As of right now, we’re now sitting patiently for the next season of Rocket League. Accordingly, only days ago the WePlay Rocket League Invitational event was announced. Indeed, we’re here to offer some viewership coverage in this episode of How to Watch!
Event Background
Again, this surprise is not a first-party event, but a third-party hosted by WePlay Esports.
Coming out with a surprise announcement a couple days ago, this is the organizer’s first entrance into competitive Rocket League.
Indeed, to celebrate, the Invitational looks to be taking place across two separate regions with a combined prize pool of $100,000. Specifically, both the EMEA and North America regions will be covered – take a look at the competitors below:
North America:
- The General NRG
- Team Envy
- Spacestation Gaming
- Rogue
- G2 Esports
- FaZe Clan
- Shopify Rebellion
- Susquehanna Soniqs
EMEA:
- Team BDS
- Team Vitality
- SMPR Esports
- Vodafone Giants
- Guild Esports
- Karmine Corp
- Sandrock Gaming
- Dignitas
Kicking off on 16th September, the competition looks to continue to 19th September and be held online.
Let’s dive into the format for the upcoming event.
Format
As you can imagine, with both regions hosting 8 teams, the idea of a double elimination bracket is no surprise.
Indeed, all competitors have been seeded into the Winner’s Round match, where each team in the bracket will be a BO7. Everything looks to build-up to a Grand Final involving a BO7 best-of-three – you’ll need to win two BO7s to take it home.
And now, let’s list the first round matches for both regions.
North America:
- The General NRG vs Shopify Rebellion
- Spacestation Gaming vs FaZe Clan
- Rogue vs G2 Esports
- Team Envy vs Susquehanna Soniqs
EMEA:
- Team BDS vs Vodafone Giants
- Guild Esports vs Karmine Corp
- Team Vitality vs Sandrock Gaming
- SMPR Esports vs Dignitas
Indeed, both event formats will be taking place side by side.

Predictions
It’s been a while since we’ve enjoyed some top tier competition, with the RLCS Season X concluded back in June.
This event is a perfect opportunity for teams to warm up for this upcoming season and show off where they are. Anyways, to properly predict, we’ll be looking at the RLCS results for both regions.
North American RLCS X Championship:
- The General NRG
- Team Envy
- Spacestation Gaming
- Rogue
- G2 Esports
- FaZe Clan
It’s no question here that NRG continue to be the dominant team in the region. Accordingly, it’s a matter of how the remainder of the podium looks to be settled to perhaps contest with them.
EMEA RLCS X Championship:
- Team Vitality
- Team BDS
- Top Blokes
- Team Queso
- Guild Esports
- Solary
Moving over to Europe, the teams competing at the upcoming WePlay Invitational differ from those competing at the RLCS X event. Regardless, it’s no doubt that Team Vitality and Team BDS are your top two teams who continue to trade with one another at the top.
