in the community and the prognosis for a huge first season looks good.”

Teamcompete will offer leagues in the (free) Open League as well as dedicated leagues in the (fee) Professional League for all 3 Rainbow Six games. Tournaments and other special events are planned throughout 2005 for all Rainbow Six games and will be announced individually on the Teamcompete.com web site.
