Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) 2022-23 Season

    • Offizieller Beitrag


    The Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) 2022-23 Season is almost here! Teams from all over the globe are set to compete for their share of the $6,000,000 prize pool and a shot at glory at the Rocket League World Championship. There's a lot to go over before we hit the gas on the upcoming season, so let's jump right into it!

    Refining the RLCS Format

    The RLCS 2021-22 Season was the biggest RLCS season yet. The name of the game for the RLCS 2022-23 Season is refinement and giving players and fans year-over-year stability. Check out what we've kept and what's new:

    • The season is divided into Fall, Winter, and Spring Splits.
    • Every Split has three Regional Events. Regional Event names are now standardized and are an Open, a Cup, and an Invitational (Example: Fall Open, Fall Cup, and Fall Invitational).
      • The Fall Open will have fully Open Qualifiers to fill the 16 available slots.
      • For the Winter and Spring Opens, the top eight in overall points will auto-qualify and the remaining eight slots will be filled by Open Qualifiers.
      • Each Cup will have eight teams qualified via overall season points, and eight additional teams will qualify via Open Qualifiers.
      • Each Invitational will field that region's top 16 teams in total RLCS points.
    • Every Split is capped with an in-person, 16-team International Major.
      • The invite structure of Majors remains the same.
    • Each Split features a different format.
    • Teams earn points during Regional Events and International Majors to qualify for the Rocket League World Championship.
      • The amount of points earned at International Majors remains heavily weighted over Regional Events.
    • Points have been adjusted to have lower totals.
      • To give an idea of the change, the max amount of points a team can earn (a perfect run through Regional Events and International Majors) is 300, versus 5262 last season.
    • Asia-Pacific North and Asia-Pacific South have been combined into a single Asia-Pacific (APAC) RLCS Region.
    • A full ruleset will be released soon and will be found here.

    In the Fall Split, a 16-team Swiss Stage will feed into an eight-team, Single-Elimination Bracket. For the Winter Split, four groups of four battle it out in a Round-Robin Group Stage to qualify for the 12-team, Single-Elimination Bracket. In the Spring Split, teams fight through a 16-team, Double-Elimination Bracket. The Rocket League World Championship format and qualification remain unchanged (APAC will still have two slots, but qualify from a single Regional League).
