That was really difficult to overcome because we've got a lot of really good Rocket League talent in this country." England's 2022 Commonwealth Esports Championships roster "If one of them were to qualify, then they would be out of the roster. The Rocket League Championship Series, which is the biggest tournament for Rocket League, overlaps the Commonwealth Games so during selection we weren't sure on who would 100% be available for the event itself. "Rocket League has been quite a difficult one to manage. Almost all of our players play in professional leagues within their own disciplines, so there's an overlap between key events. Weller continued: "The idea was to build the strongest team we could from the players who were available, which has been quite difficult. However, the event's positioning in the calendar did give Weller a headache in terms of his selection. With our roster, I don't know why I would feel any nerves to be honest, they're all very capable, they all play at the top of their game." There's a lot to do, I think I'm just focusing on the task at hand at the moment," Weller said. "There's no nerves, I'm just very confident. Weller has assembled a formidable roster for the event, with many competing in professional leagues within their discipline and representing some of the biggest organisations in esports. Unlike many esports tournaments, the Commonwealth Esports Championships will not carry cash prizes with players instead competing for gold, silver and bronze medals.Įngland will compete against 28 other Commonwealth nations across three titles - DOTA 2, eFootball and Rocket League. #ATHENA ROCKET LEAGUE TRIAL#
