Flipsid3 Tactics Win Rocket League Championship Series and $50,000 Prize
After months of fierce competition, Flipsid3 Tactics emerged as the champions of the second Rocket League Championship Series. This European team secured victory in a thrilling finale, which was a collaboration between developer Psyonix and broadcaster Twitch.
Flipsid3 Tactics Dominates in the Finals
Despite being sent to the lower bracket by Mock-It eSports in the second round, top seed Flipsid3 showed their resilience by scoring two 4-1 wins over their rivals. The key to their success was their exceptional defensive play, holding Mock-It to one goal or fewer in all but one of their winning rounds.
European Teams Shine in the Championship
Not only did Flipsid3 Tactics claim victory, but Northern Gaming also had a strong performance, completing a podium sweep for the European sides. Disappointingly, North American underdogs Take 3 finished fourth, while top seed NRG Esports was eliminated early with a 1-2 record.
For their incredible achievement, Flipsid3 Tactics took home a $50,000 prize. Additionally, they earned $13,500 for winning the European RLCS league, surpassing their previous season one results where they were defeated in the final by iBUYPOWER.
Debut Season Champions Struggle in North American League
In a surprising turn of events, the debut season champions, now under G2 Esports, finished seventh in the North American league and failed to reach the finals.
