The Fordham esports Rocket League Tournament qualifier presented by Ridgewood Savings Bank was held on October 26 and 27 to determine who would go on to represent the Rams in the A-10 Rocket league Tournament. Fordham had 14 teams compete in its tournament, the second most number of teams/players out of the eight participating Atlantic 10 schools.
Impact defeated Jaden, 4-0, in the Fordham championship game, which was streamed on Twitch, to win $600 worth of Applebee's gift cards in conjunction with the Applebee's of Fordham Plaza. By advancing to the Fordham championship game, Impact and Jaden both automatically advanced to the Atlantic 10 Rocket League Tournament where they were joined by TheAbyssWalkers, an at-large selection.
Impact, Jaden, and TheAbyssWalkers all competed in the first round on Friday with Impact advancing to the quarterfinals later in the day where it fell to the GMU A team which would go on to win the championship.
