Esports World Cup Rocket League 2024 format and teams
The 16 teams attending the Rocket League EWC tournament in Riyadh have been divided into four groups, where they’ll play out a double-elimination GSL bracket. Each match is a best-of-five; win two matches, and that victorious team progresses to the playoffs. Lose two, and that team will be going home.
The final eight will be reseeded into a single-elim bracket where each match is a best-of-seven. By Aug. 25, we’ll crown a Rocket League champ and dish out their $200,000 prize.
All esports teams participating in Rocket League at the Esports World Cup were invited to the event; there were no earlier qualifiers.
Here’s a look at each team and which group they’ll play through in groups.

Group B Falcons XO Esports Gen.G Mobil1 Team Secret |
