SAN DIEGO, CA – August 24, 2016 – Independent video game developer and publisher, Psyonix, and Twitch, the world’s leading social video platform and community for gamers, are bringing the Rocket League Championship Series back for a second season.
Starting today, players interested in competing can register in teams of three for a chance to win the Rocket League championship title. The three-month season kicks off with a brand new format and a total prize pool of over $250,000 USD.
“RLCS Season 2 is going to be awesome,” says Jeremy Dunham, Vice President, Psyonix. “We learned a lot from Season 1 and so did our players, and we can’t wait to apply that knowledge to the next competition. Our newer, more simplified format and bigger prize pools are a reflection of what our viewers, pros, and community have been asking for, and we’re incredibly proud to give it to them.”
