NBC Sports Group And FACEIT Are Coming Together To Launch A Rocket League Tournament
This summer, NBC Sports Group, FACEIT, and Psyonix are partnering to launch the first-ever international 2v2 Rocket League tournament.
Starting July 22, the regional online qualifiers will be held on the FACEIT platform, and the top competitors will make their way into in-studio regional finals competitions on August 5-6 and 12-13. The tournament will end with a two-day Grand Finals on August 26-27, where 16 teams will battle for the $100,000 prize pool.
Across NBCUniversal and Comcast, there will be more than 40 hours of event coverage across live-streaming, video-on-demand, and linear platforms. The Senior Vice President of NBC Sports Ventures, Rob Simmelkjaer has announced that they're adding Television Deportes to engage the growing Spanish-language audience. Syfy will be handling the international component and will be broadcasting the Grand Finals in the UK, Germany, Australia, and multiple countries across Latin America.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
