6Mans Showdown

Over the past year 6Mans has grown in popularity with Rocket League professionals in Europe, North America, and Oceania. Similar to CSGO’s ESEA system, 6Mans pools players together into random teams for a set of matches. Results are tracked on a player level and are organized into a 6Mans leaderboard.
