Singapore, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia are among the countries that have followed them. South Korea is an outlier in this group because it is not a country that is well-known for fielding strong Rocket League teams. They, along with China, are falling behind the rest of Asia in terms of development. There was a reason why Rocket League never really took off in those countries. Because the game, which was published by Tencent, was released later in China, the Chinese players had an additional hurdle to overcome. However, it was not fully released until 2019, despite the fact that the beta phase began in April 2017. Furthermore, unless they use a virtual private network (VPN) and the regular Psyonix-published version of the game, Chinese players will be able to only play on Chinese servers. They are frequently unable to compete in tournaments held in countries other than China. According to ReaLize, "I'm always playing with the expectation that I might be able to play in the RLCS in the near future."“I had planned to relocate to Australia a couple of seasons ago, but COVID put a stop to that.”After years of disappointment with each season's announcement, and with no hints as to what is to come in RLCS Season 11, players are still in the dark about what is to come in the upcoming season.
With games ranging from Heroes of the Storm to Rocket League, here are four e-sports titles to enjoy with your friends.
Rocket League Season 4 will be released later this week on all platforms that support the game, and it will include a significant amount of new content. Developer Psyonix has finally announced a release date for Rocket League Season 4, which will take place in early 2019. August 11th (tomorrow) is the scheduled launch date for the new Season. Regarding the Rocket League Season 4 start time, we typically see it begin around 8AM Pacific Time (11AM Eastern Time) and 4PM British Standard Time (BST). That is, of course, only a rough guideline. In keeping with what has become standard for the game since RL season 4 adopted the Seasonal cadence that many other games use, we'll be getting a brand new Rocket Pass and a Rocket Pass Premium to work our way through once the update goes live on April 12. A growing number of members of the Asian Rocket League community are becoming impatient and concerned about the current state of the competitive scene in their region. It is anticipated that Season 11 of the Rocket League Championship Series will begin later this year, and some players are hopeful that they will have the opportunity to compete in it. They've never had a chance like this before. Others, on the other hand, are less optimistic.
The Asian Rocket League community is running out of time to wait for their turn.
However, they are in danger of falling far behind other regions, as is the case in the Middle East. Many are concerned that they will never be able to catch up, despite the fact that they have been competing for years. The competitive Rocket League scene in Asia, as well as its current top players, have existed since the game's release in 2015, when it was first released. However, in order to host professional Rocket League events and tournaments with prize money in excess of $5000, organizers must first obtain approval from the game's developer, Psyonix. In Asia, the first time this happened was in July 2020, when APL Esports hosted The Kickoff. It was the first-ever Psyonix-sponsored Asian event, with a $45,000 prize pool to show for its efforts. Psyonix was beginning to take notice of the Asian music scene, which was perhaps a sign that the company was becoming more aware of the scene. Despite the fact that the RLCS has only hosted a few events over the years, players such as Shogo "ReaLize" Ikeyama have always hoped to compete in the league at some point. Among the international Rocket League community, the Japanese player is the most well-known, and he is also widely regarded as the best player in Asia.
Rocket League will be ported to Unreal Engine 5, but it will be a 'long-term project,' according to the developer.
The Intel World Open is the same as before. If a LAN tournament were to be held in 2020, we would have had the opportunity to compete against the best players in the world.”According to ReaLize, major tournaments are important for keeping Asian players motivated. He had won nearly all of the larger tournaments, including the Gulliver Cup, which was the largest Rocket League LAN in Japan, with nearly $10,000 in prize money. He had also won nearly all of the smaller tournaments. However, it was not sufficient for him. ReaLize and his team have set their sights on competing against the world's best teams in a variety of sports. The reason they were the first Asian team to qualify for an international LAN at DreamHack Montreal in 2019 and why they won the largest Japanese LAN in 2020 is because of their dedication and hard work. Whether or not ReaLize and other teams are given the opportunity to compete in their own RLCS, Asia has yet to demonstrate its ability to compete against the top Rocket League regions. Both ReaLize and Indonesian player Louis “LCT” Thamrun believe they have the potential to one day compete against the titans of Europe and North America in competitive eSports. However, LCT believes that Asia is not good enough at the present time.
Rocket League players are dissatisfied with the game's new casual mode rules.
“ReaLize is the only person in Asia who is good enough,” LCT stated.“What about the others, his teammates?”They're all over the place, just like my level. They would most likely finish in the top eight of the OCE. However, that is in the top eight. OCE is a challenging course. So, to be completely honest, I don't think they'll make it into the top eight. Because I'm from Indonesia, I'm eligible to compete in the Australian RLCS. As a result, I attempted to qualify for OCE. We've just made it into the top 16.”According to Ben Hurst, APL Esports Director of Broadcasts and Events, the Middle East is ahead of the rest of Asia in terms of esports participation, in part because of its geographic location.“The reason why the Middle East is able to sort of be theoretically competitive on the world stage is because they are able to play against European teams relatively comfortably,” Hurst explained.“That's not something you see in Asia. Teams are going to need some time to adjust to international competition, I believe, and I believe that will be the case.”The Asian teams may never be able to catch up if they don't put in the necessary effort. Japan currently holds the distinction of having the greatest depth of player talent.
