Rocket League Championship Series 11 (RLCS 11) has finally been revealed and Psyonix is showing off a selection of new regions, a huge new prize pool, a return to LAN competitions and more. Here’s everything you need to know about the RLCS 11 announcement and Championship Series.

RLCS X ended a few months ago, marking the conclusion of one of the most difficult and varied – Season s in RLCS history. The Rocket League Championship Series, like all Esports formats, struggled with the challenges surrounding COVID-19. Of course, everything in Rocket League was switched to online as well. The matches were awesome and our teams delivered again. But if a LAN event really awaits us in RLCS 11, we’ll hardly be able to keep our feet still.

With the next – Season , everything will be turned upside down. RLCS 11 brings with it a completely new format. Not only is the prize pool a lot higher, but so is the number of teams participating. The event has caused a bit of confusion. The showmanship and jokes have somewhat overshadowed the important information. That’s why we have summarized everything about RLCS 11 for you in this article.

All RLCS 11 details

Which new regions are participating?

• Asia-Pacific (APAC) North
• Asia-Pacific (APAC) South
• Middle East & North Africa (MENA)

After ten – Season s of the Rocket League Championship Series, the regions of the Middle East and Asia finally get their own leagues and can compete in RLCS 11. Perhaps the countries south of the Sahara will also be added in RLCS 12? That would be a real world championship!

The RLCS 11 format

The RLCS 11 will be split into a fall, winter and spring split. In summer the championship will take place. Each regional league will start with an Open Qualifier via smash.gg. Full details on how to participate are available on the official RLCS website.

• Each split has three regional events and will end with a major.
• Each region and major in each split will be played by 16 teams.
• Each split has a different format
• Teams earn points at each event, with majors weighted more heavily than regional events
• Points from Regional Events and Majors will be used to qualify for the Rocket League World Championship.
• Teams are allowed to make a total of two squad changes during the – Season , up to a maximum of one per trade window, without losing their points.

Remember that the registration period starts soon. So if you think you have what it takes, you should find a team and sign up! Oh, and RLCS: The Grid will no longer be available with RLCS 11. But instead, there will be broadcasts from the major regions of EU and NA.

How does the RLCS 11 Wildcard & Main Event work?

The RLCS 11 World Championship will be held in two parts: the Wildcard Event and the Main Tournament. The Wildcard Event consists of a Swiss Round, through which 8 of the 16 teams will book their tickets to the Main Event. The Main Tournament will then determine the RLCS 11 World Champion:

• Eight teams will automatically qualify for the main tournament
• The Main Tournament will consist of four groups with double elimination, ending with a single elimination round.
• 16 teams qualify for the World Championship Wildcard
  • North America: Three places
  • Europe: Three places
  • Middle East and North Africa: Two places
  • Oceania (OCE): Two places
  • South America: Two places
  • Sub-Saharan Africa: Two places
  • Northern Asia-Pacific: One place
  • Asia-Pacific South: One place
• The top eight teams in the World Championship Wildcard qualify for the World Championship Main Event.

When are the RLCS 11 Wildcard and Main Events?

The RLCS 11 Wildcard will be held July 22-24, 2022, and the Main Tournament will be held July 26-31. Read that right. That means we have almost a full year of pure RLCS action! And even better – Qualifiers are starting soon!

When will the first RLCS lan event take place?

The first Lan event will be the Major in Stockholm in the fall. However, we have to dampen your anticipation a bit. Only the players will be able to be there, because COVID is still throwing a wrench in our plans. But Psyonix have announced that this can change of course, if the situation allows it.

Rocket League Explained – Car-football for Dummies

Soccer meets racing. In Rocket League, you go hunting for goals with Turbo. What sounds simple can quickly become complex due to the variety of techniques to control the ball. Here’s your beginner’s guide to getting started as a Rocket League pro, including all the terminology you need to know.

Rocket League is a video game published by Psyonix and belongs to the genre (game category) “sports simulation”. These are games where players can virtually practice a sport. In the case of Rocket League, this is a combination of soccer and racing, played on a futuristic soccer field.

Players compete alone or with up to 3 other players in a team, with the goal of scoring as many goals as possible. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the time. A round lasts about 5 minutes, but is extended with a golden goal in case of a draw. Unlike in conventional soccer, the players do not control people here, but special cars that drive across the pitch.

Rocket League offers a variety of game modes. From classic car-football to fun game modes with mutators. These are selected before the start of each game. In eSports, only the classic mode without mutators is used.

The Rocket League ABC

In Rocket League, the goal is to master the car, learn special moves, and still keep track of the field. When pros throw around terms like 50/50 or double tab, it’s easy to lose track as a newbie. So that you can shine with your knowledge both in the game and in the stream, we have summarized the most important terms of the Rocket League universe for you here.

50/50 – When two or more players touch the ball at the same time, a kind of press ball is created. The direction in which the ball ultimately flies is random and resembles a 50/50 chance.

Aerial – Unlike classic soccer, Rocket League is not only played on the ground, due to their boost, players can also move in the air for a short time, dribble the ball there or start a shot attempt. As soon as a player leaves the ground he makes aerial actions.

Ballchasing – If a player is chasing the ball all the time and neglects his position, this is called ballchasing.

Boost – To bring the car faster to a higher speed there is boost. The players also use this to fly and steer with the cars.

Demolition – The possibility of demolition shows that Rocket League does not always have to be harmless. Here you drive at high speed through the car of another player and destroy the vehicle. The player is taken out of the game for a short time until respawn and the own team has a higher chance to score a goal.

Double Touch – Double Touch is a term often heard in professional Rocket League streams. This refers to a player scoring a goal by first shooting the ball at the wall next to, or above the opponent’s goal and then sending the rebound towards the goal.

Flick – Controlling the ball is the name of the game in Rocket League. Flicks are shots where the player touches the ball through the dodge mechanic while jumping and shoots with it.

Flip Reset- In Rocket League, each car has a double jump, after which the car must touch the ground with its 4 tires to be able to jump again. Due to the game mechanics, it is also possible to perform this on the ball – the so-called flip reset.

ReDirect – if e.g. player A shoots towards player B and the latter then deflects the direction of the ball e.g. towards the goal, this is called a ReDirect.

Wave Dash – One of the most important techniques in Rocket League is the Wave Dash. By a well-timed flip shortly before you touch the ground, you get a speed boost without performing the flip completely. The technique is mainly used when jumping down walls.
