After 48 hours removed from the regular-season finale for Europe, there’s a lot of Rocket League<\/a> to talk about — and for good reason.<\/p>\n If we thought that the break between the third regional event and the split’s Major was a long one, just wait until we finally get to witness professional European Rocket League again in the RLCS X Championships in about a month.<\/a><\/p>\n Until then, BDS won yet another Major victory<\/a> and we couldn’t stop thinking about the continent, its season and the ups and downs in storylines through it all, so without further ado here’s five things we learnt after the EU Spring Major.<\/p>\n Debatably the best professional Rocket League trio the world has ever seen has completed the RLCS X Major three-peat winning all events of its kind during the season.<\/p>\n Winning twice against Vitality and once against Solary definitely has shown they’re built different, adding to their already decorated campaign with five regional wins.<\/p>\n The European behemoths don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon and we know there’s nothing they’d love more than finish RLCS X with a European Championship for the season. Only time will tell.<\/p>\n The day before the European Spring Major, Aether announced they had been signed by SK Gaming<\/a>, the German esports organisation making their return to competitive Rocket League.<\/p>\n Finishing the group stage with a 2-2 record only dropping series to Top Blokes and Major runner-ups Solary then defeating Team Queso in the Playoffs only to fall short to Solary yet again in a hard-fought Game 7.<\/p>\n Read more: <\/strong>A demotivated Jstn opts out of Rocket League IWO: “Nothing makes me happy”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The run is impressive in and of itself as the org now walks away from the tenth season with a $10,000 share of the prize pool in just one tournament. <\/p>\n Everybody and their mothers expect the boys to come back and play under the SK banner when RLCS 11 comes around.<\/p>\n Former World Champion Team Vitality’s momentum has been brought to a screeching halt and while results have not been horrible, it’s definitely not the ones you’d expect from a world-class org that found the maximum success less than two years ago.<\/p>\n Finishing top 12 in their last two RLCS X showings and in a dry spell of a championship since the Fall Regional #3 — almost eight months ago.<\/p>\n The French squad still managed to finish second in the regular season and secured a great seed for the European Championship which they’ll enter with almost zero momentum. Maybe the setback is preparing us for a major comeback and even an upset over archnemesis BDS.<\/p>\n The story has been told several times over the course of the season’s second half; Oxygen dropped their roster only for Solary to pick them right up including their RLCS circuit points which evidently worked in their favour.<\/p>\n The French organisation clinched their way into the RLCS X finale event and has been improving with each event leading up to it, finishing top four during The Spring Grid, second during the Spring Major and Regional event #2.<\/p>\n1.
