Most of you already saw the video on one of our social media platforms. We know that we also have a big following in other countries than the Benelux region and therefore provding you a translation of the things that were told in this video.

Yesterday, Unlocked unexpectedly announced their departure out of Rocket League and the 2024 season of Rocket League. Even though we already knew that they would stop funding the Elite Series for 2024, we didn't expect them to communicate this to the entire world without letting us know. Not giving us any time to prepare some sort of statement, nor giving us the possibility to inform organizations and players beforehand.

As it stands, it is very uncertain if we can bring the exact same thing as we did this year, though we want to emphasize that we heard all of your feedback about the circuit of 2023 and have implemented it into the plans of the 2024 circuit. As of now, our main focus is to gather partners and sponsors to find budget to fund the 2024 circuit. It is again, uncertain about what will happen next year and if so in what form. We will give any update when there's one, hopefully providing everyone with enough information for the upcoming season.

At last we want to thank everyone expressing their love and bond with Rocket Benelux, making us feel very appreciated and again confirming that our passion for both Rocket League and its esports is felt the same as you, our community, does. Today esports got recognized as an official sport in the Netherlands by NOC*NSF, meaning a big step for esports in NL, also creating some new opportunities for us as a company.
I once again want to ask anyone being or knowing any partners or sponsors for our 2024 season to reach out to us through e-mail (info@rocketbenelux.com) or to send us a message on our social media platforms, such as Discord, X, LinkedIn and Instagram.

Thanks everyone!

Much love,
Pieter, Paul, Pollie, Joessi
