Look Sports Media – The Rocket League RLCS 2025 Raleigh Major explodes onto the scene today, June 26th, featuring 16 elite teams vying for glory and a hefty $351,000 prize pool. This penultimate Major before the World Championship is a crucial points-gathering opportunity, directly impacting Worlds qualification and seeding. The Lenovo Center will host the action, initially behind closed doors for the first two days before opening its doors to the passionate fans for the weekend.
The Birmingham Major, where Karmine Corp reigned supreme, serves as a potent reminder of the high stakes involved. KCorp are again favorites, according to leading Rocket League betting sites, but the Raleigh Major promises thrilling upsets.
This year’s competition sees two British Rocket League stars aiming for victory: Jack "ApparentlyJack" Benton of Dignitas and Finlay "rise" Ferguson of Twisted Minds. ApparentlyJack, a veteran of Dignitas (a team founded by British esports legend Michael "ODEE" O’Dell), has already tasted Major victory, winning the 2022 Fall Split Major. His return to Europe with Dignitas, alongside coach Jos "ViolentPanda" van Meurs (a two-time World Champion), has seen them defeat KCorp in the Raleigh Major: Open 5, setting the stage for a confident showing.

Meanwhile, rise, currently residing in Saudi Arabia, represents Twisted Minds, a MENA team. A former Major champion himself (2022 Spring Major with Moist Esports) and a RLCS World Championship 2023 finalist with Team BDS, rise brings a wealth of experience to the table. Both rise and ApparentlyJack, along with their respective teams, have already secured their spots at the RLCS World Championship in Lyon. Raleigh presents a final chance to hone their skills and build momentum before the ultimate showdown.
The tournament unfolds through a Swiss Stage, pitting teams of similar win-loss records against each other in best-of-five matches. The top eight will then clash in a thrilling knockout bracket, with a best-of-seven format deciding the champion. Can these British players rise to the occasion and challenge for the title? The Raleigh Major is set to deliver explosive Rocket League action.
