The 1v1 Rocket League esports series is an important practice for pro players who plan to compete in the official Solo division of RLCS 2025.

We are in the middle of the off-season period in Rocket League, but that doesn’t mean pro players are free from tournament practice. Some pretty interesting events happen to keep the competitive excitement before the official Championship series returns in January 2025. One of them is Rocket League Salt Mine 4: EU and NA players can compete in the 1v1 series, having a few qualifications and two big final events.

While Solo matches have been part of the Rocket League experience for quite a while, they are boosted to the next level in 2025. The community will be able to witness qualifiers and two 1v1 Majors during RLCS 2025. The World Championship 2025 has a separate 1v1 Final.

The Salt Mine Rocket League is an opportunity for the professionals to test and improve their skills in this type of competition. For the viewers and fans, it’s a chance to witness great matches with favorite players and probably learn something new for the personal 1v1 Rocket League progress.
