So far all they've said is they aren't going to sell it on Steam. Any suggestion you won't be able to play with your friend is just speculation.

The PC version of Rocket League will come to the Epic Games store in late 2019. In the meantime, it will continue to be available for purchase on Steam; thereafter it will continue to be supported on Steam for all existing purchasers."

Furthermore, Epic clarified that support for Rocket League on Steam will continue even after the game is released on the Epic Games Store and players "will still be able to play Rocket League on Steam with all of the content they've previously purchased, same as always."

I can’t imagine why Valve would continue to provide services such as Steamworks matchmaking and Workshop content for a game they can’t possibly make any more money from.

Because they'd get bad PR for yanking that stuff? It's not like it costs them a noticeable amount of money to maintain the existing services for a single game for customers who've already purchased it.

Not just speculation, but unimaginably false. Epic even has a completely free online network service that's completely cross platform and for any storefront. I can't picture them not having online work across storefronts.
