Look Sports Media – The RLCS World Championship 2025 explodes into action today with the commencement of the Group Stage at the LDLC Arena. Following a brutal Play-in stage that saw heavyweights like TSM, FUT Esports, MIBR, and a disappointing Shopify Rebellion (Slater and Retals notably struggling) fall by the wayside, ROC Esports, NiP, Virtus.pro, and Gen.G emerged victorious to join the main event.
The Group Stage is set to be a whirlwind of high-octane Rocket League action. Group A pits Karmine Corp, fresh off their EWC victory over Geekay Esports, against Virtus.pro, The Ultimates, Dignitas, ROC Esports, Wildcard, and Furia. A rematch of that thrilling EWC Grand Final is a very real possibility if both teams navigate their opening matches successfully.
Group B promises equally explosive matchups. Team Falcons, who finally broke their silver curse at the RLCS Raleigh Major, face Gen.G, Spacestation, Team Vitality, NRG, NiP, and Team Secret. Falcons will be looking to improve on their third-place finish at EWC, where they suffered a semi-final defeat to Karmine Corp. NRG and Dignitas, while strong contenders, face a crucial challenge: navigating the group stage cleanly to avoid the treacherous lower bracket. A potential clash between NRG and Team Secret, who famously reverse-swept Karmine Corp in Raleigh, looms large. Team Secret’s Brazilian roster, having impressed at EWC, will be eager to make a statement against Twisted Minds.
