deadmau5 said the following of the collab: “I’ve been a Rocket League fan forever, so getting to team up and celebrate 10 years of the game is wild. I wrote ‘What a Save’ years ago with Rocket League in mind, and now dropping it in the game brings everything full circle.”
The news comes as Rocket League esports gears up for the Rocket League World Championship 2025, in Lyon’s LDLC Arena on September 9-14. The six-day event will decide whether Team Falcons can cement themselves at the top of the scene and repeat their Raleigh Major victory. Following so many previous heartbreaks, can the success spur the esports betting sites favourites to a World title in Lyon?
