The Immortals Progressive Bundle Bash 2023 event returns for its 2023 edition with 16 RLCS pros and 32 collegiate players. The event brings together RLCS pros and some of the best collegiate/CRL players to compete in three draft-style events across several months.

Each event features the opportunity for teams to win a share of the $10,000 prize pool. Pros can select their choice of collegiate teammates across three draft days. 

The initial invites will feature 16 RLCS Pros and 32 CRL players. The players will form sixteen teams post the Draft stage with each RLCS pro captaining their own team. Each team will comprise 1 RLCS pro and two CRL/collegiate players. 

A unique snake-style draft system kicks off the event with the randomly chosen order of picks. In a snake draft, each team has one pick per round. After the first round is over, the following round is in the reverse order of the previous round. So the captain that picks first in the initial round will get the last pick in the second round. The entire draft will be broadcast live on stream.

The sixteen teams will form four groups of four teams each in the Group Play. The team seedings will depend on their draft order.

The top two teams from each group, totaling eight teams from all four groups, advance to the playoffs. All Group Play matches are best-of-five matches.

The playoffs will feature eight teams competing in best-of-seven matches. It is a single-elimination bracket with no timeouts as the eight teams race to the top spot. 

Each of the three events features a $10,000 prize pool that is distributed amongst the teams. Here’s the prize pool distribution with the first-placed team taking home the lion’s share of the prize money.

The Draft stage, Group Play as well as both days of Playoffs will be broadcast live on twitch.tv/CollegeCarball. In total there will be 12 broadcast days with an anticipated runtime of 45 hours bringing the best Rocket League experience to fans from all over the world. 

Last year's edition of the Immortals Progressive Bundle Bash saw Team Toastie, Team Comm, and Team LionBlaze winning the three events.
