Rocket League's tenth Competitive Season will come to a close next month. That means it's time to reveal the upcoming Season Rewards. We're excited to announce that the rewards for Competitive Season 10 will be brand new Goal Explosions!

Competitive Season 10 will end, and Season 11 will begin, on May 13. Like previous Competitive Seasons, there will be unique reward for ranks Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, and Grand Champion. The Grand Champion Rank will have its own unique reward in addition to the the Season 10 Grand Champion Title.

Check out the video below to see the new Goal Explosions in action.

In addition to the unique Grand Champion Rewards and Titles, Extra Mode Grand Champion Titles are returning for Season 10. Extra Mode Titles for the Grand Champion Rank debuted in Season 9 and will be back this season. See the full distribution breakdown below:

COMPETITIVE AND EXTRA MODE REWARDS

  • Bronze I or higher – Season 10 – Bronze Goal Explosion
  • Silver I or higher – Season 10 – Silver Goal Explosion + lower Goal Explosions
  • Gold I or higher – Season 10 – Gold Goal Explosion + lower Goal Explosions
  • Platinum I or higher – Season 10 – Platinum Goal Explosion + lower Goal Explosions
  • Diamond I or higher – Season 10 – Diamond Goal Explosion + lower Goal Explosions
  • Champion I or higher – Season 10 – Champion Goal Explosion + lower Goal Explosions

GRAND CHAMPION REWARDS

  • Competitive Grand Champion – ‘Season 10 – Grand Champion’ In-Game Title + Grand Champion Goal Explosion + all Season 10 Goal Explosions
  • Rumble Grand Champion – ‘Season 10 – RNG Champ’ In-Game Title + Grand Champion Goal Explosion + all Season 10 Goal Explosions
  • Dropshot Grand Champion – ‘Season 10 – Floor Destroyer’ In-Game Title + Grand Champion Goal Explosion + all Season 10 Goal Explosions
  • Hoops Grand Champion – ‘Season 10 – Dunk Master’ In-Game Title + Grand Champion Goal Explosion + all Season 10 Goal Explosions
  • Snow Day Grand Champion – ‘Season 10 – Blizzard Wizard’ In-Game Title + Grand Champion Goal Explosion + all Season 10 Goal Explosions

(Note: Grand Champion In-Game Titles for Extra Modes are earned by achieving Grand Champion Rank in each individual Extra Mode)

You still have a few more weeks left in Season 10 to hit your goals. Remember, you have to complete your placement matches in a Competitive Playlist and fulfill the appropriate Season Reward Level in order to earn your rewards for Competitive Season 10. Competitive Season 11 will have the same soft reset that previous competitive seasons have had. You will need to complete 10 placement matches per Competitive Playlist to earn your rank, which will likely be near your previously held rank.

If you're still working on reaching that next rank, be sure to bring your A-game to get those wins before May 13 when Season 10 ends and Season 11, begins. As always, good luck and have fun!

Any plans on normalizing seasons? It always just randomly ends. I feel like they should be every X amount of weeks, the season ends.

Also, any plans on combatting the MMR inflation seen recently?

Love the goal explosions by the way - first rewards in a while that I'm genuinely interested in!

We're working towards this, yes!

...any plans on combatting the MMR inflation seen recently?

We are taking a broader look at Competitive play to see what kinds of changes/refreshes Ranked can benefit from. It may be a few seasons before we implement any changes, however.

This is probably the first time I've been pleasantly surprised. A unique GC reward and goal explosions. I was convinced that the last iteration of GE rewards was an excuse to say you did it and not revisit it, so I guess I was wrong. Props for that.

But I have to address this part of the post:

Competitive Season 11 will have the same soft reset that previous competitive seasons have had.

Why? Why have you guys not acknowledged the controversy with the current soft reset system, nor addressed concerns about rank inflation after several seasons. It's pretty ridiculous that it hasn't at least been addressed. I imagine this season's distribution will be similar to last season's because this season is on the shorter side, but there's still going to be build up at the C3 threshold - since no one else actually gets reset - and anyone who plays close to that level, from C2 to around 1600 MMR, can see the inconsistencies with player skill level. It never evens out because and it's just going to continue to get worse. I suppose introducing a higher rank than GC would be a temporary solution since it would encourage the large number of GCs who stop playing, or switch to casuals, to grind it out and thus separate the players more appropriately, but idk. Something needs to be done. Perhaps an actual soft reset...

We've talked about this a bit on Twitter and in some replies on here, but I agree that we haven't talked about it more specifically or visibly in a blog or similar. We are looking at some potential changes for Ranked to be implemented later this year, but we're still working through potential changes and ideas. We've definitely heard the Champ and GC players and their want for some changes, but we want to make sure any changes we make benefit Competitive as a whole.

I have not gotten any esport tokens from the weekly challenges. Have you guys gotten any?

I think there's some confusion here. You do not receive Esports Tokens for completing Weekly Challenges. Esports Tokens can only be purchased.

Could we maybe get an end date at the beginning of the season, or do you think this would affect how people play?

I think normalizing seasons will help with this down the line.
