Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin For esports fans, nothing quite matches the excitement of being in a world championship crowd, but the latest Rocket League World Championship aftermovie manages to combine high-flying plays, massive crowd reactions, and emotional moments into one slick video. The Rocket League Championship Series 2021-22 season concluded last month with the competition’s first in-person Worlds event since 2019, welcoming fans to Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Rocket League developer Psyonix’s official aftermovie combines some of the most stylish plays we’ve ever seen with footage of players celebrating their goals and, of course, clips of the crowd going wild in response.

For those who haven’t had the pleasure of attending a world championship-level esports event, it’s hard to explain the satisfaction of attending an event surrounded by people who love the esport as much as you do. Not only do you feel the weight of every pass, demolition, save, and goal, but the roar of the crowd around you serves as a reminder of exactly why this game and these players mean so much so many people. The video captures the players’ own highs and lows of the weekend, highlighting the juxtaposition of underdog V1 Esports celebrating their victory over Spacestation Gaming as long-term team member Retals walks away from what would be his last tournament with the eliminated side.

And of course, the highest high from the weekend came as Team BDS capped off their dominating World Championship win with a 3-0 victory over G2 .

The Brazilian squad defeated Europe’s top-seeded Moist Esports with two clutch goals in the last 18 seconds of game 7 to steal the win and secure their ticket to semifinals.

The reaction of players and crowd members alike, highlighted at 7:28 in the video , epitomizes the thrill of live esports. The next opportunity for Rocket League fans to attend a live major tournament will be the Fall Major, pitting the best teams from each RLCS region against each other in Rotterdam, The Netherlands at the Rotterdam Ahoy from December 10-11th. Until then, there are plenty of online events to tide fans over, starting with the RLCS European Fall Open, starting October 14th.
