Rocket League has had its fair share of crossovers over its six years of existence but only a few have brought the freestyling community forward like we are about to witness.
The car soccer video game isn’t only adding the BMW body to the item shop, but also running a collaborative sponsored event with the best freestylers in the world to compete for big money on the main stage.
Whilst the winner will not receive a car from the sponsor like in the Ford Freestyle Invitational back in February, getting heavily rewarded in cash for your freestyling abilities is a rare sight for their scene.
From who’s freestyling their butts off to when it’s all going down, here’s everything you need to know about the Rocket League BMW Freestyle Tournament.
