RL Buddy

This app is not affiliated with Psyonix and is an unofficial fan app.

During some of the esports matches, you want to give the commentators just a little bit more information about the game and that is what RL Buddy does. Using SOS-Plugin RL Buddy is a stand-alone application that runs on Android Tablets or Windows. The application was first used during RLCS Fall Major in Rotterdam to collect feedback and start the process of improving the application.
