ROCKET LAUNCHING IS BACK, BOYS. It’s been 63 days since my last Rocket League column. I’m sorry about that. Who would have known that a full class load, a part time job and a greater role at my university’s newspaper would have left me so strapped for time? None of that matters now. Slap on…

His parents, David and Elizabeth Jurgens, were confused by the sudden inquiry. “No,” David responded instinctively. He took a moment to process his 15-year-old son’s request and added a follow-up…
Sometimes the black and white nature of pieces like these can be off-putting. “You really mean to tell me that a pro player is a complete loser just because they didn’t win the World Championship?” Reader, I hear you loud and clear. There’s a broad spectrum of winning and losing at massive events like the…
This is what championship exhilaration looks like. Pure emotion.@NRGgg is overcome with joy after taking home their first-ever World Championship victory.

Playing in one of the outer realms of the Rocket League world must be so difficult. Options for scrims with high-level competition can be slim. Facing teams from other regions comes with high ping and when the game is moving as quickly as it does at the professional level, any disruption makes it nearly impossible…
Rocket League Esports has a funny way of playing with the progression of time. Season 7’s World Championship feels like it was played eons ago, but Renault Vitality raised the cup less than six months ago. It feels strange because so much has changed.

“Sorry to let you down.” Those harrowing words appeared as a somber antendum to Mariano “Squishy” Arruda’s Season 8 recap tweet.
