Psyonix has revealed the details for the RLCS 2021-22 season, and there is plenty for Rocket League esports fans to sink their teeth into. Arguably the biggest bit of news to come from the announcement is that the RLCS 2021-22 season will see a return to live international events.
There will be four LAN events across the season - three Majors at the end of each split, and the RLCS World Championship. Psyonix has also confirmed that Stockholm, Sweden will be the location for the first of these events, the Fall Split Major. Unfortunately, there are no plans to have a live audience at this LAN event, but Psyonix says it is a possibility for the other events and that it will "reevaluate" this in 2022. The Fall Split Major will take place December 8-12.
In a press event, Cliff Shoemaker, director of esports at Psyonix, says that "there will be very stringent and strict COVID-19 rules and regulations" for those competing at the event, with player safety remaining the developer's number one priority for the return to LAN.
