If you know anything about me, you’ve noticed I like Rocket League. I loved it back when I reviewed it and do most of the news about the game. The game has only been improving with more and varied content made with consistent quality. So believe me when I say that I’m pretty excited to watch the highest ranking players face off in an official championship. Twitch will be hosting the championship, and while there’s no date to speak of yet, Jeremy Dunham, Vice President of Psyonix wanted to give thanks to all the fans that made this possible.

“From the moment we hit the pitch last July, we knew that Rocket League was a legitimate esport, Twitch and its streamers have been an instrumental part of our success since we launched last July and that made them a perfect match for us. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with a team that we respect as highly as we do Twitch, and we can’t wait to show the world what we can do in esports together!”

Now at this point you may be thinking “Wow, sign me up! I’m the next Kronovi!”. Well, starting this March, you’ll be allowed to sign up for the championship (as teams of three) and have a chance at taking the first ever Championship Title. We’ll have three months of open qualifying for any team who wants to join. At the end of it all, the winners will receive $75,000 USD. Nothing to scoff at.

Now I’m all for this big announcement, but there’s a subtle teaser I want to highlight in the footnotes of our press release below, it reads as follows “All matches will be played on the PS4 and PC with additional platform support to be revealed in the future.” So yeah, that sounds pretty good, they’re being inclusive, not locking the entire championship to one system. But it also says that there are more systems to be supported. It can mean two things as far as I can tell, either Xbox will be included into the current server pool consisting of PC and PS4, further improving cross-play since it’s currently locked to Xbox only servers. Or we’ll be seeing Rocket League on yet more systems. Or maybe we’ll be seeing both. Only time will tell, and on that point all I have to say is “The more, the merrier”.
