Bracket Rivalry set for Paris
Rocket League announced Bracket Rivalry—an eight‑team duo format that feeds into a live show at the RLCS Paris Major and already has a public standings tracker. (x.com) The format and live show push indicate RLCS doubling down on eventized competitive content ahead of Paris.
Pinch Pro (Musty + uuest), Goalmaxxing (Retals + Mertzy), Sangre Caliente (NeneCreative + Rosdri), Cracked Captain (GarrettG + JamaicanCoconut), Retirement Home (Tri House + Widow), MENA Legend (Crnovy + Wajeh), Baguettes (Kaydop + Fairy Peak) and No Miss Just Fake (Gaspow + FuuRy) are the eight creator duos listed on the event page. (rocketleague.com)) The event runs in three tracking rounds with Round 1 from March 20–April 9, Round 2 from April 10–April 30, and Round 3 from May 1–May 18, and each round opens and closes at 9:00 AM PT. (rocketleague.com)) Player Titles for each duo are distributed through the Item Shop (titles first available March 20 at 9:00 AM PT through March 26 at 9:00 AM PT and returning at the start of each round), and the goals a player scores while wearing their chosen Title count toward that duo’s total across casual and competitive playlists. (rocketleague.com)) The in-page bracket shows live point totals during Round 1 — for example: Baguettes 831,648 vs Retirement Home 575,864; Goalmaxxing 2,148,128 vs Sangre Caliente 1,062,253; Pinch Pro 1,633,115 vs MENA Legend 1,108,259; Cracked Captain 881,740 vs No Miss Just Fake 4,683,717 — and the page timestamps updates. (rocketleague.com)) Rocket League schedules the Bracket Rivalry final two teams to meet in a live showmatch at the Paris Major on May 23, while the Paris Major itself is set for May 20–24 at Paris La Défense Arena with a reported $354,000 prize pool.
