Calendario de jogos Rocket League

Rocket League is a unique but highly popular esports discipline. Developed by Psyonix in 2015, the game gathered a fan base quickly and became one of the leading titles in competitive gaming.

The game audience is excited by Rocket League matches, which is pretty logical. The degree of dynamics and action on the screen is beyond limits, which stimulated spending time in this title and focusing on winning.

We are talking about Rocket League: how the game feels itself in esports, what types of Rocket League matches exist, where to watch broadcasts of championships, and what events are there.

How Rocket League works

In the beginning, we were talking about Rocket League as a unique esports discipline. We do not refuse our words.

The authenticity of Rocket League lies in its specific genre. By definition, this is an arcade racing game but it has only cars and high speed from a racing game.

The more correct tag for Rocket League will be a MOBA game, just in pretty unusual packaging: without unique heroes (but it has cars with unique characteristics), artifacts, and a few lanes. In Rocket League, teams of players (usually 3 vs 3) have to compete in a closed space till a particular event finishes a match.

Rocket League as an esports discipline

Esports entered Rocket League almost right after the release of the game. The game initially provided players with a unique gaming experience, combining the aspects of a racing game (the far-fetched ones) and a MOBA game.

Not surprisingly, the discipline attracts players from all over the world. The first tournaments looked pretty faded and were presented in the form of school leagues and local events.

The countdown of Rocket League transferring to esports has started since October 2015. The first official tournament called Major League Gaming Pro League – Season 1 was hosted back then. It offered participants a prize pool of $2,500 and boosted the whole scene.

With time, the esports component of Rocket League included dozens of tournaments of various scales. There are D-tier, C-tier, A and B-level tournaments, large S-tier championships, and the main events of the competitive Rocket League – Majors and World Championships.

The main mechanism of the competitive Rocket League environment is RLCS.

Matches RLCS is the main part of Rocket League

With the rapid development of the esports scene, the central league has emerged in Rocket League. It was called the Rocket League Championship Series and absorbed all the features of other leagues.

The format of the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) includes the competitive season divided into three parts (the autumn split, the winter split, and the spring split). Each split has its unique Rocket League match system.

• The autumn split: The Swiss bracket — eight teams in the playoffs, Single Elimination
• The winter split: The Group stage with a Round Robin system (four participants in each group) — twelve teams in the playoffs, Single Elimination.
• The spring split: Double Elimination bracket

Such a diversity of events attracts players from different regions. Teams from all over the world play in RLCS, although the initial tournament series was hosted in Europe and North America, it grew pretty quickly to the international size: Europe, North America, Oceania, South America, Middle East and North Africa, Pacific North, Pacific South, and tropical Africa.

The final championships in RLCS are Majors hosted by the end of each split, and the World Championships. Millions of dollars are up for grabs at the last ones, which is an additional motivation for clubs.

Where to watch Rocket League matches
