Kansas City Pioneers have acquired the roster of Aeon, Rapid and Sea-Bass ahead of RLCS X after Flight leaves Rocket League Esports.

Flight have undergone a turbulent off-season so far, with just the one recognisable appearance in Psyonix's community tournaments, finishing 13th-16th in Codename: Covert, falling to NRG, Rat Enterprises and Bubble team 'Loco' in the group stages. They did manage to beat Loco, who placed above them on game difference.

Heading into the highly anticipated RLCS X, the team will now want to focus on regaining their form, after finding a new home.

Welcome to Rocket League Esports, Kansas City Pioneers.
