Since their triumphant rise in the SSA region in 2023, Limitless has clinched an impressive SIX RLCS Regional Championships and 3 Open Qualifier titles and has graced not only the RLCS World Championship event but also the prestigious Gamers8 Invitational Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Despite a challenging start to the 2024 RLCS Season, there are numerous reasons to celebrate their journey!
It was announced on July 23rd that Limitless had been invited to compete at this year’s Esports World Cup and represent the SSA region. But the invitations don’t stop there! Limitless will also represent SSA at the RLCS World Championship Event later this year, competing against the best teams in Rocket League. With over 1.3 million USD in prizes at stake across the two historic events, we had to get word from the NEWEST Limitless Management member! We were able to chat with AngelOfBattle, the new Esports Coordinator for Limitless, and get his comments on these vast opportunities not only for Limitless but especially for the players!
First, let me officially welcome you to Limitless. It’s an honor to be under the same organization with you again, and I’m excited to see what you do for the organization! Let me start by asking you this: Limitless has been invited to the EWC (Esports World Cup) and an invitation to RLCS Worlds as the SSA (Sub-Saharan Africa) representative. What does it mean to the organization to continue to represent SSA and compete in Saudi Arabia against the other regions at such a historic event? This is massive! First, being invited to compete in such a historic and prestigious event is an honor. I am excited to see the team compete and represent SSA and Limitless. Second, it truly speaks volumes about the effort and drive that the team puts into competing at such a high level. For them to be recognized for this is truly inspiring.
Secondly, what do events such as EWC generally mean to Rocket League and Esports? Do they hold the same value as the World Championship event or a more excellent value? As far as the EWC, it has the same value as a World Championship. I look at the EWC as our Olympics. This truly is a global championship. To compete on the highest stage and the best talent in the world has to fuel the competitive fire as far as the impact that the EWC has on Rocket League and Esports, in general, is groundbreaking. This event will get thousands of eyes on esports that some people may have never seen. A more traditional LOL org now will have its fans cheering on their Rocket League team to try and get more points for the entire org instead of just watching the League events.
Finally, where do Limitless stand now against the other talent within the RLCS, not just within their current region, despite their recent history within SSA?Looking ahead, Limitless is a Dark Horse in Worlds. While some may underestimate them, the team’s continuous improvement motivates them. I’m confident they’ll put on a spectacular show and go far!
Lastly, any closing comments for the fans? Make sure to go pick up the Limitless decals in the Rocket League store to support your favorite Rocket League team as they crush it at Worlds and EWC!!!
