Psyonix announced today that its Rocket League Championship Series league, which has spanned nine seasons to date, will change into a longer, open events-based circuit.
The new circuit approach will have a total annual prize pool of more than $4.5 million (£3.6 million) across the entire season, and culminate in a larger Rocket League World Championship event.
According to Psyonix, the new approach – dubbed RLCS X – will open up high-level competition to even more teams than before while rewarding steady performance via a points-based structure.
