[2020] Will R6S ever land on Proton by Valve?

It's sound litle-bit stupid, but this is a best solution, and that's why:

1. You dont need to rewrite engine files (maybe), only one thing devs need to do is disable battleye on linux, and match linux players together
2. R6 is launching on linux already, but you cant play any game because of battleye, so again you dont need to rewrite more code

Please, give me any chance to play rainbox six siege on linux Thanks!

If I am correct they implemented Vulkan a couple of months ago so if the engine has the ability to build the game for Linux you only would have to add it to the workflow (i don't know if the engine is built in C++ but if it is it should be doable). OR! you wait for the battle eye proton implementation.

Quick Solution :
I don't know how battle-eye works but maybe you could turn off some properties in the config (like I said I don't know if this is something battle eye has) so people can play r6 on VM's again via PCI passthrough. I'm just assuming but that would be one of the quick fixes ( if even possible )
