Rocket League's MLG Final Ended In The Most Exciting Way Possible
By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001
This morning, for the first time, Major League Gaming ran a Rocket League tournament. The stakes were relatively low. The prize pool yono apk was meagre. At stake — not much really. Bragging rights. No-one could have predicted how insane the final outcome would be. Rocket League, as an eSport, is in its infancy. This was really the first tournament of any significance. As a massive fan of the game I watched a few matches this morning — to familiarise myself with what a high level Rocket League match looked like, to get an idea of what a high level Rocket League team looked like.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Turns out high level Rocket League team looks a lot like Cosmic Aftershock.

Later in the early afternoon I jumped on Twitter. Just by chance, a tweet from the official MLG account… https://twitter.com/embed/status/634574501875970048 Okay, the actual finals.

I started watching halfway through the second game — a tie at that point. That was unexpected. Cosmic Aftershock’s opponents: a highly regarded trio called ‘Urban’. Urban were making things difficult for Cosmic — pressuring, defending well. Towards the end of the match things started getting interesting: Urban scored, taking the game to 3-2.
