Rocket League is a staff favorite. It was one of the first things I wrote about. And, I still frequently write about it. So even though I myself am unable to play it at a high level I am always excited to watch it. And, there are none more exciting to watch then the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS). Typically the RLCS is one of those things that I would only follow when it updated, but was always sure to catch the finals.
those finals are this weekend. Psyonix and Twitch are teaming and ask fans to tune in to Twitch.TV/RocketLeague on Saturday and Sunday, August 6-7 at 10am PDT, LIVE from the Avalon Hollywood for the Rocket League Championship Series Season 1 International Finals.
With a $55,000 prize pool at stake, the eight best Rocket League® teams from Europe and North America will battle it out to prove who’s the best once and for all! The four competing teams from North America are Exodus, Genesis, iBuyPower Cosmic, and Kings of Urban, while Europe is represented by Flipsid3 Tactics, The Flying Dutchmen, Mock-it eSports EU, and Northern Gaming.
Psyonix also has a special announcement coming this weekend. On the agenda it just says, 12 pm – Rocket League special world premiere announcement. Personally im hoping for some new modes, hockey was super fun!
