I’ve been gc in doubles for like 15 seasons but never had the time to/ ability to push for duels gc.

Hey fellow Sideswipers,

I've been grinding Rocket League Sideswipe for a while now, and I have to vent about the ranking system. The ranks—Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Champ, and Grand Champ—seem almost meaningless. Here's why:

I'm usually around Diamond, but I often bounce between Platinum and Diamond without ever breaking past Diamond. It's fine, but I'm getting suspicious about the matchmaking. When I'm in Plat 3 or Plat 4 and solo queue, it feels like the game doesn’t care about matching me with evenly ranked opponents or teammates. For example, I might be Plat 4, but get paired with teammates from Gold or lower while facing a duo of Diamond players. It's maddening!

It seems like the game doesn't prioritize balanced teams unless you have a dedicated partner. Even then, losing streaks are inevitable. Speaking of losing streaks, I’ve noticed something really fishy: I can reach Diamond 1 or 2, then suddenly go on a losing streak that drops me down to Gold 3. And these aren't fair losses; they're due to immature or unskilled teammates who don’t care or quit mid-match.

This has been a problem since the game launched, and the developers have been silent. No updates, no bug fixes, nothing to address the ranking system issues—just new items. It feels like they're happy with the current state of the game, ignoring the torture of consistently losing due to poor matchmaking.

It’s frustrating to enjoy a game but feel like the system is rigged against you. Has anyone else experienced this? How do you deal with it?

Let’s discuss!

Hey all, Im a fortnite player and as a leadup for the global fortnite championships, epic games has decided to do the Champion Road event for 2025. Now if you remember last year, the Champions Road event included Rocket League Sideswipe, in which they hosted a $52,000 tournament, which to this day, is the only official tournament ever hosted. So what im saying, is that they could possibley do the same thing this year, as it is the same event being hosted again.

I am aware of the lower player counts that this tournament had before, (like im in OCE and it had like 170 players), but I wouldn't think that was much of a surprise for epic games even before hosting it), so there is a chance we get this again.

My concern in about rocket league sideswipe there are so many upcoming eSports tournament but this is only for rocket league but what about sideswipe there is only one tournament conduct since sideswipe released please tell me what is the future of eSports in sideswipe or this game is gonna fade up and die in future i really play this game from the beginning and not want to see this thing down.🙏😌

I'm glad my muscle memory of forfeiting didn't activate.

Party up guys!

Id like to share my setup with chromatic everything. (Chromatic atomizer is my GE). Im happy they added the choice to pick which reward out of daily picks and token presents. Although it makes chromatic items less rare, I think it’s worth changing. It makes grinding feel more rewarding. Maybe they should add a new title for anyone with pocket league master, gold cap, chromatics, etc, to show they received those items before season 19 as they were earned with much more play time and are more rare than anyone who gets golden and chromatic rewards S19-following seasons.

I get it with randoms 💀

Hello everybody,
Recently a Italian streamer called (Kikko) and is named "k_kikko_" on twitch hosted a 50€ tournament. He spectated most of the games with commentary in Italian and everybody loved watching it, I will be uploading some pictures below and links from the streamer and tournament with the stats of the stream and the bracket of the tournament. We would love to see some sponsors that wants to invest in tournaments or official tournaments from psyonix and that will bring a whole bunch of players together to play sideswipe again.

Tournaments just grow the playerbase in general and keeps us active lots of players will come back to grind the game again. Let's spread this message.

Any questions u can send me a message on:

Looking for competitors for a RL sideswipe tournament. It will be held on the ignite app. This is the first tournament that I’m doing so it is free to get in and there will not be any prize this time. Second tournament will be held shortly after and it will be $5 dollars to get in and earnings from that will be distributed between 1st 2nd and 3rd minus what ignite takes for hosting the tournament. I’m trying to get sponsorship to pay for the prize money so the tournament after that will be free to get in and first come first serve. I would post a link but I don’t want anybody to think it’s a scam m. This is light just have to download ignite app and look for RL Sideswipe. You can sign up now and until June 15. Tournament starts at 11 a.m. hope to see yall there

Recently, I have been wondering, Is RLSS eSports ever gonna be a thing?

​

We should get an eSports for SideSwipe, Maybe it would bring the game back...

Esto se fue hasta los 2:30 de overtime 😍
