Twitch and Psyonix team up to launch Rocket League Championship Series

In a recent announcement, Amazon-owned Twitch social media platform for gamers and San Diego-based independent developer Psyonix have revealed that they have teamed up for the launch the Rocket League Championship Series towards the end of March.

The announcement implies Twitch's apparent efforts to double down on eSports, especially since 'Rocket League' amalgamates soccer with turbo-charged vehicles for arcade sports gameplay. The announced championship will be an official 3-vs-3 competition with real-world stakes.

Announcing their partnership for the launch of Rocket League Championship Series, Twitch and Psyonix have revealed that the registration for the championship series will be opened on March 25, 2016.

The Rocket League Championship Series launched by Twitch and Psyonix will unfold three-month gaming seasons during which gamers will compete across the U. S. and Europe, vying for a portion of the championship's prize poll of $75,000.

According to Nick Allen, Twitch director of eSports operations, the Rocket League Championship Series will initially be launched on the PC and PlayStation 4 platforms, with Xbox One to be added to the competition later on. The championship will be livestreamed by Twitch.

About the championship, Allen said: "We'll be focusing on online play for the early stages of the competition (qualifiers and regional finals), with the capstone event being a live, international championship."
