Rocket League gets new basketball themed event – for those bored of good ol’ football
Brace yourself Rocket League players, hold onto something I swear to god this is gonna shake you to your core. From now until October 18, the Hoops event is live which, instead of revelling in the lovely, relaxing, embracing football we’ve grown, we’ve gotten another basketball arena. I’m shaking.
That’s right, with a new arena called “The Block”, players will be able to shoot balls into — get this — large circular hoops at each side of the arena, as opposed to the smaller, elegant goals Rocket League is known for.
There’s more! With the new arena and event there’s challenges are rewards to dive — or drive — into. Rewards include the illustrious new game time player anthem, and the animated double dribble topper. What a mouthful, and one you’ll want to nab before the event goes forever.

Inside Love Island star Wes Nelson’s amazing home with arcade machines and basketball hoop as he splits from girlfriend
MILLIONAIRE Wes Nelson certainly knows how to splash the cash, and his luxury home is no exception.
The TV star, 24, shot to fame on Love Island back in 2018 and has since seen his bank balance soar ever since.

Due to his lucrative TV and music deals, the former hunk in trunks – who has just split from his girlfriend Lucciana Beynon – has been able to afford a HUGE home, with lots of expensive features
Wes‘ London home is a former school house but he has gone easy on the furniture.
Instead, the budding singer – who claims he was a millionaire by 21 – has filled it with games paraphernalia.
Wes has installed several retro arcade machines to play on, along with a giant badminton net that stretches across his vast lounge.

The star, who previously dated Megan Barton-Hanson and Arabella Chi, even has a freestanding basketball hoop in his open-plan living area in case he fancies a game.
His home featured on MTV Cribs, and while giving a tour of the posh pad Wes told fans: “This actually used to be a school before it was my house.
“I like having the space and think it’s quite cool because it’s such a big place. You wanna feel that freedom.”
He continued: “The reason that I haven’t filled this place with loads and loads of furniture is because I am a child at heart and just want to play games all day. Like basketball!”

Wes then proceeds to shoot a hoop before jumping with glee when he scores.
Although Wes has a very large velvet sofa and glass coffee table, he has also found room for Giant Connect 4 and a posh chess set.
And if he fancies zooming around the place, he has three electric scooters parked up near a window, along with a hover-board.
Elsewhere, Wes has a table football, a free-standing punch bag and fridge used solely for drinks and chocolate.
He has also installed a recording studio, meaning he can keep up with his singing career at home, a sleek grey kitchen and a huge walk in wardrobe for all of his threads.
