RL Roadmap: Spring 2018

[Mikepjbell 354]

 

I just wanted to update you all on updates coming to Rocket League in Early 2018.

 

I took a bit of a break from Rocket League when joining FG, but I'm picking it back up now as the dedicated champion and I'm hoping some of you can enjoy it with me, and indeed the new features coming which are listed below.

 

Some notable updates to me are:

- Tournaments sounds bloody good fun and it's be good to get 2v2 and 3v3 teams together for that!

- Team quick-chat only sounds helpful. I can't count the amount of times when I've wanted to type something just to my team.

Really good update. Looking forward to seeing what the Tournaments are like and how they work.

On that note, we need to finish the one we had started. Some key learns on that for next time.
