Don’t miss the opportunity to invite your school’s students to participate in the NIRSA Championship Series’ esports championship tournament, happening February 24-26! This esports tournament featuring Rocket League is a chance for institutions to send their own Rocket League players on to a national tournament. School teams will have a chance to compete in our 1-on-1 or 3-on-3 divisions within our competitive, recreational, or Unified leagues.
Registration opens on January 17 and will be managed through IMLeagues. The high-powered hybrid of arcade-style soccer and vehicular mayhem is a favorite of university students. So, mark your calendars and prepare to register your school. Don’t forget to encourage your esports players to customize their cars, hit the field, and compete in one of the most critically acclaimed sports games of all time!
