LetsPlay.Live today announced the details for 2020’s Rocket League Oceanic Championship as part of the ninth global season of RLCS.
Registration for the tournament series opens on Wednesday the 22nd of January, with the Open Qualifiers taking place on Saturday 8th and Sunday the 9th of February. The qualifiers are open to anyone over the age of fifteen who currently reside in the Oceanic region*, including Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Psyonix has generously put up a $75,000 USD prize pool for the tournament, with another $5,500 USD up for grabs as player accolades. These awards include the Golden Striker (most goals in the season), the Clutch Playmaker (highest average assists per game in the season), the Saviour of the Season (highest average saves per game in the season), and finally the Regular Season MVP for the player who contributed the most to their team’s success. This is the biggest award, and is judged by a panel of Rocket League analysts and administrators.
Six teams will make it through the Open Qualifiers and join Season 8 champions Renegades and runners-up Canberra Havoc in League Play. This phase of the tournament kicks-off on Sunday the 23rd of February and concludes on the 5th of April, with the Regional Playoffs taking place a week later.
