Rocket League OCE Championship kicks off this weekend

The Rocket League OCE Championship (RLOC) starts this weekend and offers Australian and New Zealand teams the chance to compete in the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) finals.

RLOC runs for nine weeks in total, concluding on 14 October. The event’s prize pool was recently doubled to $50,000 USD, offering winning teams the chance to play for the RLCS whopping $1 million USD prize pool.

“RLOC Season 1 was a huge success with over 150 teams taking part, with local teams Tainted Minds and Chiefs progressing to last season’s finals,” George Cordalis, Throwdown Esports Manager, said.

“I’m sure we will see even more players and teams signing up this season, to test their skills and try to claim the two qualification spots available, and a chance to win part of that huge $1 million prize.”

RLOC action will be livestreamed via Twitch each Sunday. For more information, head here.

Rocket League is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
