Monster Trucks meet Soccer

Rocket League! A game of soccer but with a twist, you are driving cars and trucks. The goal of the game is pretty straight forward, score goals against an enemy team in a 4 versus 4 matchup. The match is played inside an arena, and players play with a ball which is larger than the cars themselves.

Matches in the game are roughly five minutes long with an overtime if there is a tie of score. The players can use their cars with weird physics in the game, such as jumping to hit the ball while it is in mid air and there are also speed boosts which players utilize in different ways to either speed up or ram into other cars. Speed boosts create the havoc and fun inside a match and can be used to dodge and pull off some hefty tricks during play.

The game has introduced a free battle pass feature for players which can be used to unlock different items and cosmetics. Rocket League supports cross-platform play, meaning someone playing on a PC can matchup with someone playing on a PS4 or an Xbox One.

The game has its own tournament which was held in 2016 and had a total prize pool of $55,000. The game is a sponsored esport and has held various tournaments since. The game is fairly under the radar on the scene since the player base is not as high. However, with further improvements and an addition of different match modes, the game has the potential to take the market of esports by storm.
