The tournament, organised by Clarion Events and produced by Allied Esports, will take place from April 12-14 at ExCeL London as part of the ICE London Expo and for many of the players will be their first-ever LAN event having been starved of such in-person events due to the pandemic.

Competitors will come from the HyperX Esports Truck, which will itself be surrounded by “cutting-edge holograms to deliver a next gen experience for fans in the arena.”

Commentary will be provided by Mike “Gregan” Ellis and John “JohnnyBoi_i” MacDonald, two familiar faces in the world of Rocket League esports. All the action will be streamed live on the Allied Esports Twitch channel.

The full schedule for the event can be found below.
