Rocket League Championship Series evolves into $4.5M events circuit
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.

It will also afford Psyonix more flexibility in regards to hosting live events, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
