News:: Last season's Rocket League snubs might be this season's favorites

This trio has asserted itself as a staple of the Rocket League pro scene for a long time to come.

Heading into the Season 4 RLCS World Championships in Washington DC this weekend, it feels pertinent to detail exactly how the three of them got here. It started with a disappointing flameout in the spring open qualifiers for Season 3.
