Psyonix[jwplayer 0aZyYkP6]Rocket League esports’ Season X is well and truly getting underway this weekend as the best teams in Europe look to start earning RLCS Circuit Rainking Points to qualify for the World Championship — not to mention the $100,000 prize pool.
With the entire world seemingly on hold thanks to the ongoing health crisis, esports has had to change its tact too, but now things are starting to get back on track and Rocket League players are getting to work on qualifying for the World Championship.
So, let’s take a look at the first regional event for RLCS Season X — here’s everything you need to know.
Who’s playing, and what’s the format?
PsyonixAs mentioned, the first EU Regional event brings together 32 of Europe’s best Rocket League teams, including the likes of FC Barcelona, Dignitas, Team Liquid and the new team invested in by David Beckham, Guild Esports.
The tournament is played in Swiss Format, meaning teams play other teams that have the same record. For example, if Guild win their first match, they’ll play another 1-0 team in the second round on August 2.
16 teams will be eliminated on August 2, while another 16 will make the next stage of the Swiss bracket on August 8, with the best eight teams there making it to playoffs on August 9, where they’ll be fighting for the big bucks.
How to watch
The tournament will be available to watch through various streams, including Rocket League’s Twitch and YouTube channels, ELEAGUE’s Twitch channel and, for French viewers, Rocket Baguette on Twitch.
