Epic Games just announced Rocket League Live, which is a strange but cool new way to watch Rocket League Esports. You will now be able to watch Rocket League matches within Fortnite. With the Rocket League Winter Major finals set to take place on 27th March, Fortnite players can tune in to the matches from the popular battle royale by Epic Games. To watch Rocket League Live, players simply need to log in to Fortnite and head inside the Legendary Champions Field.
How Does Rocket League Live Work?
Fortnite players who want to view the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) - Winter Major from the Legendary Champions Field can do so in-game from the main menu. When you enter the Champions Field, you will need to choose a team to support and you can also play mini-games in the area while you watch the games. All participating teams have a “boost meter” that can be filled up by supporters to unlock items and abilities. The Champions Arena was designed by Fortnite Creators 404FNC and FiveWalnut.
The Winter Major is not the only event that can be viewed within Fortnite. Players will be able to watch matches from future Rocket League Championship events this season as well while also getting multiple opportunities to unlock limited-time items.
