We are happy to announce that following a discussion with the EU T.O.s, the EU Online Finals will in fact be making a return. Travel restrictions have loosened up, but the unforeseen delay of Genesis 8 still proves that even the best laid plans are capable of being uprooted. The EU Finals has become a staple for the EU scene, with it being the main place for exciting side events such as Doubles and Crew Battles to send off the year in style. Instead of sending out a single champion to the United States the EU scene saw its best players square off one final time in each season for the highest stakes of each respective year. What came to pass grew into a celebration of the EU scene that had not been seen before. The EU specific RCS Finals in Seasons 5 and 6 were initially created to work around an uncertain world with a raging pandemic. More information on Champion Mollo will be revealed as Season 7 progresses! Players who enter either the RCS July or RCS August Online events will receive Champion Olympia.
Our four newcomers have yet to receive any DLC skins, and there is no better time than the present to announce that Champion Olympia and Champion Mollo will be available as free prizes to all participants of specific Online events. This means that LAN events can receive a total of $900 each, and Online events can receive up to $500 each.įinally, this season we are happy to re-introduce Champion Skins to the RCS. Each LAN event will receive $400 as a default pot bonus directly from the Rivals team, while every single event will also be eligible for funding through the start.gg RCS Tier System. We hope the spread of in-person majors and the accessibility of online events can work in harmony to provide the best RCS season yet for the European Region.Īs seen above, the official lineup of events for the EU RCS is varied and exciting to say the least. Time to hit the jackpot! Format and ScheduleĪfter two seasons of online only events due to the pandemic, it is finally time to bring back RCS LAN events to the EU! We have worked directly with community leaders from the region to tailor a season balancing several different countries for LAN events and maintaining four separate online events between July 10th and January.
Following our recent announcement of the RCS Powered by start.gg, it is time to bring back Official Rivals Championship Series events to Europe!
