Viewers guide to Esports Collegiate’s first Rocket League season

What is Rocket League?

Rocket League is without a doubt one of the esports that is easiest to grasp, so easy in fact it can be boiled down to three simple words: “soccer with cars.”

Each match is a 3v3 competition with five minutes of regulation play. Across the field, players can pick up boost that they can use to accelerate faster or jump higher. If play remains tied at the end of the game, sudden death overtime is triggered with the first team to score taking home a win. The only other real rule to know is that if time expires and the ball is in the air the game doesn’t end until the ball touches the ground.
