News
The first open qualifier of the new Rocket League esports season in North America features a spicy mix of smaller teams and famous veterans.
The qualification journey to the Birmingham Major starts with this tournament for North American Rocket League teams. RLCS 2025 Open 1 North America (NA) demonstrated the new balance of power on the regional scene — after the shakes of the offseason transfers.
One of the strongest rosters in the region changed their organization. The former G2 Stride players represent NRG this season. This change is similar to what happened to the World Champions 2024 in the European scene. It’s interesting to see how the players have adapted to this shift.
Some other big teams enter RLCS 2025 with roster adjustments. Can these moves pay off at NA Open 1 and the entire Split 1? Some rather smaller teams managed to advance to the final stages, too. Can underdogs deliver big surprises?
Everything about the Rocket League Open Qualifier 1 NA is here. Watch the stream and check out the detailed results.
