In an interview with Ubisoft News, Medvedev said that he got into playing Rainbow Six Siege from 2016 as all of his friends were playing the game, which attracted him to the game, and fell in love with it.

“I’ve been playing ‘Rainbow Six Siege’ for the last eight years,” says Medvedev. “I’m drawn to the tactical nature of Siege. As a competitive person, I appreciate the depth of strategy and team-based gameplay and love to play whenever I’m not playing tennis.“
In an interview, Medvedev said, “I’m quite good in FIFA, so when you have a different level in the game, it’s not funny,” Medvedev recalled in Cincinnati last year. “NHL we never played in our life. So, we started playing. I beat him silly because I’m good at games. And then he was practicing all the week, and after I lost to Roger, [I was] 2-0 down [against my coach], and I won in overtime.”
Ubisoft is very excited about this collaboration. Medvedev’s creativity and strategically minded play in tennis makes him a perfect ambassador for the game. This also in turn represents what makes Siege different from other games out there.
