They won RLCS 2025 regional qualifiers to battle at the soon-coming Birmingham Major.
The traditional format of Rocket League esports is 3v3 matches. Success here comes with a combination of individual skills and team actions. What if one of these components is out, and everything is about the abilities of one player? That’s exactly what happens in 1v1 tournaments!
Solo Rocket League matches are available in the game as a separate game mode. In the RLCS 2025, 1v1 competition was promoted to the level of official esports — even if only with a limited Championship presence.
The first 1v1 qualifiers of RLCS 2025 happened in three regions: Europe, South America, and Asia-Pacific. Two regional winners advance to the offline RLCS 2025 1v1 Major event in Birmingham, UK.
Mawkzy, the 1v1 Champion in Europe
The number of registered people at the RLCS 2025 Europe 1v1 Open qualifier is mind-blowing: 4,195 players. Making it through these brackets is quite an achievement.
Everything ended up with 16 players in the Group stage and 8 players in the Playoffs. In the final brackets, we could see some of the best EU Rocket League esports competitors.
- dralii — The World Champion 2024, who is playing for Karmine Corp in the RLCS 2025 season.
- Atow. — He is another guy from Karmine Corp, and the team currently has the best Rocket League roster in Europe.
- Nass — The player represents Ninjas in Pyjamas.
- ApparentlyJack — After being part of Gen.G, ApparentlyJack is in Dignitas now, and the team also qualified for the Birmingham Major.
Seeing Mawkzy advancing through such packed brackets and winning the grand final against dralii is very, very impressive. The guy does not represent an esports organization. Mawkzy is a Rocket League content creator, and he managed to beat the best competitors in one of the strongest major regions. This is inspiring!
