Lamborghini Open – Battle of The Bulls
Two showdown events will be featured during the Lamborghini event in April. Specifically, on April 23rd to 25th, fans of both Rocket League and Lamborghini will be able to watch these epic showdowns. The participants and their matchups will be revealed on @RLEsports on Twitter just before the event.
Developer Psyonix will follow up the event with a cinematic video, as they called it, of the match, in which fans will be able to see highlights and more. It’ll be posted on the Rocket League Esports YouTube channel a little after the fact. We will update this section as more details come to light.
Finally, the Rocket League and a car brand partnership cycle is becoming a fan favorite. Most recently, Ford partnered with Rocket League and released a version of their F150 truck in-game. Now, barely two months after the Ford partnership, it’s time for Lamborghini to leave their mark on the Rocket League circuit. With how happily fans have responded to the new car and the added items so far, there’s no doubt that the whole thing will end up a smashing success!
We just hope somewhere down the line Škoda gets featured just for the memes.
