RLCS simulator

Rocket League Esports Simulator

Rocket Draft is a free Rocket League simulator for the esports side of the game. You build a roster from real RLCS lineups, and the game simulates a full RLCS-style tournament around it, series by series, until one team lifts the trophy.

What this Rocket League simulator simulates

It does not simulate car physics or a match on the pitch. It simulates the competition: rosters, ratings, series and brackets. Every card is a real player, coach, substitute or organization from RLCS history, 2016 to today. Each player carries an overall and six internal stats — Offense, Defense, Mechanics, Consistency, Experience and Clutch — reviewed by hand, and those numbers decide how a series plays out.

How the RLCS tournament simulation works

Sixteen teams enter. The Swiss stage is played in best-of-5: three wins advance, three losses and you are out. The top eight seed into a double-elimination bracket in best-of-7, where an upper-bracket loss drops you to the lower bracket, not out of the event. Your team rating comes mostly from player overalls; chemistry, the organization's buff, the coach and special-card effects add the edge. Upsets are part of the model: a lower-rated team can still take a series.

Simulate at your own pace

Play the tournament one series at a time and read how each one went, or skip to the end and go straight to the final standings. Either way the results screen breaks down the run: where you finished, who knocked you out, and how your roster rated.

Four difficulties, one fair draft

Easy, Normal and Hard scale the strength of the field you simulate against. The draft itself is fully random on every difficulty, so luck is the same for everyone. Clearing Hard unlocks Legacy: an all-time gauntlet of championship rosters, with overalls hidden so that knowledge of the scene does the work.

Simulate one region or the whole world

The worldwide draft mixes every region and era. Region-Locked Draft narrows both the cards you are dealt and the teams in the bracket to a single scene: North America, Europe, South America (SAM), MENA or Oceania, each with the regional rosters that never reached a World Championship.

From one tournament to a whole career

Road to Worlds stretches the simulation across seasons. You found a club, sign real RLCS players, train them, balance wages and sponsors, and play the calendar of regional events, Majors and the World Championship while the rest of the world is simulated around you.

Free, in the browser

There is nothing to download and no account to create. Rocket Draft runs in any modern browser on desktop and mobile, and your progress is saved on your device. It is a fan-made project, not affiliated with Psyonix or Epic Games.

Is there a free Rocket League simulator?

Yes. Rocket Draft is free and runs in the browser. It simulates Rocket League esports tournaments — you draft a roster from RLCS history and the bracket is simulated series by series.

Can I simulate an RLCS tournament?

Yes. Every run ends in a simulated RLCS-style event: 16 teams, a Swiss stage in best-of-5 and a double-elimination playoff bracket in best-of-7, against real historical lineups.

Does it simulate real Rocket League gameplay?

No. There are no cars or physics here. The simulation works on team and player ratings, chemistry and series formats, the way a sports management game does.
