Who will join Karmine Corp at the Rocket League Birmingham Major?
Team Vitality’s roster includes two World Champions and their victorious coach. They started the qualification series of this year's Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS 2025) well — even if Karmine Corp did destroy them in the grand final. But then, the performance of Team Vitality dropped substantially in Open 2. The series’ favorites are way behind the top team on the leaderboard.
Despite this, many Rocket League esports fans follow the World Champions. Still, some other teams also have good chances at RLCS 2025 Open 3 EU. Dignitas, Ninjas in Pyjamas, 100%, and Gentle Mates Alpine are within the qualification possibility.
It is surprising to see M8 struggling in the RLCS 2025 Split 1 qualifications. Player itachi left the organization for Ninjas in Pyjamas. Was he a key factor?
Meanwhile, 100% is the biggest surprise of this season. If the players can compete nicely at RLCS 2025 Open 3 EU, their presence at the RLCS Major 1 will be a great success for the organization.
The third open qualifier in Europe is extremely interesting. Everything you need to know about this Rocket League esports event is here: the stream, teams in the Groups stage, and detailed results of the final brackets.
