I like my skins as much as the next guy but there's something very off-putting about opening up the new game that everyone's excited about and immediately gambling instead of playing it

An Actual Take: If you're playing Rainbow Six Siege in 2022, you aren't a "casual" player. It's been out for seven years. If you stick with a game for anywhere near that amount of time you aren't "casual", you just aren't competitive. Not everything is a binary.

Three and a half years ago, Kyno was learning English. One year ago, he was playing ranked. This year, he's been a key cog in Oxygen's rise to a No. 1 place finish in NAL, and a fifth-sixth placement in SI. On the potential NAL rookie of the year:

A "casual" player is someone who downloaded R6 off GamePass and played it for thirty or so hours. If you've sunk hundreds of hours into a game, but you haven't touched ranked, guess what: that's no longer "casual" play!
