The RLCS 2024 season brought significant changes to the format, emphasizing more open competition and equitable distribution of prize money across a wider range of teams. The season featured three online Open Qualifiers for each region, leading up to two in-person Majors, culminating in the Rocket League World Championship. Teams from North America, Europe, MENA, Oceania, South America, APAC, and SSA competed for a global prize pool of over $4,300,000, with the NA region being a focal point for intense competition.
In the North American Qualifier 2 for RLCS 2024, teams vied for top positions to secure their spot in the RLCS Major, following a structured path from an Open Double Elimination bracket to a 16-team Swiss System, and finally to an 8-team Single Elimination bracket. This rigorous format ensured that only the best teams could advance, making each match critical for the competitors.
The RLCS 2024 season also highlighted the introduction of younger talents into the competitive scene, with the minimum age for competitors lowered to 13. This change likely introduced fresh dynamics and strategies into the qualifiers, with young prodigies facing off against seasoned veterans.
