The Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) is an annual (previously semiannual) Rocket Leagueesports tournament series produced by Psyonix, the game's developer. It consists of qualification rounds in North America, South America, Europe, and Oceania, and culminates in a playoff bracket with teams from those regions. The qualification rounds are played as an online round-robin tournament and the finals are played live in different cities. The Season 9 championship in 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with other online events being held in place of it.

History[edit]

Psyonix had observed the popularity of Rocket League matches on Twitch and other live streaming platforms by early 2016 and were looking to use the game more in esports.[1] In March 2016, Psyonix announced the first Rocket League Championship Series; the finals took place in June 2016 with a US$55,000 prize pool.[2][3] The second season of the championship series took place in December 2016 with a $125,000 prize pool.[4] A third series began in March 2017, with the $300,000 prize pool finals taking place three months later. In this season, two teams from the oceanic region were also invited to compete.[5]

A second division, the Rocket League Rival Series (RLRS), was added in Season 4. The two teams finishing at the bottom of the RLCS and the two teams finishing at the top of the RLRS for each region play each other in a promotion tournament at the end of the season to determine if teams are promoted or relegated. At the advent of Season 5 in June 2018, Psyonix organised and managed the event alone. Previous to this, they partnered with Twitch. Season 6 started in September 2018 and featured a million dollar prize pool.[6] For Season 7, Psyonix introduced South America as a new region.[7] Season 8 took place in December 2019. The Season 9 championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with winners of the regional championships being considered the champions.[8] In July 2020, Psyonix announced a new format for the tenth season of RLCS, known as RLCS X. This format league play in favor of teams earning points through three regional splits, all culminating in three seasonal majors.[9]

Well, here we are: the eve of the Rocket League Championship Series Season 2 Grand Finals. Concluding an enthralling season, the Grand Finals will seek to live up to the hype with the four best teams from each region competing for the $50,000 grand prize.

Will the champion be a European team on home soil in Amsterdam? Will it be a North American team invading Europe? Here's what you might see when the action kicks off Saturday at 7 a.m. ET.

Match 1: NRG versus Precision Z

This first match features North America's No. 1 seed and Europe's No 4. Normally these matches aren't close, but Precision Z has shown the ability to take down anyone and create magical upsets. While Precision Z might not create the magic it has shown in the past, it's expected to keep it close. NRG choked last time, but it surely won't choke in the very first match of the event.

Prediction: NRG 3-2 Precision Z

Match 2: Northern Gaming versus Genesis

North America's third seed will look to keep the train rolling in Amsterdam, but coming up against Northern Gaming is no feeble task. This set should really be a chance for either team to establish itself at the Grand Finals and steady the emotions on LAN. Unfortunately for Genesis, this set shouldn't be too close with Northern Gaming looking like the second-best team in the world.

Prediction: Northern 3-1 Genesis

Match 3: FlipSid3 Tactics versus Take 3

I would love to say Take 3 could win this. I really would. It cannot. FlipSid3 Tactics has looked incredible in recent months and seems to, once again, be the best team in the world. Take 3 simply does not have the individual skill or teamplay to be expected to keep up with FlipSid3. This set should reflect that and FlipSid3 should be able to comfortably advance to the latter rounds and probably the finals. If Take 3 were to pull off this upset, it would be one of the largest in Rocket League history.

Prediction: FlipSid3 3-0 Take 3

Match 4: Mockit Aces vs Orbit

A matchup of two of the best teams in the world in the first round -- what could be better? Orbit comes in as the North American No. 2 seed, but for a majority of the season seemed the best team in the league by a large margin. Mockit Aces, on the other hand, are the stalwart third-best in Europe's Big Three and will be hoping to round off the day with a European three-peat. This should be one of the best matches of the day between two very good teams; in the end Orbit may just edge it over the European giants.

Prediction: Orbit 3-2 Mockit Aces
