[ The League ]
Compete. Represent. Be remembered.
Vanguard Esports is building structured competitive play on the Gulf Coast. Our first offering is Rocket League 3v3 — here's where things stand.
How it works
Subject to changeEvery game we host runs on its own structure. We're starting with one thing and doing it right: a single-day, 8-team Rocket League tournament. Here's exactly how it runs.
The tournament
8 teams. 3v3. 24 players, one day. Open registration for any roster that wants in. The format below is built so every team plays real matches — nobody drives home after one series.
Group stage
Teams split into two groups of four and play a round-robin inside their group — that's three best-of-three series for everyone. Standings are decided by series record, then game differential, then goal differential. The top two from each group advance. Every team is guaranteed 3 series (up to 9 games) — no one-and-done.
Playoffs
The four group winners enter a single-elimination bracket. Semifinals are best-of-five. The Grand Final is best-of-seven, played live and in person. Win it and you're the first name in Vanguard history.
Registration & seeding
Roster a team of three and lock your gamertags in Discord. Add your peak rank at signup so we can snake-seed teams evenly across both groups and keep the bracket fair. Confirm in the team check-in channel before the deadline to claim your spot.
[ Prize Pool ]
The bigger the field, the bigger the pot.
The prize pool scales with ticket sales and is distributed proportionally across 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The more competitors who show up, the larger the payout for everyone on the podium.
