Spanish organisation FC Barcelona is returning to Rocket League<\/a> after releasing their previous roster back in mid-April. <\/p>\n

Now, Barça has recruited their new squad for the upcoming RLCS 2021-22 season<\/a> by picking up independent team White Demons on 27th September.<\/p>\n

This means that Ivan “Dorito” Ruiz Jiménez, Cristian “crr” Fernandez, Samuel “Zamué” Cortés and coach Brandon “Braan” Porto Fernández will be representing the blue and garnet org effective immediately.<\/p>\n

The all-Spanish roster will be looking to bring the Football Club’s esports brand to the top again after an underwhelming RLCS X season.<\/p>\n

FC Barcelona released<\/a> Nacho “Nachitow” Gimenez, Fredi “fredi” Lazarus and captain Ronald “Tahz” Oosting back in April 2021 following their season was brought to a halt after failing to qualify for the remaining regionals, major or championship tournaments.<\/p>\n

The White Demons signing was first reported<\/a> by Movistar eSports’ Carlos J. Diaz back in July of this year and finally has been made official almost three months later.<\/p>\n

The org’s five-month absence made Barcelona miss several B-Tier and A-Tier competitions in the old continent. It is believed the gap between the reported signing and the official announcement has contractual obligations attached to it.<\/p>\n

Now, the new Barcelona team will be looking to return prestige to the worldwide org as the RLCS 2021-22 season<\/a> is right around the corner. <\/p>\n

With a high-flying, young roster like the one Barça just picked up, it’s possible we see the rocketeer Culés in the upcoming Christmas LAN<\/a>.<\/p>\n
