The RLCS returns this October with the RLCS 2021-22 season. Doing away with the numbered seasons, RLCS 2021-22 really looks to shakeup Rocket League esports with new regions, a bigger prize pool, and a return to LAN.
That return to LAN includes the prestigious RLCS World Championship, which will be returning as a fully international event that will crown a global champion. While we're a long way off finding out where it will take place, we do know when - the Championship will run for a total of ten days, starting July 22 and ending on July 31.
The RLCS Championship will be split into two, with a Wildcard tournament and the 16-team Main Event. Prior to the Championship, eight of the best Rocket League teams will have auto-qualified, but the remaining eight spots will be contested for in the Wildcard stage. Each region in the RLCS will receive a certain number of spots at Wildcard, and only the top eight will earn a place at the Main Event.
