After seven North American Qualifiers, we’re ready for the first weekend of in-studio Regionals for the Universal Open Rocket League! The best 2v2 teams from the East Coast of the United States will head to the pitch in two Regional events this weekend. The East Regional will take place on Saturday, August 5 and the Northeast Regional on Sunday, August 6. Both events will be livestreamed on NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app, and Twitch, with the final hour of each Regional televised on all eight NBC Sports Regional Networks. As we approach the first studio broadcast, let's take a look at who will be fighting for regional supremacy and their ticket to the Grand Finals in Santa Ana, California.
The East Regional
The East is bringing some of its best, with JKnaps and Rizzo teaming up as G2 Esports, and Kronovi and TheJahzo as G2 Esports B, to battle for two tickets to the Grand Finals. While the road to Santa Ana won’t be easy, all eyes will be on both G2 squads to see how they perform against the other teams that fought their way through the open qualifiers to the East Regional. We’ll also be keeping an eye on Ascension, featuring Oshnatour and community-favorite Skaxy, to make their mark in the East.
- Saturday, August 5 broadcast live at NBC Sports.com and Twitch from 12:30pm ET to 5:00pm ET
- Saturday, August 5 final hour televised on the below channels:
The Northeast Regional
A classic rivalry finding its way into Rocket League, the best players from New York and New England fight for two tickets out to sunny California. With DreamHack Atlanta Champions, SquishyMuffinz and Torment representing Cloud 9, they’re the crowd favorites here. However, Fireburner and Moses are teaming up to try and make a run to Santa Ana. With Onslaught Esports and Ambition Esports qualifying as well, the Northeast is bringing some of the best Rocket League players to the pitch on Sunday.
- Sunday, August 6 broadcast live at NBC Sports.com and Twitch from 4:30pm ET to 9:00pm ET

SteamOS and Mac Beta Versions
As of September 8, 2016, the SteamOS and Mac versions of Rocket League® were released to "Beta." SteamOS is the only "officially" supported Linux client, though other Linux platforms may be compatible. Likewise, the Mac version may or may not work on older systems with an integrated video solution and a dedicated GPU is highly recommended (Macs from 2013 or after should be okay). Mac system requirements are as follows:
- OS: MacOS X 10.8.5
- Processor: Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: OpenGL 4.1 - ATI Radeon HD 5670, NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M, Intel HD Graphics 4000 or Iris Pro Graphics
Be sure and check ongoing patch notes for SteamOS and Mac beta updates going forward. Listed below are all known issues for both versions of the game as of September 8, 2016:
- The correct store page for DLC purchased through the Showroom doesn’t show up for Big Picture users. This is a Steam client-specific issue that Valve will be fixing in an upcoming patch
- There are occasional crashes when exiting from a match to the main menu
- The statues in Urban Central do not display correctly
- You may experience intermittent blurring issues
- (Mac Only) Xbox 360 controllers won’t work. You will need a third-party driver solution to use them
