This commitment from Throwdown and Psyonix is the next stage in growing the community in Australia and beyond. We know that the appetite is there and with the support of brands like OMEN by HP, together we can emulate the success of gaming we’ve seen in more mature markets of the world. 2017 saw a tremendous amount of growth and we’re looking forward to taking that to the next level in 2018.”

The OCE Championship is the pinnacle of professional Rocket League in our region and one of the most viewed broadcasts in Oceania. We hope to make 2018 a truly special year for both Throwdown and Rocket Leagues’ communities.”
