RLCS 2026 keeps the three-online-Opens-per-split structure and A‑tier Open events carry six‑figure prize pools (Open-level events have been listed at $133,200), so early NA Open results feed directly into RLCS points and Major qualification math. (blast.tv)) Shopify Rebellion’s 2026 Rocket League roster is listed as Firstkiller, Lj and kofyr with ViolentPanda noted as coach, and the organization’s Liquipedia profile shows cumulative Rocket League winnings in the six‑figure range. (liquipedia.net)) Rocket League’s new Bracket Rivalry runs with free creator Player Titles available March 20–26; every goal scored while wearing a chosen Title helps that creator duo advance through the bracket, and the top two duos will meet in a live showmatch at the Paris Major on May 24. (rocketleague.com)) The RLCS Paris Major is scheduled as an in‑person Major in late May 2026 at Paris La Défense Arena (event dates around May 20–24), with Liquipedia listing the Major’s tournament page and prize‑pool details. (parisladefense-arena.com)) LEVELUP Arena’s public listings place the venue in Kansas City at 1800 Genessee St and describe it as a tournament‑grade esports facility used for regional events, while Urban Edge (UEN) publishes apps and channel listings used to stream collegiate and regional esports content. (chamberofcommerce.com)) The Heart of America Athletic Conference has run Heart Esports Rocket League conference tournaments previously (Park University has hosted conference events) and Missouri Valley is recorded as the 2025 Heart Esports Rocket League Conference champion, indicating returning member programs for this year’s bracket.
