November 29, 2025 — Week 8 brought 24 teams to the bracket and produced one of the season's most interesting storylines: a pick-up squad assembled under the name LLama Champions walked away with the title.
Grand Final
LLama Champions, with KnightYuh (previously of No Hesitation), Resonal (previously of Rotating Up!), and pIGEON, came together as a temporary squad and ran through the bracket to reach the Grand Final. There they defeated Solace Path (lucarl13, Fast_rll, and Pyrix) to claim the $100 prize. It was KnightYuh's fourth event win of the season, now spread across two different team names.

- 1st — LLama Champions ($100) — KnightYuh, Resonal, pIGEON

The ZAVE ecosystem fielded three separate squads (ZAVE Elite, ZAVE Master, and ZAVE Esports), all placing in the top eight. As a proving ground for developing players, ZAVE was using Rocket Rush exactly as intended. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the championship qualification picture was starting to take shape.
