Today, Turner Broadcasting and IMG announced that their esports content brand ELEAGUE would continue its partnership with Rocket League developer and publisher Psyonix, bringing The ELEAGUE Cup: Rocket League 2018 to viewers in both a live event and four-part series.
The league event features eight of the best Rocket League teams in the world and will be streamed live on Twitch from the ELEAGUE Arena in Atlanta. Following the tournament, TBS will air a four-part special featuring highlights of the best plays and stories from the event, which is set to begin December 7.
The tournament will take place over three days, November 30 – December 2, beginning at 2 p.m. EDT each day. Two groups of four teams each will play in a double-elimination bracket. The top teams from both groups will move into a single-elimination playoff on Sunday, December 2, with the winning team walking away with $150,000.
Those looking to attend the tournament can get free tickets to join the studio audience on December 1 and December 2 via Evenue. The event can also be viewed on the ELEAGUE Twitch channel or ELEAGUE.com.
Once Rocket League 2018 comes to an end, fans will be able to relive the experience by catching four special episodes on TBS on December 7, 14, 21, and 28 at 11 p.m. EDT/PDT.
