TWO ROCKET LEAGUE OPTIONS
Starting with Spring Major 2023, your students can play Rocket League in a 2v2 OR 3v3 setting. While a three-player team is more common in competitive Rocket League, the two-player mode is more popular than ever! Offering both options means your students can compete at their comfort level in a more casual setting or a competitive atmosphere. Plus, your students may be more familiar with the 2v2 structure! Each mode will be played on a different day of the week, allowing you to engage more students OR better engage your current players.
NEW ADDITIONS
