Twitch Rivals Rocket League Crew Battle: Schedule, format, prize pool, players and how to watch

Most Rocket League tournaments keep it relatively simple, 3v3, maybe 2v2, double-elimination bracket, best of 3 or 5 or 7. You get it while featuring the utmost competitive integrity, it can be slightly lacking in the creativity department, and that is where the Rocket League Crew Battles come in, with sixteen players and number of different game modes such as 3v3 'Snow Days' and 2v2 'Hoops'.

The event, which is in partnership with Twitch Rivals, has a $25,000 prize pool and some of Rocket League's most decorated players and popular content creators will be strutting their stuff such as NRG's latest signing, Mariano “SquishyMuffinz” Arrudais, and YouTube star Jared "SunlessKhan" Zook, with all signs pointing to this being one of the most fun RL events of the year.

The event will kick-off with competitors going up against each other in a speedrun, the top two performing players from the speedrun will be named team captains. The two captains then draft their teams from the 14 other players, after that's out the way the tournament begins in earnest.

Teams

Kronovi and Spoodah came out on top in the Speed run and were thus the team captains. Kronovi is the captain of the Left Twix Crew and his roster looks stacked, three pros, one ex-pro in Lethamyr and two of the most accomplished content creators in mustycow and SunlessKhan.

On Spoodah's Right Twix the team is certainly more set up for the memes but got a good late pick in Charlotte Phoenix's Karma. Of course, Dappur, Rizzo and Chicago are nothing to sniff at.
